8.6.6 (January 12, 2024)

Pro & Back Office

Fixed

  • Mid-release 01/18/24: Fixed issue where refunding check media only would cause check media totals to get out-of-balance.
  • Fixed multiple Subtotal groups appearing when cashier accidentally tries to Void a Food Service Item. This could cause an imbalance between sales and media totals. Food Service Items should be altered/voided using the Modify Item screen function, and not Void/Void (Preserve).
  • Fixed Modify Item screen function for Food Service Items. Screen touch was not registering but now does.
  • Fixed Manufacturer Discounts (1-3) screen function button not allowing screen touch after invoking function.
  • Fixed incorrect Margin/Markup values when adjusting both the Cost and Price of Family items using Everyday Pricing task.

8.6.5 (January 10, 2024)

Pro & Back Office

Fixed

  • When partial tendering in the POS, pressing Subtotal post-tender now displays the amount due less payments already made.
  • Fixed an issue during Voids after Subtotal Discount that would cause multiple Subtotal group texts to appear onscreen. This in turn would cause Media and Sales totals to mismatch. The customer was always charged correctly.
  • Fixed an issue with Void (Preserve) that would not allow multiple Voids of the same Product.

RF Server

This version may require you to make a change to the LCD Settings on your RF Terminal. After installation, start the RF Server and RF Terminal. Follow the instructions on the RF Server screen to disable the legacy 4-line LCD mode.

New

  • Added support for Bluetooth mobile label printers. Requires a refit of the current RF Terminal to add the Bluetooth module. Contact us for details.

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue with RF Terminal/Base Station losing connection to the RF Server (Host). This occurred during rapid-fire scans that were faster than the host could accommodate. Changed settings to allow for faster scans without losing connection to the host.

8.6.1 (November 28, 2023)

Pro & Back Office

New

Enhanced

  • The data import utility throughout the software has been vastly improved for faster speed.
  • Customers using Datacap’s EasyCheckout (for Ingenico devices) now have a 30 second timeout while waiting for card input. In the past, there was no timeout, which caused the illusion of being “hung”. Now, when the cashier tries to process a card payment, the device will wait 30 seconds for the card tap/swipe/chip. If not received in that time a timeout message will appear and the cashier can give additional time by pressing “Payment Terminal” again.
  • The Loyalty Program option to issue a gift card for a customer reward has been enhanced to support EMV devices.
  • Added the ability to Markup from Retail by Percentage, when using the Pricing Wizard. This applies to Everyday and Sale Pricing.

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue from version 8.6.0 that did not clear the POS keyboard/scanner buffer completely.
  • Fixed an issue that would cause loading of the Sample database to fail.
  • The POS Find search dialog has been fixed and no longer returns an account/item if there was no match found during the search.
  • The Department Default setting for Taxes is now correctly displaying the tax choices.
  • The Customer History report was not able to distinguish between customer purchases if the transaction number repeated or was reset. The report has been fixed and beginning with this version will work correctly. However, all historical data cannot be displayed – only data saved with this version and higher. Therefore, to get historical data navigate to Data > Inventory > Customer and click the History button.
  • Support for the Digital Persona U.are.U fingerprint readers has been removed due to compatibility issues with Windows 10/11.

8.5.36 (July 19, 2023)

Pro & Back Office

Enhanced

  • Improved the loading of the application and POS, when offline (no internet).
  • Improved the routines handling connecting to the cloud database servers, removing the need to ping the servers. This will help with clients who have issues or blocks on ping from their ISP.
  • Added support for Blue Law local files, so that they could be implemented even if offline.

Fixed

  • Fixed issue with Fuel sales not incrementing the line number on the POS screen, which caused issues with Voids.
  • Fixed the FTP Site local file deletion, when only a single FTP site existed in the database and was subsequently deleted.
  • Fixed an offline error that might occur if the client was a subscriber to the eGrowcery Exchange addon module, and there was a loss of internet service.
  • Fixed the POS status bar not displaying the date & time on smaller screens.

8.5.35 (July 11, 2023)

Pro & Back Office

New

  • Added new EasyCheckout recovery routines
    • Informative messages when the payment device has become disconnected. This typically happens when the cable connected to the head unit of the Ingenico payment terminals is loose – allowing for power but not connectivity.
    • If StoreTender is shut down or crashes while processing a transaction, a better routine will restart NETePay and EasyCheckout.
    • If the cable to the device is not reconnected, StoreTender will disable the payment terminal until the cable is reseated and the POS is restarted.
  • Added support for Blue Law item sale restrictions. Blue Laws are regulations that limit the sale of certain items to certain days or times, such as alcohol.
    • This is a Department setting, found at Data > Inventory > Departments.
    • These settings are Store independent. If you are in a multi-store environment, you must make the settings change on the Department screen using Back Office or Pro. You cannot set Blue Laws via HQ.
    • You can either set the times allowed to sell, or the times to prohibit sales. The only caveat is that you cannot span days of the week. So, for example, if alcohol sales are prohibited daily from 11 pm until 6 am, that spans two days. Therefore, you would enter the times that sales are allowed instead (6 am to 11 pm), and select ‘Allow’ instead of ‘Prohibit’.

Enhanced

  • Within Point of Sale, the bottom status bar now shows the Store Number, next to the Register Number.
  • For Signs (Tasks > Labeling > Signs), a PLU barcode has been added to the bottom right of all signs. If you need signs to print the Vendor Item Number barcode instead, contact us for instructions.

HQ

Enhanced

  • When adding a Scheduled Report in HQ and selecting All Stores, the Sales Summary Report (Emailed) will now be separated by store, followed by a single consolidated report.

Fixed

  • Fixed an error when running the 13-month Movement Report.

New

  • Added new Opening Cash Drawer declaration screen function and preferences. To learn more, see Setting Opening Amounts knowledgebase article.

Enhanced

  • When issuing multiple gift cards in a single transaction the activation screen now shows “Card number x of x”, to assist the cashier.

Fixed

  • Fixed problems when issuing multiple gift cards in a transaction, and then pressing the Cancel button on the payment device. Now, if the Cancel button is pressed, the loop for issuing further gift cards is cancelled. Any remaining unsold gift cards can then be sold again in the same transaction.
  • The scanner-scale (if attached) would not reactivate after issuing or reloading a gift card, but now does.
  • Fixed an issue with making data changes when the user’s name contained an apostrophe.
  • When a Fuel Sale was made after the subtotal button was pressed, the screen & receipt did not display the gallons sold or the price per gallon.
  • Price Formula option #2 (percentage off for multiples of an item) was not properly calculating the discount.
  • The Quantity field in Price Formula option #7 (Scan Data customers only) has been modified to suppress entries greater than ‘3’. This is in compliance with the multi-pack quantities eligible for discounts via Scan Data.
  • The POS “Tips (Out)” screen function was not opening the cash drawer, as it should.
