Client Profile

In addition to the extant point of sale (POS) attributes inherent to Odoo, several supplementary enhancements have been integrated to streamline the POS-related functionalities for heightened user convenience.

The Challenges

Sub-Product 


Presently, within the Odoo system, it is feasible to specify a product, however, the capacity to specify options or sub-products corresponding to the main product is unavailable. As a result, during order placement via point of sale (POS), the pertinent options were not discernible to the representative, engendering a cumbersome and laborious process.

Order Receipts 


The kitchen slip and customer receipt exhibited each option as an individualized product, thereby contributing to the protraction and exacerbation of the prevailing issue. 

Solution Delivered

Product Classification


The products were categorized primarily as main products and sub-products.
Distinct product categories have been instituted for both main products and sub-products, allowing for the allocation of multiple sub-products to a primary product across varying sub-product categories as per user discretion.
 

Product Selection


During the process of order placement via point of sale (POS), the representative will initiate the selection process by choosing the main product, following which a subsequent screen will materialize, allowing for the selection of sub-products associated with the main product. The selection sequence of sub-products is structured in accordance with the sub-product categories specified for the main product. 

Kitchen Order & Receipt


Both the kitchen order and customer receipt will display the primary product along with all selected options beneath it, fostering ease of comprehension and comprehensibility for the end-users.

Additionally, the representative now possesses the capability to generate multiple kitchen receipts, a function that was originally restricted to a single instance in the default setting.
