Drop 69

March 4, 2024

πŸ”‘ Drop notes structure
Categories & sections

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.

Order by impactfulness

Within each category, entries are listed in a way we think are most impactful to least.

No change = No notes

In some instances, a drop may include no changes for certain Apps, categories, or sections. In such cases, the corresponding part will not be shown in the notes.

Categories impacted by this drop

Docs - Apps - POS - Tasks App - Checkout App - Loyalty App - CFD - Companion - Compliance - Control room - Finance - Orders - Organizations - People - PIM - Promotions - Stock - Tasks

Apps‍

πŸ”§ Fixed​

Expand to see fix(es)
  • Fixed an issue where some users were continuously prompted with a request to input PIN, followed by a request to restart the App. This process took users through the login and configure PIN flows.
  • The Application page in the Suite App will no longer appear to allow the editing of the Configured URL field for the Watchtower.

POS 2.106.x‍

πŸ†• Added​

Only display stores with product and quantity in stock ​

We've introduced a new App Setting App:PickupAvailability:IncludeOrganizationUnitsWithoutStock. When selecting a pickup point for reserve orders, if set to true or left unset, all stores, including those without stock, will be displayed. Otherwise, if set to false, only the stores with stock and available quantities will be shown.

βœ… Improved​

It is now possible to print RMA invoices for RMA orders, providing an overview of products and quantities requested by the store.

Return order improvements ​

If an order contains return order lines, POS will not allow users to change the line action type from Carry out to any other types.

Additionally, POS will display the return label on the order line in red, as well as display the line action type on every order line.

Return in local mode ​

Previously, in Local Mode, we removed the Return button in the Basket. In order to maintain consistency, we have now also removed the Return button on the product detail page for processing order line returns.

Hide transfer orders ​

With the new setting App:Orders:HideTransferOrders, we are introducing a new filter to Search orders. When set to true, we filter out the internal transfer orders by default. When set to false or unset, we don't filter out transfer orders.

Ignore input when unchecked ​

The Confirm button will now be disabled only if the email address is invalid and either the Email invoice or Email receipt box is checked. The Confirm button will be enabled for unchecked checkboxes.

Block resubscription and unsubscription ​

When displaying customer subscriptions, POS will now filter out subscriptions for which the user was once subscribed but cannot resubscribe.

You can block users from unsubscribing altogether when the IsUnsubscribeAllowed property from GetUserSubscriptions is set to false.

EVA Pay Local QR on Terminal ​

When POS is in Local Mode, it is now possible to display the EVA Pay Local QR code on the terminal.

When the setting App:Payment:ShowQROnTerminal is set to true, and the current station does not have a CFD, the QR code will be displayed on the terminal.

Selling giftcards with only an e-mail ​

When selling giftcards through POS, employees now have the option to add only an email address to the order instead of attaching a customer.

Disable returns for users without permissions ​

When a user doesn't have permissions for returns, we now display text to inform them that they aren't authorized to do so.

Employee SSO login ​

From now on, the only SSO options shown at login are those that apply to employees.

Prevent lock screen during interaction ​

Where there is input from CFD, for example, a customer using it to fill out data, POS will no longer lock its screen based on the App:Session:LockTimeout setting.

Add to basket disabled until variant selected ​

To avoid confusion, the Add to basket button will be disabled for configurable products until a variant has been selected.

Support for PDF417 and Aztec 2D for Scandit scanner ​

POS now supports the PDF417 and Aztec 2D codes format for the Scandit scanner. These are mainly used in travel documents, such as boarding passes.

In order for these to be active, your Scandit LicenseKey key needs to include them, and the formats need to be added to the existing App:Scanner:SupportedSymbologies setting. Take note that if these do not match, the scanner will not function.

Submitting empty dates when creating or editing customers ​

POS will now allow users to submit empty values for Date and DateTime fields when creating or editing a customer.

New icon for giftcards ​

A new icon has been implemented for giftcards to bring clarity during checkout when applying payment methods.

ZReports ​

As announced in the EVA Core drop 2.0.725 we've made the necessary changes for printing a ZReport from within the POS.

As such, the Reports button was renamed to X/Z Reports.

Remove Warehouse stock from Stores near by tab ​

We've removed the Warehouse line from the Stores near by tab on the product detail page.

πŸ”§ Fixed​

Expand to see fix(es)
  • Fixed an issue where custom fields were not displayed for customer cases.
  • Fixed an issue where cases were not displayed upon revisiting customer cases.

Tasks App 1.80.x‍

βœ… Improved​

Full stock counts​

We've made several improvements to full stock counts, of which some are UI changes but some are functional.

Details

Instead of a full-screen scanner, we now display it in a smaller form, which will in turn offer more room for:

  • a Previously counted section;
  • Last counted section;
  • an Add manually button, which replaces the 'looking glass' icon.

Furthermore, when leaving the task, you will now be offered the option to save your progress. Progress will be saved automatically if the App is exited. Both allow you to continue where you left off when opening the task again.

Cycle count visibility​

There are two kinds of tasks when it comes to cycle counting: the actual counting and the confirmation of the task.

Now instead of just displaying an empty Confirmation task screen - which might be confusing, users without the necessary permission (ExecuteZonedCycleCounts) will no longer see the task at all.

Runner tasks​

We've made some slight improvements to the creation of Runner tasks: when creating one for a configurable product, the Add button will now be disabled until you've gone through both Color and Size specifications (if applicable).

Receive goods​

We have made several changes to improve on the UI and the flow of Receive goods tasks.

