LS Central

Activity

Update Vite on all Bookings projects for v28

The newest version of Vite was updated.

Cleanup Support Functions CU

Code cosmetic fixes.

Improve POS matrix performance

The system improved the performance of POS‑based availability matrix templates. When a matrix uses POS layouts instead of JavaScript layouts, and a user sets such a layout as the default matrix view, the Matrix Availability view in the Role Center opens with the same GUI as the point of sale. This interface supports POS matrix template features such as multi‑day views and vertical resource display.

This view previously loaded much slower than the JavaScript version, but performance now increases significantly, although it still does not match the speed of the JavaScript templates. The layout can still benefit users who need vertical resource views or mixed intervals, such as golf intervals of 7/8 minutes or event views that require multi‑day visibility.

POS matrix layouts include a Page refresh interval (min) setting. This value controls both the automatic refresh interval and the duration that each matrix population remains in cache. For example, if the interval is set to 1 minute, the system reads the data from the database once and keeps it in cache for one minute. When users switch between the same dates during that period, the system loads the information instantly without querying the database again.

A 1‑minute page refresh interval provides the minimum recommended setting for improved performance when using POS template layouts.

Open Bookings reservation from Opportunity Card

A new Reservation action is now available on the CRM Opportunity card. Selecting this action opens the linked reservation card or displays a list of reservations when multiple records are associated with the opportunity.

This enhancement enables direct access to reservation details from within the CRM module, improving navigation and reducing the steps required to review or manage related reservations.

User Scripts for activity product POS journal and invoice descriptions

A new configuration option for POS journal scripts is now available on activity products. This feature allows a template script to override the text and descriptions that appear in the POS journal when an activity is paid, either through the POS or on an invoice.

The template applies only to payments for individual activities and does not support group payments. If no script is defined, the system continues to apply default descriptions, such as the activity date and time and the applicable person or guest type.

This enhancement enables customized invoice and POS journal descriptions for activity sales, offering greater flexibility and consistency through the booking script mechanism.

Allow Pricing/discounts on activities related to Event

The system adds a Promo code field to the Activity Event card. This field allows the user to associate a promotional code with activity products to apply special pricing or discounts on event‑related reservations.

From the Activity Event card, the user creates a new promo code that automatically synchronizes with the event’s dates and status when assigned to the event.

When the user assigns activities to a reservation linked to the event, the system automatically applies the promotional pricing and discounts. The user does not need to manually select the promo code to receive the associated pricing.

The Activity Event Card FactBox now displays the payment status of all related reservations. It also provides drilldowns and counters for promotional pricing and discounts.

Activity Product Pricing Updates

Obsolete Default Price Method

• The Activity Product Default Price Method was officially obsoleted. This method is no longer used within the pricing framework.

Price Method Enum Updated

• The default Codeunit reference was removed from the Price Method enum to prevent unintended fallback behavior and to ensure cleaner configuration handling going forward.

Data Upgrade Enhancements

• The Upgrade Codeunit was updated to automatically migrate all Activity Products that were previously using the default Price Method value.
• During upgrade, affected records are now correctly transitioned to Activity Price, ensuring consistent and accurate pricing after deployment.

Bookings per Device License Unit Implemented

Important for SaaS Customers

A new validation rule now applies to all Bookings POS commands. These commands can only be executed by users who are configured as Active POS Users in the Activity Users Setup table.

This update affects Business Central Device Users (users assigned a Microsoft Device License). Other user types are not impacted.

Enabling Bookings POS Access

To grant access to Bookings POS functions, ensure that the user is set up as an Active POS User in the Activity Users Setup table. Once configured, the user gains permission to run all Bookings POS commands.

1. Open the Activity Users Setup table.
2. Locate the user(s) you want to grant access.
3. Set the new Active POS User field to True.

Add an option to open a reservation/activity by clicking the reservation/activity ID in the Admission Detail Section

Lookup was added to reservation card and activity card from the related fields in the Admission FactBox page.

In Self CheckOut it is now possible to use the SCOGetCurrentTrans webservice to get any available POS Transaction by ReceiptId.

Add functionality to add customer to AddtoTrans SCO webservice

New web service was added to modify Transaction Header in Self Checkout.

• Available for adding Customer number but can be extended for any field through Extension.

Multicurrency in ecom

With the addition of the new fields Currency Code and Currency Factor on the Customer Order Header, multicurrency support was enhanced for Customer Orders. The update ensures consistent currency handling between Ecom, LS Central, and POS, supporting order creation and processing in non-LCY currencies while keeping amounts and currency codes aligned across Customer Orders, Sales Orders, and Transactions.

