Obviously like many working with solo I'll await the full release.

I was wondering if there was any updates on the wish list development requests; approx roadmap timescales, likelyhood of being developed/added, etc.

Hi Jon

Please keep those wishlist items coming in, we appreciate the time you take to feedback.

We are working hard to make EPOS even more reliable, our next release v3.07 is now in open beta, please see http://www.actinic.co.uk/support/changes-epos.htm for a list of changes. I am also pleased to announce we are working on a CSV product import facility which is almost ready for its first round of testing, more info on release dates to follow. This should make the nature of populating your till with products quicker.

One bug so far, the change quanty screen isn't working.
You can change the quanty but pressing enter or clicking on ok doesn't work.

Thanks Ross

Will investigate that one and post back

Ross, I take it you mean the 'Quantity' button on the 'Sales Screen' where you change the quanity sold of each product. Try highlighting the product you wish to change in the list, please let me know how you get on.

Yes thats what i mean, and yes it does work by selecting the product, thats what threw me as previous it selected the last product scaned.
Is it possible to go back to selecting the last product scanned?

Many thanks

I have a feeling this may have been caused by some changes that were made to iron out a few Vista issues we had, but I'll chat with the team on that and they can investigate it and hopefully include in a future release. I'll let you know.

Discount and Printing in 3.07

There seems to be little improvement on the calculation of discount and printing of labels on 65 to a sheet.

Has anyone else got these kinda issues?

When we calculate discount - for example, we have to hold prices at 3 decimal places to be able to sell in centimetres. When we sell a quantity (e.g. 50cm) and then offer discount - we get an error message - better than the last version which lead to some truely customer unfriendly prices - thousands when it should have been pence.

When we try to print on small labels - 65 per sheet - we get errors about being outside the printable area and losing data. This is still happening.

I understand what was meant by the need to identify the item needing the discount or quantity data when selling a product - had us most confused until we had a read of the thread - thanks.

Hi Sandra

Thanks, just to confirm is this the 'Avery L7651 Labels - 65 per Sheet' report under the 'Barcodes' tab within 'Tickets'?

Thanks

Printing 65 to page

Yep - confirmed it is the Avery label.

[Darren]

Thanks Sandra

Have been chatting with the team, who inform me that it is to do with the pre-defined margin sizes of the printer, and unfortunately it is unable to print over the entire area of the whole page.

A similar thing may happen if you set the page properties of a Word document to have '0' margin.

I hope this makes sense.
