What S New Build 2195 Build 2437

What’s new Build_93_7421 --> Build_95_11_8321

Functionality:

New: Do NOT remove the unTill logo from the screens.

Because reseller are sometimes removing the unTill® logo from every screen, make the unTill® logo hard coded on the screen. We all must be proud on our logo ! ! !

Now in POS on Start screen Untill LOGO is automatically drawn in the right bottom corner of screen, on all other screens: in the top of screen in a position left =336px, top = 20px. The logo drawing can be turned OFF, add in Untill.ini in section [Common] the line: NoUntillLogo=1 (This was just a warning, next time it WILL BE hard coded.)

New Screen property is added "Table overview screen". If it's turn on, LOGO is drawn in the bottom right, else it's drawn in the top of screen.

New: Go to report screen from Direct Sales.

Distributor: unTill – United Kingdom Reseller: Gardiff

When we want to go to the report screen from the order screen in direct sales We need to go to normal sales first at the moment. Please make it possible to go directly to report screen from direct sales.

New: Cash declaration per Terminal.

1) Manager/Supervisor enters the float in to each terminal at the start of the day (just the total cash – not each type of note/coin). 2) Manager/Supervisor can add to the float during the day if required. 3) Manager/Supervisor can also perform an uplift during the day if required if the drawer is getting full (this just needs to be a total of cash removed from the drawer which prints a slip the user signs and leaves in the drawer). 4) Manager/Supervisor declares the float per terminal at the end of the shift/night. 5) System should have an option to declare individual terminals or all terminals consolidated. 6) Manager/Supervisor declares the Credit Card balance per terminal at the start/end of the shift/night. *3) Manager/Supervisor can also perform an uplift during the day if required if the drawer is getting full (this just needs to be a total of cash removed from the drawer which prints a slip the user signs and leaves in the drawer) this probably can be done trough 'cash out'. *4) Manager/Supervisor declares the float per terminal at the end of the shift/night most of the customers will ask for to block Z read report if cash declaration has not been performed I think at the moment the main issue is that the cash declaration is linked to clock in/out function, also that its per 'personal cash drawer' rather than computer. It is good idea to have cash declaration per user if each waiter is responsible for the money they take but in most of the places 2-3 members of staff are sharing 1 cash drawer.

When we created the action "Need cash drawer amount" - we supposed that the table would keep only balances - i.e. final values, such as : At the start day - drawer has 100.00 euro At the end day - drawer has 1000.00 euro ======Difference per day = 900.00 euro

Now we can compare with cash payments. UK guys want to have the possibility to add/remove money during the day so the amount of cash will be changed. Thus the table now keeps not only the balance, but the Balance and the Turnover.

At the start – the drawer has 100.00 euro - start balance. Add 10.00 – turnover. Add 20.00 – turnover. Remove 50.00 – turnover. At the end day - drawer has 1000.00 euro - end balance. So we have to distinguished somehow balance and turnover, because they will then require reports: How much was added directly to drawer (turnover). How much was removed (withdrawn) directly from the drawer (turnover). How much was at the start of day – balance. How much was at the end of day – balance. Turnover and Balance - actually are different values and should be kept in defferent tables I believe. And relations between values will be as following: End balance = Start Balance + Cash Payments + Positive turnover - Negative turnover Resume: we can use action "Need cash drawer amount" for balance, but we also need another action for entering cash turnover.

Solution: 1. Balance is filled by action "Need cash drawer amount". 2. Turnover is filled by "In/Out cash". Both actions allows to print ticket after the value is entered. In Z-report total cash balance can be calculated by formula: Start Cash Amount + In Cash + Out Cash - Sales paid by Cash = End Cash Amount

BO changes Parameters "Cash", "Credit Card" are added to Action "Need Cash Drawer amount" and ticket dataset "Cash Drawer Amounts"

POS changes Value in action "Need cash drawer amount" can now be negative. 1. New action "Need cash declaration" is added in restaurant. It works from any state. 2. Field Terminal is added in dataset "Cash declaration report" - the dataset also can be filtered by terminal.

New: New Stock reports.

The customer needs a really simple buying product/ingredient report: Ingredient name, class, supplier name, cost price, buying size. * Supplier name, cost price, buying size not coming up in 'ingredients' data set. where do I need to take this information from?

Also another report is needed for articles: Article number, article name, selling size, department/group/category, ingredient for the article. * How can I link ingredient to an article on reports?

1. Dataset "Sold stock ingredients" - it seems has all data. 'Ingredient number', 'Ingredient', 'Average cost', 'Usage U/M', 'Sold amount', 'Sold value', 'Single sales price' 2. Dataset 'Sales and cost'. 'Article number', 'Article', 'Department', 'sold quantity', 'theoretical cost'. "Related ingredient" is absent, because in common case there is no direct link between article and ingredient. Restaurant Article can consist of several ingredients, if f.e. it's linked to recipe and vice versa - ingredient can be a part of several Restaurant Articles. 'Theoretical cost' - shows calculated Prime Cost of article basing on cost of ingredients. New field "Supplier name" is added to dataset "Sold stock ingredients" New dataset "Initial count items" is added in Stock reports context. It has most fields same as datasets "Invoice" and "Invoice items".

New: Show Login on the Start screen.