Restore external archived transaction when refunding/exchanging

When a receipt is scanned for a refund or exchange, the POS sends a request to a web service to retrieve the original transaction from Head Office (HO). If the original transaction has been externally archived, it must first be imported back into HO and restored. Once the transaction is restored, the web service can return the original transaction details to the POS.

Export transactions to storage account

Functionality to export Archived Transactions to External storage was added.

Restore transaction from Azure when refunding/exchanging

Functionality to import Archived Transactions from External storage was added.

Managing the size of the price history table in SaaS

Remove flowfields on Member Point Entry table from the Member Contact table

Performance was improved on the Member Contact table by replacing flowfields from the Member Point Entry table with queries, aligning it with the existing Member Account table implementation.

FactBoxes were added to the Member Contact list page to keep point entry data visible.

• Details can be retrieved by point entry actions.

Add Staff information to Mobile Inventory for LS Central webservice call

Staff ID was added to Store Inventory Lines.

Note: Counted By field is and has been linked to the Employee table.

Use task scheduler to run background sessions on POS

Background sessions are now run by TaskScheduler making background sessions limited per user instead of environment.

Preactions using Timestamps - Readiness improvements

Action on the Scheduler Job page is now called Preset Timestamp from last source counter. When executing this action the question will be asked:

 

This will populate the Preaction Timestamps table based on the last source counters for each subjob.

 

Note: This will NOT overwrite any existing records in the table. If for some reason you need to re-run this routine, you need to clear any existing Preaction Timestamps for this scheduler job from the Preaction Timestamps page, prior to run it.

Customer Order

Multi-location Sourcing

The new Multi-location Sourcing functionality enhances the Customer Order fulfillment process by enabling orders to be sourced from one or multiple locations. This feature applies to Customer Orders that require shipping and provides more flexible, automated, and intelligent sourcing decisions.

 

With configurable sourcing rules, distance calculations, and market restrictions, organizations can optimize order fulfillment based on business priorities—such as reducing split shipments, minimizing delivery distance, and honoring location priorities.

1. Multi-location Sourcing Activation
   • A new setup option, Multi-location Sourcing Active, was added to the Customer Order Setup page.
   • When enabled, the system evaluates multiple sourcing locations and determines the best fulfillment combination.

2. Configurable Sourcing Rules

Users can define the logic the system uses to select the optimal sourcing locations.

The following rules can be activated, deactivated, and reordered to meet business needs:

• Stay within the destination market
  • Ensures sourcing locations are only selected from the customer’s market based on defined market and country mappings.

• Minimize split fulfillment
  • Selects the combination with the fewest number of shipments to simplify logistics and reduce costs.

• Ship from the closest location
  • Prioritizes locations with the shortest distance to the customer, using Azure Maps distance calculations.

• Use location priority (default rule & tie-breaker)
  • Evaluates sourcing based on location priority points. Lower points indicate higher priority.

For more information, see Multi-location Sourcing in the LS Central Help.

Customer Order Flow Update (POS)

The customer order workflow in the POS now supports greater flexibility and accommodates a wider range of fulfillment processes, including shipping, collecting, and vendor sourcing.

Below is an example based on the LS Central demo data:

Previous Workflow:

In earlier versions, sourcing was selected before entering customer information:

1. Start transaction.
2. Add item and mark as a customer order item.
3. Add customer.
4. Click Total.
5. The sourcing list panel will be displayed with available shipping and collecting options.
6. Select one sourcing option and continue.
7. The customer information panel will be displayed.
8. Fill in the required information.
9. Click Confirm Order.
10. Pay and finalize the transaction.

New Flow:

Customer details are now entered before selecting sourcing:

1. Start transaction.
2. Add item and mark as a customer order item.
3. Add customer.
4. Click Total.
5. The customer information panel will be displayed.

Full flexibility → Ship/Collect

Shipping‑only locations → Ship

Collection‑focused locations → Collect

Make Customer Order Compressed option mandatory

All Customer Orders will be Compressed Customer Orders after the upgrade.

If your system has not already been upgraded it will be upgraded automatically.

Stock Protection and Effective Inventory for Customer Orders

Stock Protection and Effective Inventory was introduced to improve how inventory availability is calculated when sourcing items for customer orders.

• Stock Protection allows you to reserve a defined safety stock for stores, ensuring that a minimum quantity remains available for store operations and is not allocated to customer orders.
• Effective Inventory enhances stock calculations by considering expected inbound and outbound quantities from documents such as purchase orders, sales orders, and transfer orders. This provides a more accurate view of future inventory availability when fulfilling customer orders.

 

For more information, see https://help.lscentral.lsretail.com/Content/LS-Retail/Customer-Order/How-To-Set-Up-Stock-Protection-In-Customer-Order.htm and https://help.lscentral.lsretail.com/Content/LS-Retail/Customer-Order/How-To-Set-Up-Effective-Inventory-In-Customer-Order.htm in the LS Central Help.

