Migrating to Simca

Because no app is released, nothing can be migrated today. This section is the plan: how a shop would move over, what to prepare, and what to check.

Status

Planned Everything on this page is a plan. The repository contains a catalog and design documents, not a released app. Entries are tagged with their own status.

Questions

Can I import from my current POS?

The catalog lists CSV import and an import wizard from Excel; a specific vendor connector is not promised.

Can I leave later?

Open export is a design principle and catalogued.
