The drop notes follow a categorized structure, beginning with Docs to highlight newly added documentation pages. Next, you'll find general changes affecting multiple Apps, succeeded by specific changes for each App individually (e.g., Checkout, Loyalty, Tasks, CFD, etc.). Following this, there's an alphabetical categorization in line with the modules and chapters available in Admin Suite (e.g., Control room, Financials, Orders, etc.).

Each category contains 3 sections: Added, listing any new features or functionalities; Improved, listing any changes made to an existing feature or functionality; and Fixed, listing any bug fixes addressed.

Apps‍

🆕 Added​

App setting for translatable titles for variations ​

For Checkout App and POS, when the new App Setting App:ConfigurableProduct:LegacyMode is set to true, we look at the logical level and display translatable titles for color and size variations. If the setting is either unset or set to false, or if it pertains to variations outside of color and size, we will instead show the value from the ConfigurableProperty.

🔧 Fixed​

Expand to see fix(es)
  • Fixed an issue within the Suite Apps where, when switching environments in one of the three logged-in apps, the others failed to switch accordingly. Instead, they were redirected to the setup page.
  • Fixed an issue within Checkout App and POS where prices were shown as "NaN" when missing a display price. Now, "Price not set" will be displayed in its place.

POS 2.104.x‍

🆕 Added​

Display distance in miles​

You can now display the distance between stores in miles on the Stores nearby tab. When the new App Setting App:DistanceUnit:ShowMiles is set to true, the unit here will be displayed in miles. Otherwise, it defaults to false and displays in kilometers.

✅ Improved​

Local mode modal design improvements​

A new design has been implemented for the Local mode modal.

Expand to see scenarios

In the following scenarios, the modal appears:

  • On unsupported pages on POS, the modal shows up and redirects the employee to the basket.
  • On supported pages on POS, the modal shows up and allows the employee to continue on the current page.
  • When transitioning from Local mode to EVA Cloud and returning back to Local mode, the modal reappears.

You can find the list of unsupported and supported pages here.

EVA Pay in Local mode instructions​

In instances where offline payments need to be made in Local mode, a new modal has been introduced to guide employees on navigating EVA Pay.

Expand to see details

The new modal displays the following tabs:

  • Information tab: Provide details on how to use it
  • Enter code tab: Allows entry of the payment confirmation code received from the customer.
  • Scan QR tab: Permits scanning of the payment confirmation QR received from the customer.
  • Show QR tab: Display the same QR found on the CFD or Terminal on POS.

Apply return reason for gifted products​

Previously, despite checking Use answers for all return products, POS did not apply the return reason and stock location for gifted products. Now, when checked, POS applies the same reason and location for gifted products as it does for regular products.

Unconnected CFD message​

If a CFD had been previously configured for a station but is currently unpaired or unavailable, a message is displayed at the top of the basket, redirecting users to set up their CFD.

Reminder to close financial period​

After closing all the cash drawers and stations, POS will display a pop-up to remind employees to close the current financial period.

Previously, a pop-up was displayed directly after opening the financial period, prompting users to close said period before they got a chance to open the cash drawers and stations.

Support for e-mailing receipts​

Thanks to backend improvements, POS now supports emailing receipts after completing an order.

Highlight product with requirements in bundle​

When configuring product bundles with custom requirements, the order line will be highlighted in red, and a red line of text will be displayed beneath the field, indicating that there is a requirement.

Base search results on selected country​

POS will autocomplete the address search with results based on the country of the shipping/billing address. This applies even when you select a country that is not the OU country.

Custom fields updating after saving​

Previously, when employees removed product requirements from the basket and pressed the Update in basket button, the removed values would remain. Now, upon removing the values and updating the basket, the field will be correctly left empty.

Cash drawer amount warning​

With the new App Setting App:Checkout:ValidateCashDrawerAmount, you can decide whether it's possible to refund a higher amount in cash than what is currently available in the cash drawer.

When this setting is set to true, you won't be able to refund an amount higher than what is inside the cash drawer. When it is unset or set to false, it will be possible to refund even without enough cash.

Check Mark as Pending by default​

When the new App Setting App:BankDeposits:DefaultPending is set to true, the Mark as Pending box for cash deposits will be checked by default. Otherwise, when unset or set to false, this will not be checked.

This helps prevent human errors while awaiting the deposit to be physically taken to the bank.

Improved VAT-number validation message​

Previously, during checkout, when you add your tax registration number, you received one-word responses indicating the outcome. We have now introduced new messages to convey possible responses, offering greater clarity for store associates.

Bundle configuration word choice​

When first configuring a bundle, POS will now display the Add bundle to basket button. The Update bundle configuration button will only be displayed when reconfiguring a bundle.

Previously, the Update bundle configuration button was used in both scenarios.

POS behavior when CFD is in passive mode​

We previously introduced passive mode to the CFD, we've since made improvements to how POS interacts with it. When App:CFD:IsPassive is set to true, neither the Search on CFD nor Onboarding button is displayed.

🔧 Fixed​

Expand to see fix(es)
  • Fixed an issue where, after canceling the payment on POS, the EVA Pay QR still remained visible on the CFD.
  • Fixed an issue where the return reason was not mandatory when creating a return.
  • Fixed an issue where POS displayed the incorrect amount of quantity available.

Tasks App 1.78.x‍

✅ Improved​

Total unique products in Received goods​

The Received goods task will now display "Total unique products" instead of "Total products", for increased clarity.

Sorting of expected goods based on expected delivery date​

The overview of Expected goods in the Receive goods chapter now sorts the expected deliveries based on their expected delivery date, instead of their creation time.

The closest date will be displayed on top, which should make it a little easier to plan ahead for receiving the deliveries in stores.

