Thank you for your comments. RMS in the UK starts at about $4,000 and having
viewed it on several occassions is not currently a ptach on POS. For a single
store it is a sledgehammer to crack a nut, if you pardon the expression.
Other POS in the UK at the same price as Microsoft POS have both the layaway
option and kitting as standard, hence our earlier comments. We wish you good
luck with RMS but it is certainly not the solution to this problem.
