Ok. Thanks Jacques. I was meaning POS Search bar however i decided to
change product id to the the ones known by the users.

Though currently my challenge is the POS to server sync set up. I am
confused on what flow setup sits on the central server and what sits on the
POS machine and what other configs are needed to make it work

· MCS - PSS

· PSS - POS

· POS - PSS

· PSS - MCS

Please guide me.


Most of the time the POS sends order process like information to the 
centralising unit
The centralising unit sends catalogue like information (new categories, 
products, etc.)
Between there might be a centralisation also (by physical stores w/ several POS 
for instance) but not necessarily, IMO the simpler the better...

I guess you read 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Sync+Setup+Notes+and+Example ?

You should use a barcode reader  for the rest. Actually it's often
easier
to always use a barcode reader. If a barcode is missing for a product
you
can use the backend to retrieve it (you still need to know the product
Id
or name) eg:
http://demo-trunk-ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/
ProductBarCode.pdf?productId=GZ-1000

Of course for that you need to label your products. I believe it's a
much
safer way on all perspectives at mid and long term...
