HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13th

While there is evidence of both Friday and the number 13 being considered unlucky, there is no record of the two items being referred to as especially unlucky in conjunction before the 19th century.  

It is possible that the publication in 1907 of T. W. Lawson‘s popular novel Friday, the Thirteenth, contributed to popularising the superstition.  

HEIMDALL UPDATE

TSG will be adding a new Power BI report to Heimdall in the next fortnight, stay tuned for more details next week.

These step-by-step instructions can be accessed under the ‘IT-TIPS’ page on the TSG Website below.

ISSUE WITH SALES DATA SYNCING FOR THE FINAL HOUR OF THE DAY

Some stores have reported that sales data hasn’t been syncing with TSG Servers for the final hour of the day. This often occurs on the last day of the promo period which results in them not getting paid by suppliers for those transactions.
Please see the following reasons and solutions for this issue:

Reasons:

  • Sales data from your POS syncs with TSG Servers once every hour or when you close the POS software, whichever comes sooner.
    If at the end of the day, you Shut Down your computer without closing the POS Software, it will not syncthe remaining data until next morning when you launch the POS again.
  • If the next day is the start of a new promo period, then we will not receive your data for the last hour of the previous day until then and won’t be able to pass it on to the supplier in the required timeframe.

Solution:

Please make sure that at the end of the day, you close the POS Software by clicking on the ‘X’ button as shown below, before you Shut Down your POS computer.
This will force a sync and your final sales data for the day will be sent to TSG.