License Manager

Use software function code LSC_MINV for Mobile Inventory Devices

New unit was added to the License Manager for the the mobiles devices.

Allowances

Enhance tracking of Allowance status

New Allowance Status settings: Draft,Issued,Closed & Consumed,Closed & Unused;

We have enhanced the status handling on allowances, and following is the new process :

1. When allowance is issued (pre-sale and package/item allowances), the allowance gets status "Issued", instead of priorly getting status "Posted".
2. When the allowance is fully consumed, then as before, the allowance status changes to "Closed & Consumed", but priorly got status "Closed" only.
3. When the allowance has expired (and has expiry date), the archiving process will change all allowances which have status "Issued" to status "Closed & Unused". Note this status is only applied if the allowance is not fully consumed, has expiry date, and the archiving process is executed.

Allowance Archiving Process changes:

1. Only allowances that are "Closed & consumed" are archived.
2. Allowances which are expired and not fully consumed get status "Closed & Unused" but are not archived

Also the allowance view page shows now payment status indicator field for the related allowance, i.e. if the issuer of the allowance has been paid.

Bookings & POS – Amount Allowances

It is now possible to configure Amount Allowances that can cover the value of items during POS transactions.

Amount allowances can:

• Be configured with no filters (covers all items), or
• Be restricted by Item Categories, Special Groups, or Retail Groups.

Allowances can be:

• Included in packages
• Added manually to a reservation as an additional charge

At POS:

• Check Allowance command automatically applies all applicable amount allowances to the item.
• View Allowance command displays available amount allowances as buttons; selecting one applies only that specific allowance.

Important: When using Check Allowance, allowances of type Item, Deal, and Selection are applied first, followed by Amount Allowances.

This enhancement provides greater flexibility in configuring and redeeming reservation-based credits at POS.

Show reservation allowance on Bookings Host

The POS Bookings Host now displays allowance information directly on reservations and group reservations. Users can see whether a reservation has an allowance, how much allowance is available, and how it has been consumed.

Matrix

Right click actions on activities in Matrix

More options were introduced to the context menu for activities in the Matrix. This was done to quickly perform common actions through right-click options.

Right-click on an activity provides the following options:

• Reassign Resource
• Cancel Reservation
• Open Activity Card (hidden if set as default)
• Open Reservation Card (hidden if set as default)
• Change Duration / Reschedule (hidden if set as default)

Right-click on a waitlisted activity includes:

• Assign to Resource
• Cancel Reservation
• Reschedule

Make matrix header more responsive to screen size

The matrix header was enhanced to dynamically adjust based on screen size.

Refactor disabler for better right click handling on Matrix

Users can now right-click on another reservation while a context menu is already open, and a new context menu opens for that newly clicked reservation.

Refactor Matrix layout page so POS Matrix specific settings are in separate tab

All fields that apply only to the POS view matrix were moved from the Matrix Layout Setup card to a new section called POS Matrix Settings.

Extra confirmation check when Assigning a resource

An additional confirmation step has been introduced when assigning a resource in the Matrix Waiting List. Users are now prompted to confirm whether they want to reserve the selected resource and confirm the activity. This simplifies confirming waitlisted activities without needing to open the activity card separately.

 

POS

POS matrix zoom (using Javascript matrix)

Additional functionality was added to matrix availability in the POS framework.

• The framework supports a multi‑day view, which is commonly used for banquet events and event‑room scheduling.
• The enhanced view now includes a Zoom option that lets users focus on a specific date by selecting a date button. The same template is used, but the view opens in the JavaScript framework for improved performance when working with a single day.
• After finishing in the zoomed‑in view, users can close it to return to the multi‑day layout.

Enhance presentation of packages in POS Journal

The presentation of Package Offers in the journal and on receipts were updated. The default setup for displaying package offers on receipts now follows the “Deal Line Printing” field in the functionality profile.

• When Header Only is selected, the receipt shows the package offer as a single line.
• When “All Lines” is selected, the receipt prints every line or component included in the package offer.

Users can still override this behavior on the package offer itself, as before.

Enhance the walk-in flow on Bookings Host POS

The Walk-In experience in Bookings POS was improved to enhance usability, accuracy, and stability.

• Possibility of products with 0 availability is no longer shown.
• Behavior when changing time in the panel header was improved.
• Quantity was added to a product that no longer removes it from the product list.
• Walk-In now respects the Number of Guests field.
• The Open Group Card setting was suppressed in POS within Activity Setup.
• Guest count now updates automatically based on product quantity.

