Populate product details on Epos SOLO

[nileshpa]

Can someone please advice.

I'm getting hold of some Epos Hardware next week and want to check out Actinic EPOS as I currently use Sage L50FC 2007 & Actinic Business V9.0.3 connected by Actinic Link.

The demo version Actinic provide is SOLO and not Network edition. Though ePos Solo looks good value at £499 +Vat but I cant get product info into it from Actinic Business V9.0.3 unless I opt for the epos Network edition which is £899 +Vat . Now this is a steep jump just to get product definitions between the two Actinic products.

I am very reluctant to commit to Actinic unless I know the solution works well. Is there any way I can get product details into the back end DB of ePOS Solo so that I can evaluate it before commiting?

Many thanks in advance
Nilesh

Hi Nilesh,

I just downloaded the latest Epos trial version from the Actinic website and can confirm that you are able to use it linking to Actinic Business 9.

Thanks

Andy,

Many thanks for the reply.
I think the button is greyed out because I am getting the following error messages at startup.

"Error Setting Global Variables from Main Database" and
"3320Function in not available in expressions in table-level validation expression".

These messages are not very helpful & my initial thoughts were that its because I haven't setup the company details as yet. I've uninstalled & reinstallled the software twice making sure I have no references to OPOS, yet the errors are appearing. I'm running this on a laptop with Windows XP sp2. There is a thread already with these errors but it relates to old version.

I've downloaded a new version & will reinstall it as a clean install.

Thanks
Nilesh

Hi Nilesh,

"Error Setting Global Variables from Main Database" 3320 Function error refers to Opos not being installed properly.

If you download a new version from the website, install it accepting all defaults and then you still get the error please let me know.

Thanks

Just a quick update.

After several attempts, I've managed to install the ePos software that does doesn't fail with the errors mentioned earlier. Furthermore, I've also managed to link it with Actinic Business V9.0.3 and downloaded the products onto ePos running on the same machine. However, as details such as supplier details etc are missing and therefore needs to be added on.

With 9000+ products ,I'm not keen on adding the details one by one. Is there any way these could be details loaded via CSV, ODBC etc.

Would very much appreciate the help anyone can advise.

Regards
Nilesh
