1.5 Choosing Terminal
If your login is correct, you will be forwarded to the terminal screen. A Terminal can be considered as a till in your shop, or a single computer. So, you may have many terminals in just one single shop. However, most likely you will have a single terminal per organization. By choosing a terminal you will see a list of values appearing on the right hand side, this is showing you how the terminal is configured. For example what price list it is using, and which warehouse the products will be taken from when a product is sold.

Getting Familiar to Posterita POS Screen
‐ To get access to all the menus, click on the ‘home’ icon displayed above, the following screen will appear:
Fig. 11: Posterita Main Menu
‐ The header displayed on the grey part to the right of the logo allows you to locate yourself on the system.
You will notice a time in the header of Posterita, this is the time of your current machine. Although we do have a server time, we deem it more practical to actually allow the user to specify his own time zone. The time displayed on top, is the time set on the current machine. We do however provide some restrictions, in order to refrain users from backdating the order. By default it is not allowed to backdate more than 2 days which is the default of Adempiere or to also input more than 2 days into the future. This time is consistent all across posterita, on the clock‐in, clock out (Discussed further in section 2.1.3). Anywhere the time is not specified, the time on your machine, is what is being used.
Training Tutorial
18 Training Manual Posterita Version 2.0
However in Posterita, the created date and updated date, is the server time. Only the documents time defaults to the user's time, like the order date, close till etc...
Developer note: Over here we should consider using the automatic period provided by Adempiere, in order not to duplicate functionality and to allow for flexibility in the future.
1.6 Things to be settled first
Along with the creation of the terminal, the system creates some important aspects such as warehouse, cash book, and pricelist by default. Others such as:
(i) Setting the float amount (ii) Setting timezone (iii) Setting tax (iv) Importing / Creating Products
must be created manually.
1.6.1 Setting the float amount
The ‘float amount’ is the amount of money that will be retained in the till after the end of day closure.
To set the float amount in Posterita, the following steps must be followed:
Step 1: Select ‘company’ from Pos main menu.

Fig.18: Tax Rate
Step 3: Set the tax rate and tax category according to your organization. The tax rate set here is not mandatory so that different tax rate set on the products can be used. (More details in products section, 1.6.4)
Step 4: Save your changes.
1.6.4 Import / Create Products
In order to execute some sale transactions, products to be sold must be fed into the system. This can be done in two ways:
(i) Importing your products if you have many (ii) Creating your products one by one if there are not many of them.
1.6.4.1 Import
Training Tutorial
26 Training Manual Posterita Version 2.0
To import products, the whole list must be first classified along with its pricelist, in an excel sheet which is then saved in .csv format.
The CSV is what is imported into the system. Please note that the header is removed before importing the CSV.
Fig.19: CSV
Step 1: select ‘stock’ from the POS main menu list
Training Tutorial
27 Training Manual Posterita Version 2.0
Fig.20: Stock
Step 2: Click on ‘Products’ from the stock menu list
Training Tutorial
28 Training Manual Posterita Version 2.0