Details
  • On the Tasks App home screen
    • We now use the ShipmentBackendID instead of the TaskID as visual identifier for Receive goods tasks.
  • Receive Goods task overview screen
    • We've introduced the ShipmentBackendID (PackslipID) field;
    • The accompanying text for a detailed inspection will change based on wether a count has started (so either "Start detailed inspection" or "Continue detailed inspection");
    • Replaced the 'checkmark' icon with a Proceed button (to indicate there is a next step / you don't complete and close the task by clicking this).
  • Detailed inspection scanner
    • This used to be a full-screen view, where only your last-scanned item was visible (instead of a list of counted items);
    • Instead, we now display a half-screen scanner, showing your count history;
    • The item scanned last will feature a quantity selector;
    • Take note that you can also manually change the count on the Product detail page.

Additionally, we're updating the flow based on the value of the ReceiveMethod setting.

  • ReceiveMethod setting behaviour
    • When ReceiveMethod is set to Manual, the Proceed button is greyed out until inspection has started;
    • When ReceiveMethod is set to Automatic (and Unified orders is enabled), the detailed inspection link will not show;
    • When ReceiveMethod is set to UserDefined, the Proceed button is available to fully receive the shipment without scanning, while the inspection link is available in case you want to count the shipment.

Supported symbologies in Scanner​

To support specific situations requiring other symbologies, such as scanning boarding passes, the Scandit scanner can now make use of the following symbologies: aztec and pdf417.

Details

First ensure your Scandit license includes the use of the new aztec and pdf417 symbologies. Once it does, you can include them in the App setting App:Scanner:SupportedSymbologies. Take note that setting's values must match what's included in your license, or the scanner will not work properly.

πŸ”§ Fixed​

Expand to see fix(es)
  • Fixed an issue where an error message contained a visible line break.
  • Fixed an issue where the deadline value was displayed incorrectly.
  • Fixed an issue where the Logistics module would be hidden when there were no active tasks.

Checkout App 1.80.x‍

βœ… Improved​

Partial payments and refunds with Tap2Pay ​

With the new setting App:TapToPay:AllowPartialPayment, we now allow partial payments and refunds to be made using Tap to Pay. When set to true, orders can be partially paid and refunded using Tap to Pay. When unset, or set to false, this will not be possible.

Hide transfer orders ​

Like in POS, with the new setting App:Orders:HideTransferOrders, we are introducing a new filter to Search. When set to true, internal transfer orders are filtered out by default. When set to false or unset, we do not filter out transfer orders.

View SoldBy employee ​

For employees with the Employees functionality and the View option checked, if the SoldBy checkout option is also enabled, employees can see the SoldBy line and the associated user, essentially identifying who made the sale.

Startup screen ​

A startup screen is now implemented for the Checkout App, letting the users know that it's still loading. A progress bar is shown, and if there are any connectivity issues during this, the user will be informed.

Employee SSO login ​

From now on, the only SSO options shown at login are those that apply to employees.

Disable adding customers non-sales order ​

For Return to Supplier or Interstore orders, the 'Add customer' button will no longer be displayed. The button will only be visible for sales orders.

Selling giftcards with only an e-mail ​

When selling giftcards through the Checkout App, employees now have the option to add only an email address to the order instead of a customer.

Disable returns for users without permissions ​

When a user doesn't have permissions for returns, we now display text to inform them that they aren't authorized to do so.

For Return to Supplier orders, we have now introduced the option to print and reprint Return to Supplier receipts.

Prevent accidental customer removal ​

When tapping on the 'customers' icon in your basket, with a customer already attached, the Customer details modal opens to display a Remove customer from order button.

By adding this extra step, it helps prevent accidental customer removal.

When you add a customer to the order, a toaster notification is displayed, confirming that they have been added to the order

ThermalPaymentProof ​

Thermal Payment Proof is no longer in use, and it will no longer be possible to print.

πŸ”§ Fixed​

Expand to see fix(es)
  • Fixed an issue where, when scanning a completed or open order via Orders, a success scanning sound was heard, but no match was displayed.

Loyalty App 1.80.x‍

πŸ†• Added​

Add to order button​

From the Customer details page, the option to add the open customer/user to a basket on the Checkout App is now available.

πŸ”§ Fixed​

Expand to see fix(es)
  • Fixed an issue where the custom field barcode identifier was being based on the Backend ID rather than on the value of the custom field.
  • Fixed an issue where the create customer flow did not adhere to the value of the setting App:Customer:AccountType. More about this setting can be found here.

CFD 2.26.x‍

βœ… Improved​

Display first name only on CFD ​

For privacy reasons, when searching for a customer, scanning a customer card from the CFD, or adding a customer from POS, the customer information displayed on CFD will show only the first name.

Block resubscription and unsubscription ​

Like in POS, when displaying customer subscriptions, CFD will now filter out subscriptions for which the user was once subscribed but cannot resubscribe.

You can block users from unsubscribing altogether when the IsUnsubscribeAllowed property from GetUserSubscriptions is set to false.

Prevent lock screen during interaction ​

Where there is input from CFD, for example, a customer using it to fill out data, POS will no longer lock its screen based on the App:Session:LockTimeout setting.

πŸ”§ Fixed​

Expand to see fix(es)
  • Fixed an issue where the Debug View could no longer be opened.
  • Fixed an issue where CFD would crash when camera permissions were not allowed.

Companion 1.56.x‍

βœ… Improved​

Add to bundle or as a separate product ​

When scanning a product that is part of a bundle, a new modal has been implemented. You can now decide whether to add it to the bundle or as a separate product on its own order line.

πŸ”§ Fixed​

Expand to see fix(es)
  • Fixed an issue where the Add product to bundle modal would appear for products that are not part of a bundle.

Admin Suite 0.38.x‍

βœ… Improved​

The "Delete modal" across various chapters of Admin Suite is now consistent in terms of UI and the "Are you sure" delete warning (no features impacted as a result of this UI update).
