KORONA.Studio Updates
Cash Discounting (Alternative price group per organization)
(note: This function requires your POS to be on version 2.4.30 or higher.)
In response to multiple requests, we have created a new report.
We now have the ability to handle two separate price groups at the same time, which is perfect for Cash Discounting. As this is a highly requested feature, we will briefly explain the setup here, and manual pages for other individual new features will be coming at a later date.
It will require just a small amount of setup:
For each of your products, you will need to have two price groups, ideally a Cash and a Credit price. You can create new price groups in Sales > Price Groups.
Then, you just need to indicate which sets of prices are correct for that location in Settings > Organizational Units: (The first Price Group will be the default price that shows on the POS units in that location)
Once those are set up, you are nearly ready to go with our new Dual Pricing setup, we just need to set up some things on the POS.
Go back to Settings > Price Groups, and take note of the Number for each Price Group.
Yours are most likely 1 and 2. In the following examples, the Cash group is 1, and my Credit group is 4. You will need to go to your Button Configurations, and we’re going to add a few functions to your Total button. You will need to add Character: Key #, where the # is the Number for your Cash Price Group, and then Function: Change Price Group.
Then we will need to add a few things to your Credit button. In the example, we’re going to add Character: Key 4 (remember, that is the Number of the Credit Price Group. Your number will likely be different), and then Function: Change Price Group. This will apply the Credit Price Group to the sale whenever you press the Credit button.
Now, you should be good to go! You may just need to restart your POS to make all the changes take effect. When you ring up a product on the POS screen, you will now be able to see both the Cash and Credit totals at the bottom of the receipt. If you have a custom-facing display, both totals will also display for your customers on that screen.
We appreciate your patience while we finished developing this feature.
Please contact our Support team if you run into any issues during setup.
Change History for Promotions, Buttons, and POS Profiles
Changes made to Couponing Promotions, Buttons Configurations, Button Layouts, and POS Profiles will now be tracked. You can locate the change history on each respective page by hovering over More at the top.
The change history will include the time and date the change took place, the user who made the change, and the attributes that were changed. You can view what the attribute was before and what it was changed to.
Show/Hide Password
You can now toggle on and off the visibility of a cashier’s password using the eye icon on the right-hand side.
Management Report and Revenue Report by Hour – Now displays customer counts
Bonus Points Redemption of Products from Tag
Two new options for bonus point redemption have been added. You can now use Tags to limit which products bonus points can be used to redeem rewards on. This is excellent for areas where certain products are prohibited from being discounted by the government.
Revised advanced benefit in Couponing Promotions
We have updated the terminology used when setting up Advanced Promotions. It should now be more clear what each field is intended to do.
Description & Comment field in Stock Order Templates
Stock Order Templates now have a Description field and Comment field under Others.
Filter Product List by Supplier Item Description
The product list can now be filtered by the Supplier Item Description.
Invoicing – Mass creation of Vouchers
In addition to the mass creation via the voucher menu, vouchers can now also be booked in large quantities via the delivery note and the invoice in the invoice menu.
If the voucher numbers are automatically generated, they are selected randomly. If the serial number obligation is activated in the selected voucher definition, a start number is required, and the voucher numbers are increased.
New table management functions
We have added three new functions for table management:
- Cashiers can transfer receipts to the control of other cashiers
- The cashier may take over the receipt of another cashier with confirmatiom
- A receipt can now be split between customers
Return of goods trigger for External System Calls
You can now have an External System Call trigger when a Return is processed at the POS.
Multilingual key layouts
Several languages can now be used in the key configuration, especially for self-checkouts. The customer can then choose their language at the SCO.
The default language is set at the point of sale so that cash registers in other countries can display buttons in other languages.
Standard paper format for PDFs
You can now select the paper format for PDFs under Your User Name > My Company Data. After the update, all European accounts are automatically set to A4.
Daily closing in A4 format
In KORONA Studio, the daily closing is now output as a PDF in A4 format as standard. The original format can still be selected using the arrow key on the PDF button.
