Details of the Cloud POS release due to go live March 2021

Important background work  

We continue to complete background work to allow us to process more transactions and to grow our capabilities alongside our retailers growth.

Commission 

You can now calculate commission directly in Cloud POS. There are 2 types of Commission supported, Value based and Percentage based. These can be set against Items specifically or against an entire Category. The Item Detail Wizard has been updated to allow the setting of commission values against items and a new Wizard to manage Commission set against Categories has been created. We also support the blocking of commission being earned.

An update to Cloud Reports is planned to add the commission information onto the Sales Rep Report. 

Cancelling Pending Wizards **Requested by users via our Feedback Forum** 

There is now the option to cancel pending Wizards. Values will be reverted for any records which have already been processed at the time of cancellation.

Advanced Item Search**Requested by users via our Feedback Forum** 

We have listened to your feedback and have added an Advanced Item Search. This allows the frequently requested option to sort and filter by stock levels. Column Select is also available on this page, giving you more options for filtering your item searches. 

Note: With added functionality comes a sacrifice with speed. That is why we have added this as a separate page, rather than adding this functionality to the existing Item Search page. 

Workshop Start and End Times 

• You can now set Workshop Calendar Start and End times via the Store page.  

This allows staff to clearly see when booking in Jobs when the Workshop is open, should a job be booked outside of business hours then the user would be shown a warning.
