WineryPOS version (4.91) is available

[Robert Peck]

Version 4.91 is now available for download and the new iPad version is
available in the Apple App Store.

 

UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS

 

1.       To check for updates select Help/Check for Updates from the menu
bar, and the download will begin.
On base and sales terminals (or a Remote Terminal in Temporary Sales Mode)
you have to be in admin mode (press F12) to be able to check for updates.

 

2.       When the download completes, select 'Yes' to start the installation

Follow the installer directions.
You can now restart the WineryPOS application.

 

     It is better to update your base terminal first.  You can leave your
remote terminal(s) running and connected while you update the base terminal.

     If you have anti-virus software running, you may need to verify that
the WineryPOS application is still being allowed through the anti-virus
firewall. 

     If your remote terminal does not automatically pull the update from the
base terminal, and goes into Temporary Sales mode on start-up, just check
for updates on the remote terminal while in Temporary Sales mode.

 

END OF UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS

 

Updates (from 4.89) in this version:

1)      Quarterly Reporting

a.       There is now a LCBO Quarterly Report option under the Reports menu.

b.      Quarterly reports can be created for any end month you prefer

c.       The LCBO WineryReport excel file will only be generated for valid
LCBO quarter end months (March/June/Sept/Dec) from June 2022 onwards.

2)      You can force remote terminal desktop app to go into and out of Temp
Sales Mode (via the menu icon -green/red circle- beside the help menu).

3)      Bug fixes

a.       0.0$ invoice/payments on statement of account

b.      Fractional add dialog button layout

c.       Email interface - catch exceptions thrown by newer email clients

d.      Add bottle deposit line to Custom reports

e.      Sold price storage/retrieval from bulk inventory

f.        Other typo fixes

4)      Add # column and total number of people in booking summary dialog

5)      Enhanced error handling/reporting and speed improvements during
excel report generation.

 

Next WineryPOS update is planned for end of February, and the following one
in April which will address the changing wine/cider Ontario wine tax
remittances.

 

Upcoming Additions:

1)      Add export/posting to Sage/Quickbooks.  This feature will come with
a cost (TBD$/year) due to the expected support to keep it up-to-date with
Sage and Quickbooks updates.

2)      Enhancements to the Wine Club feature.

3)      Add a Loyalty program to award points/discounts/stuff to individuals
based on their purchases over the past number of month/weeks.

4)      Add a timesheet feature to track/report employee work hours

5)      Ability to generate and track Sales Orders (future month dated
orders that you can track payments as credit-on-account payments and change
as needed).

6)      Ability to crystallize all transactions before a specific date and
not allow any transactions to be created prior to that date.

7)      Add Shopify/WooCommerce inter-connectivity support.

8)      Add a configurable Region to the information for Contacts and allow
reports to be generated for regions (e.g., GTA/Ottawa/etc)

9)      Add Credit-on-Account tables to all of the relevant reports

10)   Import/Export.  a) handle Sale Groups and Sale Sets.  b) Bulk
inventory

11)   Be able to create sub-invoices or invoice sets for large sales done
through sales reps.

12)   Offer a backup service to store encrypted backups of your database on
my server.

13)   Ability to create barcodes or QR codes for membership contacts that
can be scanned from a smart phone.  That way membership swipe cards are not
needed.

14)   Create an iPhone app that supports the booking feature.

15)   Be able to Print bookings by the week/month.

16)   Add secondary commission rate for specific sales channels (eg Export,
or OOP).

17)   I will be moving the Windows build to a 64bit build (the MAC build has
always been 64bit)

 

As always, if there are any enhancements that you would like to see added,
let me know.  I put everything suggested on a prioritized list, and slowly
work my way through it.

 

I am now able to configure my server to allow pre-releases to wineries for
MAC and Windows PC updates for testing purposes.

 

Cheers,

Rob
