GreenKeeper Pro changes and enhancement since the spring 2004 release.

Many of you upgraded last year, however through the year we were striving to make GreenKeeper a better program for you. With that in mined we thought that we should let you know some of the major changes that have taken place since the early spring 2004 release of version 1.0.7.1. We also are including a recap of what was in version 1.0.7.1 for those of you with an earlier version.

How to find your version:

Open gpPOS and look at the screen header.

As you see this shows version 1.0.8.1.

Version Release 1.0.7.1 Early Spring Version

Added ability to calculate GT or not for daily report in POS. Selection is made under "System" then System tab in gpManage. This will reduce daily report wait time for people with a large amount of data in their "media.dbf" tables.

Added ability to create a table for labels allowing barcodes of multiple items to be printed in batch format.

This allows you to create a list(table) of items to print barcode labels for. You are no longer restricted to printing one item number at a time. You can also build this list over several sessions, saving your list in between.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.0.7.2

Set Customer charge invoice to work with Columbia double window envelope. The Invoice or House Charge statement can be folded to allow the address and return address will show through the windows of the Columbia col65 No. 9 envelope.

Added text file print capabilities to the special/Custom Print feature. This is assignable to each plu in product setup. Simply create a text file and set message1 to the file name. Used for cart disclaimer etc.

This will print the text file cart2.txt every time the plu is sold.

Added Pccharge integration.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.0.7.3

Added to gpManage Setup-Products-Product Listing Reports ..."Sales Onhand Report". This report will show a report listing PLU's with current Onhand and Quantity sales for a date range. This will assist in reordering.

Security requirements added to gpManage. Minimum requirements:

If set for Cashier Security levels in setup- Entry to gpManage requires level 3, System Setup - System requires level 4, Gift Certificate setup requires level 4, and ALL Financial reports require level 4.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.0.7.4

Added show customer information to Pass card Scanning. If toggled on in System, System Setup. Now when pass card is scanned the customer information screen will show.
Added Date and Time when printing a text file from special print (print file).
Increased control sizes for numeric input screen and open price screen. Larger buttons are easier for the cashier to operate via touch screen.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.0.7.5

Switched from ad comport to tcomport for display out put. There were still problems with IE conflicting with the COM port GreenKeeper opened for the display output.
Display now runs from datamodule1, opens on POS start. Closes on exit from POS.
Moved initialization variable, active form, from paint of screen (POS) to creation. This caused a problem with display output and the closing of the preset screen that was open at the time of minimizing or "covering" of the POS screen. The program would be given the wrong active form designation thus it would not close the proper preset screen.
Changed the credit card screen. It will now close automatically if the card processed is captured via Pccharge. The processing screen will stay active if there is an error allowing the operator (cashier) to see what caused the error.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.0.7.6

"Date of Report" labels were not showing for Category and Group reports in POS-fixed.
Refund of a $ discounted item was not allowed - error message that discount was greater than the item total - modified to now recognize that the item is a refund item and will now allow the discount to show the proper item net.
Modified package redemption to check if this package type has been sold within current sale to disallow over use of the package.
Increased size of gpManage screen.
Added bonus point accumulation system. This will accumulate points for each item sold. There is NO redemption. The point accumulation is based on the point value given to each plu in the product file. If selected this will replace the bonus dollar system.

Added Invoice System.

Select Invoice as the charge system in gpManage system setup.

When you finalize a sale for a charge customer you will use the “Finalize as Invoice” button on the finalization screen. Remember that the customer MUST be designated as a charge customer in customer setup.

When you make a payment on an invoice you will use the special tab and choose “Payment on Invoice”

The payment screen will show and you will be able to pay the full amount or make a partial payment against an invoice.

If the customer sends you a check that is more than the total they owe, you will be able to “overpay” then batch of invoices and create a credit invoice that the customer can then use against future invoices.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.0.7.7

· Added Process internally for Pccharge. Some processors would allow Pccharge to internally process a credit and then return 'PROCESSED' rather than 'CAPTURED'. Modified to allow the completion of the sale under the correct credit card type in GreenKeeper.

· Added ability to lock out Price Level change.

· Bonus Point Utility requires level 5. Higher security level was set on the bonus point editing utility.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.0.7.8

· Added ability to print extra receipt for House or Invoice. Selecting 0 Receipts will now print 1 receipt for customer signature, any other selection will add 1 extra receipt.

· Added customer signature line to House and Invoice receipts.

Added Sale Balance Due to Gift Certificate selection screen when tending a certificate

· Pos will now NOT allow default cashier. If wrong password entered 3 times POS will close.

Version 1.0.7.9

Removed negative payment for invoice on negative invoice if refunded.
Modified Customer bonus point listing as SQL, which now allows order by bonus points from lowest to highest.
Customer setup screen - Credit balance requires level 5 to modify.

Added ability to set the maximum bonus point redemption per sale. If set to 0.00 then no limit else set to the limit wanted.

In Customer setup if you delete a customer, the bonus point file record for that customer is also now deleted. --- For versions before 1079 you need to use the bonus utility to erase the record for the deleted customer.
Added ability to select detailed discount status for items on receipt. This is selectable in system setup under the system tab.

Added ability to multi-select items for discount under "%Item Disc". This will allow several items to be selected to discount. This REQUIRES the use of the keyboard; it requires you to hold the “shift” button while selecting the items.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.0.8.0

Added description header for sale table DISC field.

Added "Last Date" for customer activity tracking. When customer is looked up then date is entered into Last date field.
Last activity date now listed on Customer Info Screen.

Member checkbox added to "Add Customer", also shows on Customer Info Screen.
Added ability to print a text message on invoices. Create invoice.txt and put it in the GreenKeeper director and the message will print on each invoice. Remove the invoice.txt file when you do not want a message printed.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.0.8.1

All receipts buffered. You can get a re-print even if a receipt is printed at the time of sale. It used to be restricted to print the buffered receipt only if receipt set to zero at finalization of sale.
Added signature line to credit card receipts, so you are not required to have Pccharge print the signature receipt.
Added add new customer to the customer lookup screen. This will allow the cashier to type in the name of a customer and if their name is not in the system the cashier can transfer the name typed in to the add new customer screen. This stops the double entry of the customers name if they are not in the system already.

New Features scheduled for release for 3/1/2005

Tee Master interface

For 2005 we plan to have an interface with Tee Master. The interface will allow you to go to the Tee Master tee sheet from GreenKeeper Pro.

When you check in a customer you will then click on “Log Customer in POS” this will take the customer name from Tee Master and automatically try to look up that customer name in GreenKeeper. If the Name is found it will be selected in the customer lookup form and you can simply press “OK’ to log the customer into the POS, and the continue with the sale. If the customer is NOT in your system you can choose to add them from the lookup screen.

If you choose not to add the customer to your system you simply press, “Cancel” and the default cash customer will be logged into GreenKeeper.
