What's New
Retail
Bottle Deposit is being added as a Product/Item option. Bottle Deposit is a deposit on beverage containers, including those for alcoholic beverages dedicated configuration has been introduced in the Back Office, allowing store administrators to set up and manage bottle deposit rules, including deposit amounts, applicable product categories, and store-level settings. This configuration ensures flexibility and control over how bottle deposits are applied across different store environments. On the POS side, the bottle deposit is now seamlessly integrated into the sales transaction flow. When a bottle deposit-eligible item is added to the cart, the corresponding deposit amount is automatically applied and reflected in the transaction, ensuring accurate billing at the point of sale.
In addition, the necessary report impacts have been addressed as part of this release. The bottle deposit amounts are now captured and represented in the relevant sales and transaction reports, providing clear visibility into deposit collections and supporting accurate end-of-day reconciliation.
The 86 List feature is being added. The 86 List is a centralized inventory control mechanism that allows store administrators to configure and maintain the available count of specific items directly from the Back Office (BO). Once an item is added to the 86 List with a defined quantity, the system actively tracks its availability across the store.
When an item included in the 86 List is sold at any POS terminal, the available count is automatically decremented in real time across all POS terminals within the same store. This ensures that every cashier has an up-to-date view of item availability, regardless of which terminal the sale was processed on.
Once the item count reaches zero, the item is flagged as unavailable, preventing further sales of that item across all POS terminals.
Kiosk
The Half & Half Specialty Pizza feature is being added, which enables customers to select two different flavors for each half of the pizza.
