Item Templates and Variants are a normal part of core ERPNext.

The implementation of Templates in POS Awesome is designed to make it easier to use especially in a touch screen environment.

The Cashier can simply pick the template and is then giving an option of attributes to choose from in order to get the actual variant.

For example consider a Cake Shop, cakes comes in different sizes and flavours

When the cashier picks a type of cake she will be confronted with the following pop up

Cashier picks the flavour and size and is left with the exact cake. She can then drop this into the Shopping cart

The above appliers to any kind of template with an unlimited level of attributes.

For this to be effective the following options have to be checked at the POS Profile

  • Show Template Items - Show this to ensure that Item Template is shown. Normally in ERPNext templates are not shown at POS
  • Hide Variants - If this is checked, the variant items will not show at POS, only the template will show. Cashier will be able to access the variants by clicking on the template and choosing the relevant attribute options as explained above
