Next cashier update will introduce a critical enhancement to the cashier application, ensuring improved control and security for the operations of the discounts. 

Discounts linked to coupons will now be hidden from the cashier's discount selection screens, both at the order level and the product level. This change ensures that only authorized coupon usage can apply these specific discounts, preventing any circumvention of coupon limits.

This update prevents unauthorized use of discounts linked to coupons, maintaining the integrity of coupon limits. Branch managers can ensure that only valid, authorized discounts are applied by cashier users.

User Preparation:

To prepare for this update, please review your discounts list in the console. Ensure that the discounts you want to keep showing in the cashier application are not linked to any coupons. If you find a discount that is linked to a coupon it will not be shown in the Cashier anymore. Console users will need to create a new discount that is not associated with a coupon.

If you want to double check, you can use this link to verify the discounts that will remain in the Cashier and the discounts that will be removed via these links:

• For the discounts that will be removed from the Cashier: Click Here
• The discounts that will remain in the Cashier: Click Here

Any future discounts that get linked to a coupon will be removed from the Cashier in order to apply them via a coupon only.

We are introducing a powerful new feature that allows managers/users to bulk send sync notifications to one, multiple, or all selected devices from the console. This enhancement will significantly streamline the process of ensuring devices are synchronized with the latest settings and parameters. 

To prevent overwhelming cashiers with multiple notifications, we have implemented an hourly restriction. This means that a force sync notification can be sent to a device only once per hour.

 As a manager, you can now bulk select multiple cashiers and initiate a force sync with a single button, eliminating the need to sync devices individually.

When a force sync is initiated from the Console, cashier users must sync their data to reflect the latest settings and any changes made on the Console.

 Enjoy a more streamlined and controlled approach to sync devices in one, multiple or all branches with this latest update. 

As part of continuously enhancing the importing experience on the console, bulk updating for existing records is now supported for new entities, which are:

• Supplier inventory items: updating details for the inventory items that are related to a specific supplier
• Price tag modifiers: updating the price for the modifier that is linked to a specific price tag
• Price tag products: updating the price for the product that is linked to a specific price tag

Foodics reports are now more accurate than ever, records are tracked in the reporting based on their values at each moment of time instead of showing their current value only.

Example:

• Product “Burger” was in category “Sandwiches” in March
• On 1st April, the category for “Burger” is changed to “Burgers”
• When viewing “Cost Adjustment History” report for March, filtering on “Sandwiches” category:
  • Old reporting logic: will not show any data for the “Burger” since we are only recording the current category which is “Burgers”
  • New reporting logic: will show the data for the “Burger” when it was sold under the “Sandwiches” category in March

Impacted reports are:

• Cost adjustment history
• Cost analysis
• Inventory control
• Inventory history
• Purchase orders
• Purchasing
• Transfer orders
• Transfers
