There is only a minimal POS feature, under Setup tab, in FA.
If you need further options, you may search the forum for ideas about this.

Re: Same product, different Item Qty - How to know Inventory? (3 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
Sorry, by simple assembly I meant Assembly.
Yes you should create new unit of measures and use these.
The Assembly is not the quite the same as the Advances Manufacturing. Just like is says, assembles some items.
Yes, you need to create a BOM for them, but you only have to do that once.

Re: Balance in Dimension Menu (5 replies, posted in Dimensions)
Oh, there is a bug in the calculation of balance for dimensions. There was a double db_escape in /dimensions/includes/dimensions_db.inc. Fixed in HG repository.
There was also a bug in /dimensions/view/view_dimension.php. Changing the dates here didn't process a new query. Fixed in HG repository.
Thanks for reporting this.

Re: Same product, different Item Qty - How to know Inventory? (3 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
Hello,
You should create an Item, pens, and use the Inventory adjustment (or POs) to add your stock of pens.
You can use manufacturing simple assembly to create your various boxes. And for every box you create a bom. Then create work orders as you need them.
Every time you create a work order, the pens are reduced from stock and the new box is increased.
If you have a Training Co. you can experiment with this until you are satisfied.

You are using the 'Search Customer List' that is enabled in Company Setup, Setup tab.
If you don't have that many customers you can unmark this Search and everything works 'normally'.

Re: Don't Want Delivery Notes (1 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
No it is not. The delivery phase is called with reference 'auto' . During the delivery the GL transactions for inventory and COGS are done as well as the stock moves outwards.
You don't have to use the deliveries to anything further. They occupy a transaction record in debtor_trans table.

Re: Bonus / Commission for sales? (5 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
Under the Salesman, in Sales tab, you can set the salesman to 0%. Breakpoint 1000 and then 1%. Further operations are not possible.
If you want more sophisticated sales reports you can select the Excel as destination and use columns for further calculations.

Re: Is there really NEW empty sql file? Deleting some tables .... (2 replies, posted in Installation)
The script file en_US-new.sql is empty for transactions. Only the Chart of Accounts and a couple of managed records, that are easily changed.
I don't know why your script-file is filled with transactions. Are you sure you didn't use the en_US-demo.sql, whitch is meant as a training script?

Re: Dimensions enhancements (5 replies, posted in Wish List)
Getting serious Dimension reports can not be done with use of dynamic dimensions. To get correctly P&L stqatements you must have the transactions sequential on the line (or in a table of its own with secondary keys).
Account - Dimension 1 - Dimension 2. Transactions belonging to Level 1, Dimension 1, and Level 2, Dimension 2 must be on the same transaction line and the account must be here too.
It would require enormous recursions with multi level of parents. And it would be impossible to handle these operations in the various forms.

Re: Dimensions enhancements (5 replies, posted in Wish List)
For SME sized companies 2 dimensions are more than adequate. You can get a lot of GL reports where you can get the result on 2 levels.
If you have level 1 as departments and 2 as cost centres, you can get result for department X, cost centre Y. Or department X only.
Consider using Tags if you need more filtering.

You can look in /reporting/rep210.php about line 168 how to use price_in_words.
The function is located in /includes/ui/ui_view.inc.
You can also hook your own function by using the hook class.

Re: payment discount (8 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
This was only related to the Tax on the Invoice. You will have to credit the appropriate taxes included in the discount amount. This is often very minor and not normally taken care of. But if you will you can do this. Please use the memo field to indecate the Invoice no.
