SKU barcode scanning add to cart even if the stock is 0 #74

Using barcode scanning and searching by SKU, the product is automatically added even if the stock is 0.

The POS allows negative stock. I know this is a point of confusion for some users but it is not a bug - there are cases where the cashier may need to sell an item even though the stock is below zero (for example, new stock has arrived but has not been entered into the website).

The product UI will be a focus of version 0.5 and with this update I will include an option show/hide out of stock items.

Any progress on adding out of stock limits to the POS? this is atm a critical limitation to me that completely prevents the use of this plugin for me as i can't have backlog orders in my system.

Would it be possible to make the plugin react to the backorders settings on the product?

Basically, if stock control is on, but backorders are not allowed, then the product can't be purchased. But if it is set to on, then it creates back orders as it does not. If it is then set to notify, it could then let the cashier know that the product isn't in stock, but the product can be ordered.
