You might be using Auto Stock Journal to create production entry of item being sold and respective consumption entry for the raw material used.

At the day end, you are also entering the wastage entry for the unsold finished items.

Therefor it is required to generate a production and consumption entry from wastage entry as we do it for sale.

Enhancement in Dynamic Search of Mobile Number in Advance Customer Screen

Scenario: We use dynamic search in advance customer master screen to find the customer based on mobile number. If you have large number of customer master (say 0.2 million), the dynamic search tends to be slow. This happens specially when a user wrongly enter only 1-5 digits and press enter.  

 

Solution: The following logic has been implemented to search the mobile number in advance customer screen to speed up the search.

If the user enters up to 4 digits of mobile number and search then it will search exact 4 digits in the mobile number in Database.

If the user enters more than 4 digits of mobile number and search then it will search dynamically in the mobile number in Database.

If option is set to Yes, on using item discount button, it will ask for OTP after entering manual discount (In amount or %), and will send a default SMS to the customer “Please share this OTP <OTP> with the cashier to get discount. Thanks."

 

Notes

The cashier needs to enter the OTP to proceed further.

If the customer is not selected OR mobile number is not entered, then it will show a message "You need to select the customer with a mobile number for the discount."

In Scan POS it will work only for item discount only.

In Touch POS it will work for both on item discount and bill discount.

For example you may need to copy the action control of one designation to other designation in one go.

Need to improve the speed of opening Scheme Master and Recipe Master

Scenario: If the database is large it takes a long time to open "Scheme and Promotion" and "Recipe Master". This happens because it does stock calculation before opening the above master.

If it is set to NO, then Recipe and Scheme master will use existing stock table without recalculation, and it will very open fast.

 

Restrict the users at branch for billing if data is not synced.