Step 3: Click on the ‘Import button’ highlighted in Fig.13. Please note that the CSV. File should be uploaded without the headers.
Training Tutorial
29 Training Manual Posterita Version 2.0
Fig. 22: Loading CSV
Step 4: Click on ‘load’ button
Step 5: Select the product’s respective headers from the drop downs.
Fig.23: Import Products
Training Tutorial
30 Training Manual Posterita Version 2.0
Step 6: Click on ‘Import’
If all headers have been correctly inserted, the products will be successfully uploaded into the system.
When uploading products you can choose which tax rate to upload for each product in the tax rate field. If the tax rate does not exist, it will be created under the standard tax category.
You can edit the products uploaded and the tax rate will be applied to the products. In the products screen this tax rate can be changed, consequently, the price of the products will be changed depending on the price list whether it includes tax or not. If there is no tax rate set when uploading products, the products will choose a default tax rate set on the org first (Section 1.6.3). If there is no tax rate set on the specific org then it will choose the tax rate set on the * organisation. Tax category is Standard and tax rate is Exempt by default.
All tax rate should be created on * org by default and if a tax rate is created on an organisation A, only organisayion A should be able to see this tax rate. When created under *, all organisation get that tax rate.
Note 1: The tax rate in the product should be mandatory. Note 2: Products imported under a particular organisation, say A, will appear under that organisation only. Users from another organisation B, will not be able to view those products. In this way, it is ensured that no other organisation is selling your products.
1.6.4.2 Create products
If while importing the products into the system, you have missed one or two, then these can be created manually.
Step 1: Follow steps 1 and 2 from section 1.6.4.2.
Step 2: Select the ‘create’ button
Training Tutorial
31 Training Manual Posterita Version 2.0
Fig.24: Create Icon
Step 3: Fill up the form provided. Please note that all textboxes denoted by a * are mandatory.
Training Tutorial
32 Training Manual Posterita Version 2.0
Fig.25: Create Product
There are a couple of important fields to understand here.
There are a couple of important fields to understand here:
Product Name: Name of product must be unique in the system.
Description: The description of the product is what is printed on the receipt.
Primary Group: It is the main group used, for example if we have a t‐shirt product with different sizes, the t‐shirt will be named as ‘Basic T‐shirt Posterita Small’, there will be other products like Basic T‐shirt Posterita Medium. Over here, the primary group should be, Basic T‐shirt Posterita.
Product Category: It is very important; we use this group to group items which will have exactly the same price. For instance, let’s say we will always sell all the Basic T‐shirts at the same price, even during a sales period, so we would easily be able to change the price for all of them, simply by editing all the prices at one go.
There should be groups 3, 4, 5 and 6 also to appear in the system.
Group1, group2 group3: These terminologies can be changed by the system to ‘sizes’, ‘colour’ depending on one’s convenience. Even the fields of the product can be changed by the system.
Units per pack: Just a convenient way to transfer products. It is used only in stock transfer screen.
Training Tutorial
33 Training Manual Posterita Version 2.0
Active: Checking ‘active’ will make the product appear when it is searched.
Item: Item has quantity that can be controlled.
Service: Service does not have a quantity. By default its quantity is 0
Purchase & Sale pricelists that are appearing are the prices set in the terminal.
Tax Rate: The tax rate is defined as the following.
Tax category: allows regrouping items with similar tax. For example there are some goods when sold, are exempt from tax. So, it will be good to create 2 tax category at least one which is exempt and one is has the default tax rate.
Revenue Recognition: is just a way of analyzing sales
Classification: is just a field to analyse sales.
Note: If products are created under * as done in this case, then all organisations created under that domain will be able to view these products. This is ideal when all your organisations will be selling the same products.
In case you do not want this to happen, you must select the organisation for which the products are being created from the drop indicated by an arrow.
After the products have been successfully imported and created into the system, sales transactions can be effected.

Step 3: Click on the ‘search’ icon
Step 4: Set the tax rate
Note: If a tax rate is set in the New Sale screen, all products added to the cart will use this tax rate. It will overwrite all tax rate set on the products. If no tax rate is set, when products are added to cart, then the tax rate set on the products will be used.
The price list can be set to exclude tax or include tax. If it is exclude tax, these tax rates can be changed in the New Sale screen.

You will notice that there is a virtual keypad that opens on the top hand corner, to allow you to easily input any figure. In fact it takes the place of the 'discount' 'open cash drawer' place. The buttons are just as big which makes it easy for touch screen.
The keypad is an integral part of the form window; it should always next and aligned with the window form.
The keypad is automatically open, and the focus is already on a number field. Moreover, by default the numbers are already highlighted. So, if you start typing any number it will automatically erase any information that was previously inputted.
The Enter button, if pushed will circle through the different fields in the form until we arrive at the end of the form, and then it will start right at the beginning.
The keypad contains the following numbers from 0‐9, the ‘.’ DEL and ENTER.
