**** INTRODUCTION ****
This is the information & registration file on the program CJPOS.
CJPOS was created by Christopher J. Ryba to provide an EXTREMELY user
friendly point-of-sale program for my friend Christopher Kilcoyne ;
owner of Brookpark Certified Automotive Service in Parma, Ohio. He
wanted a program to print receipts and save estimates at his shop.
What evolved from simple beginnings in August of 1992 is rather complete
package for any small business who can dedicate a CGA or VGA IBM
compatible computer with DOS 3.3 or higher to point of sale operation.
Default printer drivers include the EPSON/Panasonic character set and the HP
command set. These printers have been tested. A printer driver creator is
available to registered users. Print receipts and reports from any port
- LPT1 thru LPT4; COM1 thru COM4.
Additional default printers are being added to PRINTERS.DRV in future
editions to assure compatiblity.
IF TODAY IS PAST 12/31/1996 THEN YOUR COPY IS PROBABLY FAIRLY OUTDATED.
CONTACT CUYAHOGA COMPUTING TO OBTAIN A MORE RECENT VERSION. THIS PROGRAM
NOT ONLY FOR AUTOMOTIVE USE - BIKE SHOPS, GUITAR SHOPS, COMPUTER VENDORS,
GUN SHOPS & PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE ALSO USING IT !
********** HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS **********
* The program needs an MINIMUM of 4.0 Meg hard disk space to run.
Naturally as more receipts are written, the program data files will grow
over 4 Meg in size.
* 640 K of RAM is required. 560 K free RAM when starting program is
recommended. The FILES= in your CONFIG.SYS should be at least 30.
* DOS 3.30 or higher for the operating system.
* A line such as EMM386.EXE RAM - not EMM386.EXE NOEMS in your CONFIG.SYS
CJPOS will run better if Expanded memory is available. If not using
EMM386 then the 'mem' command from a C:\> prompt will tell if you
have Expanded (EMS) memory.
* 80286 or later micropressor.
* Will run in a DOS window in Windows (R) without any problems.
The automotive demo data can be overwritten by a blank data set by
1. PKUNZIP DBFBASE -o
2. DEL *.NDX
You can then restart the system.

***************************** OPERATION ********************************
This page is a quick rundown of operation. See MANUAL.TXT for
more information.
The list box on the left contains different departments. For BCAS
of Parma these departments are Services , Exhaust, Emmisions, Brakes,
Shocks & Struts, Springs, and so on till Miscellaneous. After
selecting one of these a window pops up with various categories.
For example, select the Exhaust Department with parts such as
mufflers, pipes, hangers, clamps, etc. Using the cursor keys moves
a selection box to a part category. Say we chose Mufflers, now
striking the Enter key replaces the first window with a second window
listing the part numbers under that category. For our example,
we choose #1811G of Mufflers by using the cursor keys again to move
the selection box. This exact part number for Mufflers has the price
to go with it. Finally the quantity is prompted at the bottom of the
window; the default value is 1. If the SKU Number representing the
part is known that SKU can be scanned using barcodes or typed. To switch
to that mode of entry select "Toggle SKU / Menu Entry" from the 'Main'
menu.
For the Services department, canned descriptions of labor are
loaded in with their hour quantity. These descriptions can be added
to. The appropiate labor rate is then selected. The Labor/Services
department is not required to be part of the system however.
The beauty of CJPOS is that it is a "build on the fly" program in
which a user can add part, part number, & labor descriptions as
they're needed.
When a receipt is ready, it can be saved as an estimate, or finalized
as TENDERING to Cash, Check, Visa/MC, Discover, American Express. More
tender types are optional.
Line items can be deleted or changed if an incorrect entry occured.
Customer names & information are prompted before the end of a sale.
This information can retrieved if a sale re-occurs to the same customer
at a later date by providing several letters of the last name, the last 4
digits of their phone, or by their customer number. Your present customers
can be added if you desire. The 'Customer' screen provides an opurtunity
to review previous sales history for customers as well.
Back to the main menu, several other choices are presented. Daily
sales (F8) can be viewed. A daily printout sheet of these items is
provided. Also the products sold for the day, week or any variable
period (2 days to ?) can be tallied, viewed, printed, or output to a
ASCII space delimited, tab, or comma delimited text file for a spreedsheet
program. ( Select export mode in 'System Setup')
Inventory of part numbers is tracked and quantities altered in the
Inventory Menu. A printout of loaded part numbers can done for
every department; a cost sum of positive inventory counts is included.
The program saves all information in an DBF format that can be viewed
with a dBASE browse or other capable program (Excel, Quattro). See the
PACKING.LST for explanation of each file.
