New Features and Enhancements

  • The system now supports Regional Pricing. This can be configured under the Location setup. By default, all locations will belong to the same Pricing Group. Creating a new pricing group will clone the locations old pricing group prices and costs to the new pricing group so there are initial prices and costs. If Regional Pricing is enabled, the Manage Products page will also say Regional Pricing instead of Pricing above where the pricing is set.
  • The sales screen now has a smart search so you can search on Barcode, Sku, or Description. By default, the search will default to barcode as that is the fastest search method and also allows for prefixing a qty and * to denote multiple.
  • Promotions have been added to the POS. They can be configured under Products and currently support Amount Off, Percent Off, and Price options. Amount off will apply a discount in the amount specified. Percent Off will apply a discount in the percent specified. Price will add a discount to the product  to make it's net price equal the price specified. Promotions can be limited by Date Range, if the customer is a New Customer within the last X days, to specific days of the week, by the Customer Group a customer is in, and by location.

Bug Fixes and Minor Enhancements

  • A rounding issue that let transaction totals get off by a penny has been corrected.
  • If a bad report was loaded, all reports would stop loading. Now, only that one report will return an error.
  • Attributes names do not have to be unique anymore.
  • An issue that caused some new records that contained a "," to result in duplicate records getting created has been resolved.
  • There have been a lot of fixes to the Customer Display where it would not be in sync at various times. All of those that we could find have been corrected. In addition, the display should always say Thank You to the customer now at the completion of a transaction. Also, the employees display name is now preceded with "Served by:" for better clarity of the customer.  Lastly, if a product was being sold for more than $999.99, the full price did not fit on the customer display. That has also been fixed.
  • Holds, quotes, and layaways will now display the total instead of sub-total.
  • We have found multiple issues that could result in products on a PO getting doubled. We have fixed each one that we have found.
  • A bug that stopped cost and price from showing in multiple spots through out the POS when the product has no inventory has been corrected. The two most obvious spots this affected where in Manage Products and when receiving a Purchase Order.
  • If a product has never been ordered, the product level auto order flag will now default to true.
  • When a product was added to a receiving that was not on the original order, and the order was Received, the On Order qty would remain as if that product was still on order. This has been corrected, and any existing quantities that where off have been recalculated.
  • There is now a "All" option for Type when viewing the Sales History of a product in Manage Products.
  • If a product in a transaction had 0.00 tax on it, it would incorrectly show the tax Flag with a "N". That flag is now determined by looking at the tax percentage, and not that amount.
  • An issue that prevented the Store Receipt from printing after a layaway payment is made has been corrected.
  • The Invoice History screen would previously not show the correct information when fractional quantities where included on a sale. That has been corrected.
  • Creating a brand associated with a manufacturer at the same time as you are creating a supplier from the ... button in Purchase Orders now works.
  • An issue that prevented the "Update Purchase Information" mass action from being able to save at times has been corrected.
  • Searches for barcodes in the sales screen will no longer return results associated with deleted barcodes.
  • An error that would prevent reprinting receipts from Invoice History at times because of the cashier name has been corrected.
  • Creating an employee with the role of clerk will not include access to the Time Clock application by default.
  • The Manufacturer option under the Products Smart Search now works.
  • There is a new Total on Order field in Manage Purchase Order which will show the total quantity that is On Order, In Receiving, and on the current PO. Purchase Orders that have not been submitted to a Supplier are not considered on order till they are Submitted, and therefore any quantity in those PO's is not included.
