Sales from POS system

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 15

Hello!

I'm trying to integrate a 3rd party POS system to Business Central.

The POS system creates sales and payment batches that includes payments of several sales in one batch. Sales paid with credit or debit cards usually come in one batch per day but sales paid with cash can be anything depending on how much cash is in the POS register.

In BC I need to be able to track two things:

1. Item sales
2. Payment batches

First I was thinking about importing both into Sales Invoices but then I realised that the POS sale invoices never get paid since a single POS Sale invoice doesn't get a payment to bank account, only the payment batch gets a payment to bank account.

Next idea was to import payment batches to Sales invoices and add POS sales with g/l entries but then I cant connect them to an item and track item sales and inventory.

Any advice or recommendations whats would be the best way of handling this?

Thanks!

    I think Josh gave you a good way forward.

    You could also during import post everything to a G/L account and the distribute the payment between the bank, cash and credit card accounts if you don't want to use the automatic posting that comes with the payment method.

    Could you use the ability to set a balancing account against a payment method? You can then import the cash details to a bank account reconciliation to check it all off. I get it’s not a true bank account scenario but you can move the balance over to the real bank account once reconciled
