2.22 Importing a Dry-Stock Catalogue
Establishing a product Catalogue from scratch can be a tedious process using the method
previously covered in
chapter 2.22 Acquiring Individual Dry-Stock Sale Items and could
potentially consume valuable POS terminal resource printing routine operations. A much
quicker and smarter method of creating a Product Catalogue is by leveraging its Dry-Stock
import functionality.
Provided a previous Product Catalogue has been created, it can then be imported into T-POS,
merging the information found in the import file with existing product(s) already present in the
database. The merge process has the following rules:
» New products found in the import file are always added to the local database.
» Products found in the import file that already exist in the local database are ignored.
Consequently, the catalogue import functionality can be used repeatedly, as the dry-stock
catalogue is dynamic and its contents will change over time.

The catalogue file uses a .csv format. Should a new dry-stock catalogue be created in a
spreadsheet application of your choosing, use the following file structure:
2.23 Security
The T-POS Terminal and its software has been developed from ground up with simplicity in
mind, maintaining security and reducing misuse by limiting the T-POS passcode authentication
to only certain key events or functions. As a result, the T-POS uses a very simple two-tier
security profile: the administrator (limited to one administrator) and everyone else or standard
T-POS Operator and Forecourt attendants.
To simplify the process even further, all T-POS Operators are identified only by their unique 4-
digit passcodes, eliminating the need to remember both a username and a password for the
authentication process, as used in most POS systems. In this way, merchants only need a single
administrator passcode throughout the entire T-POS interface for all operations while in a
deployment where several T-POS Operators are employed can use individual T-POS Operator
validation, granting limited functionality.
