The software is limited in functionality. Compared to the full
version of Lexpos Retailer it is programmed to be limited in the following
ways:
-
the local stock list only holds 20 items.
The system comes with a full C&D listing of 80,000 products, but will only
remember the prices and stock levels for 20 of them.
-
only three purchase orders may be transmitted.
The system stores the details of every purchase order you create during the
lifetime of the till and you can create as many as you like with the demo
version. The limitation is how many may be transmitted electronically. Our test
pharmacies use at most three suppliers, so the demo version was limited to
being able to transmit to three suppliers, so that you can test the electronic
ordering. For this to succeed, your computer will need to have a modem
connected to a phone line.

C&D / wholesaler updates are not possible
Every week, Lexpos Retailer releases the amendments to the C&D price list
in the form of an update on this website. The demonstration version of the
software is incapable of importing the C&D data, though it will display the
screen where you would perform the update. In a similar fashion, the major
wholesalers release product information files approximately once a month. The
demo version will not import data from these files either.
For all other purposes the demonstration version is identical
in function, to the full version
