WineryPOS version (5.19) is available - WHOLESALE PRICING

[Robert Peck]

Version 5.19 is now available for download from the POS server and the new
iPad version is available in the Apple App Store.

 

Please note that the update server automatically disables updates for
wineries that have 30+ day outstanding invoices.

 

UPDATE WINDOWS/MAC 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.

 

UPDATE IPAD INSTRUCTIONS

 

1.       Start the App Store app on the iPad.

2.       Pick your account (press on your account) , which shows all
available updates.

3.       Update WineryPOS

 

END OF UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS

 

Updates (from 5.13) in this version:

1.       Winery Reporting template V27.2 - Wholesale pricing for licensees,
effective July 1st, 2026

a.       This template has significant changes due to pricing changes for
licensees and the removal of Ontario wine/cider/bottle levies

The licensee price is now calculated as markups on the landed cost, instead
of a straight 10% discount of the retail price.

b.      In the Licensee Pricing dialog (Sales / Licensee Pricing) - the
manual calculator has been updated to perform old (discount) and new
(wholesale) licensee pricing calculations.

c.       If you notice any discrepancies, please let me know.

2.       Import Sales from Excel feature.

a.       This is a paid for feature.

b.      The WineryPOS software can now import sales from excel files, that
you have exported from Quickbooks (or other accounting s/w). 

c.       The software can now be used as strictly a report generator if you
want to use different s/w (or a combination of) for sales.

3.       Bottle inventory now tracks the VQA number as well.

4.       Improved network connectivity if your base terminal has multiple
IPs.

5.       Improved remote printing support from another terminal.  The
terminal being configured (eg iPad) to use remote printing can now select
from a list of configured terminals.

-          Also moved Name parameter in the iPad configuration scene to the
Connectivity Settings scene and renamed it to End-of-Day Name to avoid
confusion with the remote print name.

6.       Merchant terminal processing semi-integrated support.  If an
unknown payment type (eg Discovery card) is accepted the POS used to default
this to payment type of Other,  Now that can be configured (eg to Visa).

7.       MAC build changes to support Intel and Apple silicon.  Apple is
slowly phasing out support for Intel based macs (pre-2020).  Minimum macOS
supported is now 13.0 (Ventura)

The install package should support both Intel and Apple silicon macs.  

If you have issues, please let me know.  The installer runs on both of my
macs - one Intel and one Apple silicon.

8.       Allow Cider to have excise - in the case of non-apple cider.

9.       Other misc fixes and updates.

 

Upcoming Additions:

1)      Moving the Windows build to a 64bit build (the MAC build has always
been 64bit)

2)      Create an iPhone app 

3)      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.

a)      Stage 1: data presentation in the POS in terms of dialogs as well as
viewing data in pdf/csv formats.  If you have specific data (or formats)
that you would like to see please contact me.

b)      Stage 2: integration with Quickbooks.

c)       Stage 3: integration with Sage.

4)      Enhancements to the Wine Club feature.

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

6)      Add Shopify/WooCommerce inter-connectivity support.

a)      Stage 1: support import of csv format sales data to the POS

b)      Stage 2: integration with one of the platforms.

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

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

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

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

11)   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.

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

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

 

Cheers,

Rob
