Configure the Pharmaland exchange folder
This profile exchanges amount requests through files. Confirm the Pharmaland edition and exchange method prepared for your installation with the provider; the profile name does not establish support for all its products or versions.
The installer must confirm a dedicated folder accessible to both programs. The Windows account running ImaCash needs permission to read, write and delete files there. Do not choose a documents or backup folder or publish its private path.
- From Main, open Configuration, identify yourself if requested and enter Integration. Choose POS > Pharmaland. You need access to Configuration; the installation may lock some controls.
- In Transactions, use the button beside the field to select the confirmed folder. This is a folder, not an individual file. This profile does not request an SQL server, port, database username or password.
- Close with X. If changes are pending, Save checks and saves in phases; Continue editing returns to the form and Exit without saving discards pending changes. Read each result: exiting does not undo phases already saved. Continue startup or restart only when the application offers it and the workstation is ready.
What happens to requests
ImaCash reads the folder’s .txt files and removes them after reading, even if no usable request is obtained. The resynchronisation date does not limit this reading. A received row does not prove payment; do not restore consumed files or copy historical requests for testing.
Responses and checking the result
When reporting a result, the connector attempts to write .OK with the requested, paid and returned amounts, or .KO if the received result is marked as cancelled. Rejecting a request does not itself create this response. Also check that Pharmaland has processed it: the file does not prove physical cash delivery.
The connection indicator does not check whether the folder exists, is accessible or uses the correct format. During commissioning, the installer must compare the request, response and result in both programs. For an uncertain operation, check the POS and machine before repeating, restarting or reintroducing files.
With Accept cards disabled, requests marked as cash are received; enabling it also admits other methods sent by the POS. This does not authorise a card or prove a bank transaction. Confirm supported methods and operations with the supplier; this profile does not provide a product catalogue, stock, shifts or bank total. Saved configuration does not physically validate the installation.
