If you have a single store, use the report export function in iMerchant then use the configuration below to automate the task.  Change the DB name and the report # to fit your iMerchant setup.

When emailing reports we have updated the reports to use email settings from parameters when sending export reports via File / Export.  Use the following schedule task to run all reports saved to File / Export when setup.  

Use the settings below to trigger and process updates on your WordPress website via WP All Import.

First create a new task

On the General Tab Enter a descriptive name and confirm the task will run without the user logged on.

Next switch to the Triggers Tab, Click NEW... and setup the scheduling.

Indie Commerce (ABA) accepts a new LSI file every hour max.

Switch to the Actions Tab, Click New...

Update the USER FOR BATCH MODE PROCESSING

Setup the scheduled task to run every Monday morning.

IMImportOfflineSales.exe this one is the one that pushes the offline sales from the PC up to the server (sql or standalone)

IMImportOfflineSales I generally kick off 15 minutes before the IMUpdatePOSServer.

Ideally, import offline sales prior to the system update on the sql or standalone server so they are included automatically in the update process for the entire store data set.

Then, after the IMDbMaintenance.exe has run, then kick off (on the PC) IMUpdatePosServer to pull the latest version of the dataset from the main system onto the offline server(s)

IMUpdatePosServer.exe this one is the one that pulls the offline sales update from the server (sql or standalone) back down to the standalone PC server(s).

IMImportOfflineSales.......... kicks off at 02:30am on the PC; takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

IMDbMaintenance................ kicks off at 03:30am on the sql server, has been running about 15 to 18 minutes, so to be safe, and give it time to complete before the next job, allow about 25 minutes

IMUpdatePosServer............ probably kick this off at 04:00am on the pc

Use the XML files below to IMPORT A TASK into the task scheduler on the Offline POS Server PC. Change the user, permissions and timing as needed.

If you are seeing error messages pop up when running the tasks, confirm your VPN is running.  If it is not running and you try and run the offline update tasks you will see a message like the following pop up each time.
