Configure Bureau Vallée
This guide describes the Bureau Vallée PostgreSQL connector. The provider must confirm the installation and supported exchange; the brand does not establish support for every version or a connection to its online shop.
The ImaCash computer needs access to the active database, using a private account authorised to read transactions, sales staff and payment methods. No write permission is needed to confirm or cancel transactions at the source.
Configuration steps
- Ask the administrator for the server, PostgreSQL port, database and read account for this installation. Confirm access under the actual ImaCash Windows user; do not use example credentials.
- Open Configuration > Integration > POS and select Bureau Vallee, the name shown in the selector.
- Enter Server IP, Port, Database name, User and Password using the private details supplied. Port belongs to the PostgreSQL service and the database must be the active catalogue; this profile does not ask for a SQL Server instance, DSN or sales files.
- In the payment method dialogs, select the actual cash and card options, different from each other. Check Accept cards in Settings where appropriate; Workstations does not replace payment methods. Saving without changes may retain the previous catalogue.
- Close the modified configuration and choose to save. Review integration checks and saved payment methods; explicitly confirm a proposed restart when appropriate.
- With the provider, validate the reference, amount including cents, sign, salesperson and payment classification, as well as cash actually accepted or returned. A successful connection does not establish the complete workflow.
Scope and checks
Reads payment amounts linked to sales according to the selected methods. The date comes from document modification, not necessarily the original sale. It does not promise a universal breakdown of mixed payments or change, or bank reconciliation.
Also covers negative refunds without a linked sale provided by the source. Confirm their meaning and payment method with the provider; not every negative balance is a cash refund.
Can read sales staff and filter by cashier. This profile does not discover terminals, tills or shops: the generic workstation received does not identify a physical terminal. Do not assume separation by shop or workstation unless validated.
Confirming or cancelling in ImaCash writes neither a confirmation nor a cancellation in Bureau Vallée. If the result is uncertain, review the document and actual cash with support before repeating, resynchronising or restarting.
Does not import products or shifts and does not provide a bank card total. Editions, permissions and physical operation must be validated with the provider before live use.
Official Bureau Vallée website
Historical reference in Spanish with empty fields: it shows Retail and the former Save button. In the current interface, use POS and save when closing the configuration.
