Point of Sale systems (POS) need to be able to create charges (postings) in UlysesPMS folios. With UlysesPMS, postings are placed the property's rooms. Ultimately on a guest or company’s folio.
Hence, a POS system needs to post charges on specific folios. Please note that we can find diverse type of folios, ranging from room folios to passer-by folios to room folios.
How to integrate your POSThere are 2 ways of integrating a POS with Ulyses Cloud, either by sending charges directly to a folio or by sending them to an specific room
Method 1: Send charges to folios
- Use the get all services operation to retrieve all the services that the property has configured in UlysesPMS.
- Use the get all folios operation to retrieve all folios where the POS can post charges. Once all folios are retrieved, the user (or the machine) will select over which client want to post a charge.
- Use the add posting operation to add a posting with a ticket and the currency used.
