Quick Service plugin find material id

[antonell]

Hey,

I have found a method which trying to find the material id in the quick service mode before add the item as sales item.

The method is this one

@PluginAt(method="findMaterialById",pluginClass=MaterialPosService.class,where=POSITION.BEFORE)

But I noticed a strange behaviour.

Correctly it gets inside the method, get the code that I have input and split it into the material item and the other half I put it as additional field as price with the following code

MaterialPosService mst = (MaterialPosService) proxy ;

MaterialEntity mat= mst.getMaterialByKey(item);

mat.addAdditionalField(new AdditionalFieldEntity("FORCE_PRICE","",Double.toString(price)));

The system does not give me an error message and it find the correct material id in the debug mode, but I get the error message "material not found" in the checkout sales screens and never gets in the method addSalesItem.

@PluginAt(pluginClass=ReceiptPosService.class, method="addSalesItem", where=POSITION.BEFORE)

Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hello antonell

I think you are on the right way. But try it like the following code.Please let me know if this helped you out...

Best Regards

@PluginAt(pluginClass=MaterialPosService.class, method="findMaterialById", where=POSITION.AFTER)
public Object MaterialPosService_findMaterialById_After(Object proxy, Object args[], Object ret, StackTraceElement stack){
	
	String pItem = (String) args[0];
	if (pItem.contentEquals("ARTICLEPART/PRICEPART")) {
		pItem="ARTICLEPART";
		String pPrice = "PRICEPART";
		MaterialPosService matpos = (MaterialPosService) proxy;
		MaterialEntity mat= matpos.findMaterialById(pItem);
		
		mat.addAdditionalField(new AdditionalFieldEntity("FORCE_PRICE","",pPrice));

		Pair<MaterialEntity, String> retN = new Pair<>(mat,"-1");
		ret=retN;
	}
	
	return ret;
}

Dear Klaus,

Can you please explain to me what is the purpose of the number "-1" in the Pair function?

Pair<MaterialEntity,String> retN =new Pair<>(mat,"-1");

Because I used it exactly as per your example, and I faced an issue with the retrieved material.

I changed it into 10 and then the system was recognize my material but all the other value such as prices was recognized it as manual entries and if I had two pricelists synchronized in my POS, was giving me a price from a different pricelist and not from the default one.

Pair<MaterialEntity,String> retN =new Pair<>(mat,"10");

Finally I changed this value into 1 and it seems to works properly, but i would like to know what is the purpose of that number.

Pair<MaterialEntity,String> retN =new Pair<>(mat,"1");
