Use a point of sale like www.phppointofsale.com or it's opensource equivalent at https://sourceforge.net/projects/opensourcepos/

Joe,

I am not asking for support on accounting. I just need some assistance with the software itself.

For example when you raise an invoice the for have shipping cost and it seems that you have to receipt the invoice. My question is:

How do I set FA to record a direct sales at a cash register?

Money trail that needs to be recorded is as follows:

Customer to cash register
cash register to bank

Thanks

Sheils

FA can handle most kind of business, inclusive yours, but we do not give support on accounting. We simply do not have resources for that.

Does that mean that FrontAccounting is not suitable for my type of business

Please start by talking to a local accountant. Then try to find an adequate Chart of Accounts to start from.

I own a small island charter business. The transactions are pretty basic. Client comes to the reception, pays for a trip and board the boat to go on the excursion (we also take advance booking with deposit).

Is FrontAccounting suitable for this type of business transaction. If so:

How do I set the account up so that:-

There is no shipping cost on the invoicing and receipt form;
Money paid at the register goes into a cash register account
Set default price each excursion

Thanks in advance
