Return of orders
A new and improved solution to return items in orders has been implemented in EG POS. This makes it easy to return items with the correct price in any physical store. The order could have been created in the webshop, in another physical store or in your own store.
Search for order number:
Select or scan the item:
To be able to return an item, it must have been both paid and delivered. When an item has been returned, it cannot be returned again.
Order numbers must be unique across all stores for the retailer in order to use this solution.
Random control of customers in Self-service (SCO)
Previously, the random control mechanism in EG POS was a purely manual and visual control performed by the store employee.
A configurable and assisted control mechanism has now been implemented.
- The control will be performed while still in self-service mode.
- The employee will be informed how many items need to be controlled.
- Items that are not scanable, i.e. they do not have a barcode / are chosen by customer from PLU list, may be controlled quickly by an 'OK' button.
- Items are listed in the opposite order of customer's registration, with not scanable items on top.
- If the control results in a deviation all items will be deleted automatically and all items must be registered again.
- (To be able to keep member, coupons, deposit refund tickets and eSale products etc., the same receipt is used.)

Configuration of default search view
Previously, all search views had the same default view type. A new parameter configures which result view is shown as default for every type of search (item, order, customer etc.).
New search view and new item attributes for Manufacturer code and sales code
A new search view with the following columns has been created:
New fields for Manufacturer code, sales code and stock location can be configured and shown in item search details view and in item information view.
New fields for Manufacturer code and sales codes is only imported from Item Management, not Chain Classic.