Distributor: unTill – United Kingdom Reseller: Gardiff In the UK they don't use the table overview as a start screen, they always work in direct sales and when something needs to be placed on a table they go from the order screen to the tables. What they really want is to have Login screen as start screen. They also have a problem that when Guest is logged in on order screen, the scanner is still scanning articles. This can be solved when the login screen is shown, unTill® is expecting a login code for a user and not barcode for article. If we can have an automatic LogOff after X seconds on the order screen and then show the login screen, all will be solved.

BO changes Common Data/Hardware/Computers - General. A new value "User login" is added in combo box "POS startup message". If this value is chosen and POS starts in direct sales mode, the first step will be "Login user".

New: Add automatic “Service Charge”.

When a table has more than “x” covers, add automatic service charge to that table.

BO changes New settings "Automatically add service charge %" and "Covers" in Restaurant Settings.

POS changes If the parameter values is above both >0, the Number of Covers of current order exceeds "Covers" parameter value, Order is not partially paid, current Service Charge amount = 0,- unTill® automatically changes Service Charge to "Automatically add service charge %" value.

Bug Fixing:

Bug: TIP is not printed on Re-Print bill.

Distributor: unTill Scotland – Lapsley. when I open table order some articles, then go to payment screen and add tip for example 25 euro then press cash on my bill the tip is shown but when I then go to control screen and reprint bill same ticket then the tip is not shown.

Bug: Transaction structure: Void shows strange behavior.

Voided orders are show many times on form Transaction structure.

Fixed Bug: Combo Article: Account history issue.

1. Order Combo article vat%=0%, items vat = 6% 2. Pay by account 3. Print Account history report.

Result : Price = 100 Netto Vat value = 100 Vat = 14. Problem is: Vat <> 0, but Netto Vat=Price

Bug: Backspace does not work.

When using a Keyboard for the entrance of a new customer, the backspace does not work.

Bug: Split bill by article and pay with 2 cards.

Reseller: unTill Belgium – Cimlux Luxembourg

Order some articles Go to the payment screen Split bill by article Select some articles Confirm selection for payment Enter value and press credit card Then press credit card again to pay remaining Result : Minus articles appear??

Now paying a split bill by several cards is impossible - POS error message shows.

Bug: Error with Covers layer on the order screen.

If Covers is asked after a table is opened, untill wants to show the numeric layer from the start screen instead of the Order screen. This gives problems.

Now it works as following: If Untill needs a field "New Numeric Value", it searches it on its current screen. If it does not find it, it shows another screen. So if, in some state, unTill shows New Numeric value from a wrong screen (as it was before), just add Numeric layer to the current screen. If this is impossible, like with Covers, asked when a table is opened - don't add own Numeric layer on the start screen. unTill will show Numeric layer from the Order screen.

Bug: Percent discount on selected items.

Reseller: Gardiff - unTill United Kingdom

Since B94 when trying to make a % discount on an article, all articles in the bill will get the discount.

Bug: Layer stays visible while Split.

Bug: Payer name not visible.

After update to 94.2 field Order=>Payer Name is not visible anymore in screen after action 'Need Payer Name'.

Bug: Order in the Future: Repeat order.

Distributor: unTill Belgium – FTS

Bug: Table X already opened by waiter Y on PC Z.

Finally we discovered how to reproduce the problem when the message "Table X already opened by waiter Y on PC Z". Logon with Waiter 1 and open table and place an order, then confirm. Then split this table with Waiter1 and order some more, then confirm. Now logon with Waiter2 and try to open the table.... message is shown. You can only open the table again with other waiters when Waiter1 open table and close again.

Bug: Changing working hours T&A.

When trying to change the working hours in BO the following error occurs: Field "total_cost_pvertime" not found. This only happens when trying to change the first line of worked hours for a employee.

Bug: Logoff does not refresh in Direct Sales.

Distributor: unTill – United Kingdom Reseller: Gardiff Customers, using direct sales DB, are getting error messages 'the table xxx is being requested by the machine 192.168.x.x' few times per day. I think is being caused by when 'guest' is logged in but the direct sales table, assigned to the 'guest', is not been used. 'Log Off' script does not release the table number which has been used for the previous transaction. So if I'm logged on, I ring something on to the till and cash it off in direct sales - the script logs me out, logs the 'quest' on, but the table number used by me will stay on the screen.

Fixed Bug: Split bill by articles.

This bug happens in the following case: The part of order is transferred to another table, then the bill is paid using split by articles.

Bug: T&A report takes much too long.

Distributor: unTill – United States Customer: Amaya’s

When trying to print A4 Time and Attendance report untill reboots. Reproduced the problem in the office on db from Amaya’s (1 month). When taking the report for 1 day it is be printed but after a very long time.

The speed has increased not in dozen times but in 5-7 times.

Bug: Deleted item still linked.

Deleted ingredient is still linked to restaurant article.

Bug: Periods not (always) respected on the HHT.

Distributor: unTill - Czech republic Distributor: unTill - The Netherlands Antilles

My customer is using "Happy Hour" automatically set via periods. If there is change of price level based on period, it's not changed for HHT at once. Ordering via HHT still goes in normal prices, but ordering from PC (pos terminal) works correctly based on periods...

Now immediately after a period is changed, cached prices are updated in all POS.

Bug: € sign is not printed.

Since 94.x the Euro sign (€) is not printed on tickets anymore. Also on a on-screen preview we don't see the Euro sign.