Create FSC button visibility​

The Full Stock Count option in the New Task section will no longer be shown for employees without the necessary Create scope for the functionality.

Display product requirements on children​

The Pack-step of a Ship from Store, Reservation and Click & Collect flow will now clearly display all product requirements on child lines, instead of just the ones on parent lines.

'Jumping' lines when picking​

The order of the lines to pick in a Ship from Store Pick-task will no longer change when picking items with multiple quantities.

Checkout App 1.78.x‍

🆕 Added​

New setting to hide possible discounts​

With the new App Setting App:Search:ShowDiscounts, you can now choose whether to hide possible discounts in the product search view. When set to true, we display all the potential discounts; otherwise, it defaults to false, and they're hidden.

Support for e-mailing receipts​

Thanks to backend improvements, Checkout App now supports emailing receipts after completing an order.

✅ Improved​

Display quantity in store​

When selecting products with variations, the quantity displayed can be either the internal stock or the delivery stock, depending on the product status.

If the product status is DisableDelivery, the internal stock quantity is shown. However, if the statuses are DeliveryOnly or DisablePickup, then the delivery stock quantity is displayed. If neither is indicated, both quantities are shown.

External Stock view improvements​

We've made several improvements to the External Stock modal on the product detail page.

Expand to see improvements
  • If a product has no internal or external stock, neither results nor the View Map button will be displayed and vice versa.
  • In case a product has no internal or external stock, the search bar will not be available in the modal and vice versa.
  • If a product has stock only in the current store, only the store and its corresponding stock amount will be displayed.
  • The modal will prioritize the current store over others based on distance.
  • For configurable products, stores and stock amounts are displayed based on the selected variation.

Filter based on variations​

For products with variations, you can now apply a filter for specific variants (i.e. large, relaxed, slim) directly from the product detail page. This functionality, which was previously available on other Suite Apps, has now been extended to the Checkout App.

Display discount amount​

After applying a discount, the order line now displays the discounted amount from the original price (numerical figures), and the respective reason when applicable.

Display X/Y size in a grid​

For products with X/Y dimensions, the sizes are now displayed in grid view.

Sizes with stock availability are highlighted in blue, while unavailable sizes are greyed out. Once a size combination has been selected, the stock quantity is then updated.

Unable to detach customer from return order toaster​

The Checkout App now displays a toaster when attempting to remove a customer from a return order, providing information on why the removal was not possible.

Reprint thermal receipt​

You can now reprint thermal receipts directly from the order detail page, accessible via the 'documents' icon in the top right corner. Previously, this functionality was only available in the Print Order Documents modal.

New property on Contentful for subscriptions​

In Contentful, the possibility to add a new property in your CountrySettings for a subscription is now possible. This can be used to display certain text (example: a privacy policy) that would then be displayed on the CFD during a customers subscription flow.

CFD idle mode behavior​

To address instances of any in-store internet outages, and no Watchtower is available to fall back on, if no updates are received from POS/Sales App for 2 minutes, CFD will enter idle mode.

✅ Improved​

Close debug mode​

In order to make it easier for store employees to exit debug mode on CFD, we have introduced an 'X' close button.

Display markdown percentage​

In scenarios where a Sale price Pricelist applies, the CFD will now display the discount on the orderline in percentage value as well. Previously, the CFD would only show the from and to price of the orderline in numerical figures.

🇵🇱 Poland

Anonymous receipt print upgrade to invoice (behavior)​

When an anonymous order is placed, an automatic non-fiscal part is included in the issued fiscal receipt (Paragon Fiskalny). E-mailing an invoice becomes available however, once a customer is attached. In such scenario, the Paragon Fiskalny will be upgraded to a PDF invoice and will bear a new invoice number. The invoice number will reference the original Paragon Fiskalny number. Previously, the issued PDF invoice did not reference the fiscal receipt (Paragon Fiskalny) number.

To turn on this referencing behavior, the setting Auditing:UseInvoiceCloning needs to be set to true.

🇪🇸 Spain

✅ Improved​

Unique invoice numbers​

Invoice numbers in Spain are now computed as follows: OU ID-Document type / Sequence number. Previously, invoice numbers were computed as Document type / Sequence number hence, challenging its uniqueness aspect. Further, in return scenarios an order with FS (Factura Simplificada) will bear an ID-Document type of "FRS" (Factura Rectificada Simplificada), while an order with FS (Factura) will bear an ID-Document type of FR (Factura Rectificada).

Canary island invoice & receipt improvements​

PDF invoice: With reference to Canary island implementation, PDF invoices will no longer display the text "Commerciante Minorista". As for receipts, the receipts will now adhere to the region selection made on the Spanish organization unit, if Canary Islands was selected the receipt will display "IGIC" tax rate, if not "IVA" will be displayed.

🇨🇭 Switzerland

✅ Improved​

Logic for receipt / invoice issuance with incomplete customer data​

Receipt issuance/generation is now permitted when customers with incomplete profile data are added to orders whereas, the customer profile only includes their first name, last name and email address (no billing address available). Previously, such instances blocked receipt &/or invoice generation.

The current logic will allow receipt generation in instances where a customer with an incomplete profile is part of the order. As for the audit file, no customer data will be printed on the receipt hence, the corresponding entry in the audit file will be placed under the header tickets. When the customer does have a billing address specified, an invoice will therefore be created, and the order will appear in the audit file under the header invoices.

Control room‍

🆕 Added​

Authorization via certificate files​

You can now also setup your event exports to authorize by means of certificate files. See Event exports.

Execute scheduled task once​

We've added the ability to execute a task in the Scheduled tasks chapter once, preventing the need to setup a schedule first.
