Auto Deliver Layaway Item

The new functionality will prompt the cashier to add the items that are put on Layaways automatically for delivery in a transaction if the customer has paid all the installments. Using this functionality the cashier operations are eased as there would no need to add the items for delivery once the customer has paid for the Layaways.

Gift Cards/Gift Certificates

Gift Certificate functionality has been enhanced with this release of iVend. This release allows selling and redeeming the Gift Certificate in single transaction. With this feature enhancement the cashier can now redeem the Store Credit that was given to the customer and can still issue a new Gift Certificate in the single transaction.

Printing Enhancements

The following are now supported by the thermal receipts of iVend

1. Barcode (Single or Multiple) can be printed anywhere on the receipt: Earlier version of iVend had a limitation that the barcodes will always be printed at the bottom of the receipt. With the new release it would be possible to print the barcode anywhere on the receipt. This is beneficial specially in printing the Gift Certificates from iVend.

2. Paper Cut: Receipt can now be configured to be cut from more than one place now.

3. Showing the decimal values as whole number on receipt: User would now be able get rid of trailing zeroes of the shown value on the receipt. This would make receipt more readable.

Inventory Transactions

All inventory transactions screens of iVend now shows the line number in front of each row of detail. This is helpful in user to identify the number of rows in a document specially while entering the Goods receipt at store.

Security Rights for Closing the Till

A new security right has been introduced in this release of iVend to restrict/allow the cashier from closing the till at the POS. This setting would normally be used when the till is assigned to a Team instead of a User and only one User of the team is allowed to close the till at the POS.

Quick Button

Quick button functionality has been enhanced with this release of iVend. User would now be able to setup a Quick button for a Matrix item also. This would enable the user to click on the button and quickly select the child product for selling.

Inter-Store Transactions

The Inter-Store transaction functionality is now split in two parts

1. Can Deliver from General Warehouse: This functionality will allow configuration of the system to capture the Sales/Order at Store which are to be delivered from General Warehouse from SAP Business One.

2. Allow Inter-Store: This functionality will allow the configuration of the system to capture the Sales/Orders at the Store which are to be delivered from other retail stores or from general warehouse of SAP Business One.

The major differentiating factor between the above 2 options is the way the records are replicated between the stores. In second case the transaction done at the one store are replicated to all other stores whereas in first case the transaction done at store is replicated only to the iVend Enterprise.

Integration Enhancements

The integration cycle will now integrate the records from SAP Business One to iVend before posting the transactions into SAP Business One.

SAP Business One Integration

iVend integration engine will now populate the transaction id of iVend transaction in the Journal Remarks field of the SAP Business One invoices and payments. This would help SAP Business One user in reconciling the customer accounts within SAP Business One.
