POS VERSION UPDATE

We have now completed the roll out of the new POS Update – Version 1.6.34 to all stores. This update includes the following features:

•           Added Extended Sales Detail by User report

•           Fixed time out issue between Main and secondary POS

•           General bug fixes and performance enhancements.

Now that the main POS has been updated to the latest version by the IT Team, you will need to update the software on slave/secondary computers(if any), if you haven’t done so already.

SUB-CATEGORY UPDATES AND A REMINDER TO RUN ‘UPDATE STOCK & PRICES’ FUNCTION

We have updated a number of Sub-category codes on your POS in the last few weeks to make it easier to find products and also to be consistent with their product descriptions.

Promotions on Sub-Category codes have also been amended accordingly to reflect the changes.

For these changes to be implemented on your POS system, please make sure you run the ‘Update Stock and Prices’ function as soon as you get a chance. Failure to run ‘Update Stock & Prices’ on your POS will result in promo price not being applied to the said sub-categories and may render you non-compliant with the Supplier.
