Point of Sale Improvements

Several improvements have been made to the POS to address usability issues that were reported after the V5.2 release.

Auto Stock Control has been improved with better UX when back ordering stock and re-allocating stock from open orders. The POS can now also automatically assign on-order stock to POS sales.

When an item was deleted from the POS the containing grid lost focus, which had the side-effect of preventing function key presses from being detected by the main form. An event has been added so that the grid is automatically refocused after a deletion.

Deleting an item from the POS now automatically selects the item that moves up to take its place. This means you can select the first item and press Delete repeatedly to remove multiple items without having to manually select each one.

When a new item is added to the POS it is now automatically selected. Previously, pressing F2 after adding an item would change the quantity of the first item rather than the one just added.

An exception that could occur when pressing Ctrl+P or clicking the print button before the order had been assigned an order number has been fixed. The order number is now refreshed after the order is saved before being passed to the print routine.

Supervisor approval now works correctly for cloud subscription accounts.

If your barcode scanner appends trailing spaces or other extra characters to the scan output, Easify could fail to find the matching product. Scanned values are now trimmed before being looked up, so scanning will work reliably regardless of your scanner's configuration.

Changing the customer on an open POS sale now correctly refreshes the order to reflect any discount associated with the newly selected customer.

Paperwork Designer Improvements

The Paperwork Designer has received some significant improvements. You can now copy and paste controls using the familiar Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V keyboard shortcuts, making it much quicker to build paperwork layouts when you want to reuse existing controls.

You can now also select multiple controls at once by holding Shift and clicking each control you want to include. Once you have a selection you can move, delete, or apply formatting changes — such as bold, font size, or colour — to all of the selected controls in one go.

What's more you can copy and paste from one document to another. Now you can create your paperwork header once, and simply copy and paste it to your other documents.

A long-standing issue has also been fixed where the designer would show an "unsaved changes" warning on exit, even if all you had done was click on a control to select it. The designer will now only prompt you to save if you have actually made changes to the paperwork.

Purchase Improvements

When you receive a purchase and the cost prices on the purchase differ from the prices currently stored against your products, Easify will now automatically detect this and show you a list of the changed prices. You can then choose to update your product cost prices in one go, saving you from having to manually track down and update each product individually.

Products Needed by Supplier Report

A new Products Needed by Supplier report has been added. This report shows you exactly what stock you need to order, grouped by supplier. It takes into account the stock you already have available and what is already on order, so the report shows only the quantity you actually need to purchase rather than the raw demand figure.
