Use Cases / Context

Note there are several implementations of the concept of deposits with varying degrees of complexity:

• product_packaging_container_deposit
• pos_product_pack

This module focusses on simplicity for users who don’t want to get into packaging.

Configuration

To configure this module, you need to go to Point of Sale > Products.

1. Select or add at least one ‘deposit product’, such as ‘Bottle 1L’, with a non-zero price and with the checkbox ‘Is Deposit’ set to True.
2. Select or add at least one product of which ‘Use Deposit’ is checked, such as ‘1 liter of cola’. In the accompanying product selection field, select the bottle. The two products are now linked.

Usage

To use this module, open a POS session and:

1. When a deposit product (eg. cola) is added, the bottle is added to the order as well and the quantities are kept in sync.
2. When someone brings back bottles to the store, you can just add a bottle and enter a negative sale quantity, thus refunding the bottle.
