This module extends the functionality of Point of Sale module.
By default, in Odoo a timeout is set to 30 seconds for the creation of a PoS order. This threshold is usually sufficient, but in some cases it is not, mainly if the connection is bad, or if some custom modules add extra long treatments.
This module allows to change this default value.
If the call contains more than one order (after a long disconnection period for example, or if the previous call raised the timeout) the effective timeout value applied will be equal to the defined timeout value multiplied by the number of orders.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0Lets you change the 30-second timeout Odoo uses when the Point of Sale sends orders to the server, so slow connections or heavy customizations no longer cause failed order syncing.
By default, when the Point of Sale screen sends orders to the server it waits 30 seconds before giving up. On slow connections, or when extra modules make the server take longer, that wait can be too short and orders may fail to sync. This module adds a setting so you can choose your own wait time.
Where to find it:
- Go to the Point of Sale settings, in the interface section, and fill in the new "PoS Order(s) Timeout" field. The value is in seconds and applies to a single order.
- The same value is stored on each point of sale configuration (pos.config), so it can differ from one shop or register to another.
What it changes: - If you leave the field empty, Odoo keeps its normal 30-second wait. - If you set a value, the Point of Sale waits that many seconds when sending one order. - When several orders are sent together (for example after a long disconnection, or after a previous attempt timed out), the wait is multiplied by the number of orders being sent, so the whole batch has enough time.
The module only touches the Point of Sale configuration and settings screens; it does not change how orders are created or stored.
