Re: Remove Order data model dependency for POS sales

[Arun Patidar <ar...@hotwaxsystems.com>]

Thanks all for your feedback on this.  As Scott mentioned that order model
has its own benefits. So, for now keeping POS sales through Order model.

I will keep thinking on uses and benefits of order model with POS sales and
will update you accordingly.

Thanks again for all your support and time.
