Another new feature

Hi,

I have implemented a new feature, it is an end of day printed report (or export to PDF) for regular printers.
It shows the transactions -sales- in the day, sales totals and day profit.

Here is the screenshot of a PDF exported report:

New feature!

I have implemented a new feature for lemon. This let you print big receipts on regular printers or send to a PDF file.

It will be available soon on next release, the 0.7.4 version.

Here is the result sent to a PDF and screen captured.

Release 0.7.3 and starting new features

Yesterday was released the 0.7.3 version with some fixes.

From now, Im starting to incorporate new features that users requested. This requieres some big changes to the database structure, and starting at SVN revision 285 I have introduced new tables that will replace some fields from the products table. So I advice you to use SVN revision 284 or the 0.7.3 release. The SVN always has new code that im testing and may not always work as it should -now it has a floating toolbar for product filters that does not work-.

The big change Im working is to support different stores with a single stock managment from which a product could be sold from a different location -store,warehouse-. Also, a product could have peculiarities that differentiate from the same product, such as color and sizes, having the same code -and price,cost,etc-.

So, there are good things to come, stay tunned.

Quick Information for Squeeze

Recently I have been looking for a chart widget for squeeze. I’ve got a piechart example from a kde developer and It liked to me. So I put hands on to integrate the example in squeeze start screen to show some useful information from the sales and stock. The only problem is that the example is just that -a concept- and it has a few functionalities. There is some work to fix some things and expand it; or wait for a complete widget from this guy or to use the qwt ones (Im not good drawing at runtime with qpainter).

Here is a screenshot of the concept, of course it’s just an example.

New Lemon look!

Hi there,

I have been testing a new look for lemon main window (selling) that reduces the space waste, and makes look clearer. This fixes the oversized window when selected a product with a big photo (128px) on a screen with 800 pixels in height (my laptop).

I have not tested in ahother resolution. Of course it still will cause the oversize of the window, which makes unusable the software (some part of the window can’t be seen). An alternative is to hide the photo for such resolutions, the next workaround to code.

You can see the screenshot of this new look below. Of course, the new look is in the svn only.

New feature

The most recent feature added to squeeze, the administration module, is a purchase action.

The purchase action let the administrator/owner to add products to the stock and keep a trace of purchases with its details.

Here is a screenshot of such action:

The procedure is simple,

1. click on the purchase button
2. Type a product code. If it already exists, its information will be shown; you can modify it at your desire.
3. Then you must enter the purchased quantity
4. Type the profit margin to calculate the public price, and if the product is boxed, you can enter the number of items per box and the price per box to calculate individual item’s price.
5. Then click “add item” to add it to the pruchase list.
6. Here you can go 2 for another product.
7. Finally, click “Ok” button to process the pruchase.
