[edardev]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, the current Point of Sale (POS) module in ERPNext lacks the speed and user-friendly features present in Odoo ERP POS, leading to a less efficient and intuitive experience for users.

Describe the solution you'd like
I propose a feature request to revamp the Point of Sale (POS) module in ERPNext, focusing on improving its speed and enhancing user-friendliness. This may include optimizing the interface, streamlining transaction processes, and incorporating features that align with the intuitive and efficient design of Odoo ERP POS.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Users currently face challenges with the existing POS module and may resort to seeking third-party solutions or customizations to meet their speed and usability requirements. However, a native, enhanced POS module within ERPNext would eliminate the need for external solutions and provide a seamless experience for users.

Additional context
A faster and more user-friendly POS module is crucial for businesses that rely on efficient point-of-sale transactions. Taking inspiration from the successful design principles of Odoo ERP POS, this feature request aims to enhance the overall user experience, improve productivity, and make the POS module a standout feature within ERPNext.

I personally think that ERPNext's POS is way better than Odoo. I have used the latter for 5 years and it's very frustrating.
What ERPNext lacks is more of retail functionality such as hold/void/send sale and other standard retail POS functionalities. I heard about POSAwesome but come to know that it's still not updated for v15.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I completely agree that ERPNext’s POS has a lot of potential. However, one area where ERPNext could improve is integrating with payment terminals, like Stripe and HELCIM terminals, which would significantly enhance retail operations.
