    Have you done any programming in the past? If not your taking on a big learning curve but it can be done. First things first you need to define what data is needed and what the format is. Are you going to use barcodes or stock numbers, is inventory an issue, are all items taxable or do you have both taxable and non-taxable, are there different tax rates in your area or multiple tax rates. These are all questions you need to have answered before you start building anything. You will also have to build multiple reports not only for your business but also receipts, Tax reports, etc.

    I would start off with building a mind map of the entire process for your business because if you approach it on a build the cash register only you are going to find that it doesn't cover everything you need. Find a good book or paper on business analysis and define your processes. This will further define the data you will need for your project.
