New Features

Ability to share or download schedules between stores, and download from HeadOffice

Stores can now download schedules down from HeadOffice.

• Icons for schedules now indicate local, template and downloaded schedules.

• Downloaded schedules will NOT follow templates. 

• When users download the schedule item, it will download the associated schedules, as well as any item links

• Stores CAN edit downloaded schedules, but cannot edit template schedules.

Open Items – Schedule 86ing / Scheduled Disabling the Item by Date

Function:

The ability to turn off (i.e. "Item 86") Open Items on a scheduled date is now available as an InterfaceLink.

• Interfacelink format: 
  86_OPEN_ITEMS:YYYY-MM-DD
• When this date is met, or the date has passed after the one given in the InterfaceLink, all open items on that terminal will be disabled in the same way they are for Item 86'd items.

Tempus pinpad integration for EMV - offline (SAF) mode

• Store and Forwards can be performed by sites using Tempus payment integrations.   This is comparable to how SAF is done for all other payment processors.

• A few key adjustments have been made to SAF for this integration:
  • Transactions are sent to the gateway every 15 min for Tempus sites.
  • It is also possible to try to perform an SAF charge manually, every 10 minutes.

Improvements

Upgraded Java to Build 8u202 

Upgraded version of Java used by Volante to Build 8u202 to improve stability.

Kiosks – Added a Back button to Option/Size/Weigh Scale ordering screens

Kiosks now have a new Back button on Option/Size/Weigh Scale order screens.

Resolved issues with Exceptions for PIN Pad Initialization 

Tempus integrations now allow for use of PIN Pad resets on the POS terminals.

• Fixed issues where exceptions were thrown when PIN Pad initialization failed.  
• Following re-initialization occurring, transactions will also be successful, post-reset.
  
  

Tempus Integration: Debit card shows up as VISA/Mastercard on receipt

• Fixed issues where debit cards processed via Tempus would appear as MasterCard or VISA on receipts.
  
  

Typo on Order Print Page

• Made wording edits to the Order Print Page.
  
  

"Currently Unavailable" and "Out of Stock" statuses used to differentiate Item 86 and Out of Stock statuses.

• Kiosks now differentiate between items that were 86'd manually, versus items with inventory stock that have run down to 0 (i.e. are considered Out of Stock). 
• These are indicated by faded images, stating "Currently Unavailable" and "Out of Stock" for 86 and 0 Inventory respectively.
  
  
  
  
  

SAF on Kiosks – SAF Transactions fail if exceeding a certain transaction limit

Added a new error message for SAF transactions that fail if the user is over a certain dollar value limit. 

• The error message is "Unable to contact card processor!" – the system will only indicate that the terminal is offline, without stating the actual transaction limit.  
• Hiding the actual limit is is to avoid instances where the customer knows the limit, and when the terminal is offline, this can be easily abused. 

Cloud BackOffices using 100% CPU, causing it to become unresponsive

Fixed issues that would cause Cloud BackOffices to reach 100% CPU usage, causing the client to become unresponsive.

Bug Fixes

Kiosk – Other Fixes 

• Kiosk $99 Threshold Scan
  • Fixed issue where a scan of an item affected by a Price Level results in the original price being used instead of the Price Level-based price.

• Kiosk: Multiple Discounts triggered by Customer on Kiosk does not apply to second item
  • Fixed issue when multiple discounts applied to a transaction containing only two items do not apply to the second item.
    
    
• Pay at Counter – Many Table Service prompts when completing transaction in Tabs on POS
  • Fixed issue where too many prompts are being presented on the POS for Pay at Counter Kiosk transactions.

POS Mode – Other Fixes

• Menu Items – Price
  • Fixed issue where menu item prices appear with one decimal place instead of two on the POS.
    
    
• White screen presented while using pop-ups
  • Fixed issue where the screen turns white upon entry of weigh scale items and/or associated option items.
    
    
• Voiding meal plan does not work, it refunds 2 meal plans back to that account
  • Fixed issue where voids of transactions on a meal plan are not being voided accurately.
    
    
• Combo Sales Summary Report Errors
  
  • Fixed issue where the Combo Sales Summary report fails to run, and produces the error, "System Error: Column configuration is improperly changed. Please check configuration. [904-0]"
    
    
• POS: Quantity 0 for Items does not have security prompt
  • Fixed issue where items can be ordered with a quantity of 0 with no display of a warning prompt.

• Customer Auto Discount not working

  • Fixed issue where employee discounts are not being applied to transactions if the cashier swipes the customer card prior to adding items to the transaction.

    This fix causes the discount to apply both on both Customer Scan and On Total (provided we do not restrict the number of discounts to be applied).

    As such, this will be handled as an operational issue on sites, where customers should be told to scan the Customer AFTER adding all items.

    This fix will be removed in 1759 and later. This is especially important for sites like Mary Kay that make use of the feature.

• Reformat the receipt close day summary report
  • Corrected format of Close Day Summary Report printed to receipt.
    
    

HeadOffice and BackOffice – Other Fixes

• Bounce back. Can’t assign tags in new menu
  • Fixed issues where Bounce Back Coupons cannot be configured with tags.
    
    
• Unintended Menu Item Deletions Issue
  • Fixed issue where selection of multiple menu items in the BackOffice results in parent folders (Division/Group/Category) to be selected as well.
    
    
• Menu Items can be deleted with muli-select on Template in new menu
  • Fixed issue with the New Menu where Items (Divisions/Groups/Categories) on the HeadOffice, can be deleted when selected with the Multi-select tool.
    
    
• Payroll Import Failing for Single Customer Type Configuration
  • Fixed issue where payroll import fails for customer import (during creation of new customers) when only one customer type exists and is configured without a customer type mapping.
    
    
• Interface Links on Items do not download down.
  
  • Fixed issue where items with interface links applied on Enterprise are not being successfully downloaded along with those items.
    
    
• Close Day Details requires exact Start/End Time in new menu builds
  • Fixed issue where the Close Day report does not run for the previous day if the report time is not precisely indicated
