Cash management - Float registration with currency support
Float registration can be used to move money (local and foreign currency) from the safe to a cash drawer.
Currently, there is no validation versus safe content when moving money out of the safe via the float registration in POS. This can be added later if a new cash management module including safe handling is implemented in EG Cloud.
Safe drop with currency support
Cash management function with new SafeDrop dialog that includes currency support.
This dialog opens after the bag number registration dialog is handled.
The SafeDrop view looks like this:
Improved model search dialog
In Model Search, stock availability of items in stores can be done by selecting color and size. User can also search for a specific store if they want to check availability in a specific store. By default, only store with available stock is shown, but by clicking "View all stores" the user can see all stores regardless of stock availability.
Forcing cancellation of receipts
If a receipt contains data that prevents cancellation (for example an authorized bank terminal payment), a new permission can be given to selected cashiers that can override and force cancellation of these receipts. This permission can be given for example to cashiers used by EG support to handle specific support situations like the bank terminal being offline/unavailable.
The cashier permission to force receipt cancellation can be added to specific cashiers in User Management:
A note should be added to the daily settlement by the cashier when a cancellation is forced as is could lead to differences in the settlement.
Online return and cancellation of previous receipt (post void)
The function to perform online return, can suggest cancellation of the previous receipt (post void) from the same cash register.
When the online return function is used on the previous receipt from the same POS, the following dialog will be shown:
If the user selects Post void, the receipt will be automatically completed with the same tender types as in the original receipt (with opposite direction).
If the user selects Cancel, online return can be performed instead.
When the online return function is used on a receipt which was not the previous receipt from the same POS, the following dialog will be shown:
