How to find your version:

Open gpPOS and look at thescreen header.

 

As you see this showsversion 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 printbarcode labels for.  You are nolonger restricted to printing one item number at a time.  You can also build this list over several sessions, savingyour 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 filecart2.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 Securitylevels in setup- Entry to gpManage requires level 3, System Setup - Systemrequires level 4, Gift Certificate setup requires        level 4, and ALL Financial reports require level 4.

 

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

Version 1.0.7.4

Version 1.0.7.5

•         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.

•          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 systemsetup.

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

 

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

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

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

•         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.
