POS Systems

Point of Sale systems (POS) need to be able to create charges (postings) in 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.

There 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

1. (Optional)Use the get all services operation to retrieve all the services that the property has configured in Ulyses Cloud.
2. 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.
3. Use the add posting operation to add a posting with a ticket and the currency used to an specific folioID
4. Or add the posting operation to add a posting with a ticket to an specific folio Code. This is used specifically to enter postings to passerby customers.

Method 2: Send charges to an specific room 

1. (Optional)Use the get all services operation to retrieve all the services that the property has configured in Ulyses Cloud.
2. First, we will need to know which rooms are occupied and have a reservation allocated. This can be done easily by using this endpoint.
3. Following, we will send the the charge to an specific room by using the following endpoint