Change location and do an Advanced search on Activity Host POS

Added two new POS commands:

1. Activity Advanced Search POS Command

• A new Advanced Search feature was added in the POS interface for reservations.
• You can open a search panel to apply multiple filters and quickly locate relevant reservations.
• Results update dynamically:
  • If one reservation matches, it opens automatically.
  • If none match, a message appears: No reservations found within the search criteria.

• The search respects user access permissions defined in Activity User Setup, including:
  • Reservation Type Filter
  • Location Filter

2. Activity Location POS Command

• Introduced a new Location Selector command that lets users change the active Activity Location in their POS session.
• The selected location determines which reservations and data are visible across the POS interface.
• On login, the system defaults to the user’s Default Activity Location (as configured in Activity User Setup).
• The location lookup displays only locations permitted by the user’s Location Filter.

Display activity comments on the POS reservations web templates

Related comments are now displayed in the comment section of the Reservation and Group Reservation POS templates. This enhancement provides visibility into comments from activities linked to individual reservations, as well as comments associated with group reservations.

Reservation Management

When assigning activities to group by selection show how many activities can be selected and how many are selected

The process for assigning group members to a specific group line in the Group Reservation card has changed. Previously, if a user selected an incorrect number of members (different from the number required by the group line), an error dialog appeared. After closing it, the assignment list reopened with all previous selections removed.

Now, the system displays a dialog box that shows how many people are required and how many the user has assigned, while keeping the user on the same selection list and preserving all selections already made.

Archive Table Activity Additional Item - Group additional item

The Activity Additional Item table was added to the archiving and recall processes. The same enhancement applies to the Additional Charge table at the Group Reservation level. Index keys were also added to the Promo Code table to improve performance. Although this table is not included in archiving, it can be filtered in views by status to exclude closed and expired promotional codes.

Waiver Management

Waiver support on Bookings host

This update makes it easier to complete required waivers without navigating away from the reservation template.

• Reservation header now displays Waiver Pending when there are unsigned waivers.
• Ability to review and sign waivers directly within the bookings template.

Waiver Setup

Waiver handling is now supported in the Booking module. Waivers enable enforcement of liability requirements for Booking clients, typically by requiring clients to review and sign important documents. These documents can be presented to clients either through the back‑office interface or at the point of sale.

API Waiver Integration

API support was added for setting and retrieving waiver status for both reservations and clients. Waivers can also be created through the API; however, waiver issuance typically occurs automatically when related products are booked.

Note: Only JSON‑based waiver APIs are supported.

Email waivers

A new Include Waivers setting is now available in the email template setup. This setting allows you to include relevant waivers when sending emails, such as confirmation emails or any email template that supports attachments.

Waiver inclusion works as follows:

• Sending from Group:
  • Includes all waivers associated with the group, regardless of signature status.
  • Sending from Reservation:
  • Includes all waivers linked to the reservation, regardless of signature status.

• Sending from Activity:
  • Includes all waivers in the same reservation that share the same waiver code as the related activity.

• Sending from Membership:
  • Includes all waivers on the same member contact with status Issued, whether they are linked to the client or to the membership.

Sign Group waivers with POS command GroupWaiver

Support was added for signing waivers associated with a group reservation. The GroupWaiver POS command can be added as a button to the Group Card menu on the activity host panel and opens up a list of the group related waivers for review or signature.

Show waiver status on group reservations on the Bookings host

The Bookings template was enhanced to display waiver status information directly on group reservations when waivers are associated with the group.

This update improves visibility and alignment with BackOffice behavior, allowing users to quickly identify waiver status without navigating away from the reservation.

Open waiver signature page from matrix

You can now directly open the Waiver Signature page from the Matrix.

Sign Waiver option was added to the right-click context menu for reservations with a waiver in Requested status.

 

Fashion

Update Variant Weight from Variant Weight Curve

A new Update Variant Weight action has been added to the Variant Weight Curve page. This action allows you to update the Default Variant Weight for Variant Frameworks whose dimensions are assigned with the selected Variant Weight Curve.

You can choose whether the Default Variant Weight should be updated only at the Item Variant Framework level, or across all levels, including Variant Framework Base Value, Variant Framework, and Item Variant Framework.

As part of the update process, the Dimension Weight and Variant Weight of the affected item variants are automatically recalculated based on the updated weights.

For more information see How to: Assign Variant Weight Curve to Variant Framework in the LS Central Help.

Online Help page in Flare

/Content/LS-Retail/Replenishment/Manual-Replenishment/Variant-Weight-Curve/How-To-Assign-Variant-Weight-Curve-To-Variant-Framework.htm

73530 Enhancements were introduced to the Planned Cross Docking, Buyer's Push, and Allocation Plan features

 

Bottom-up Distribution with Dimension Pattern

• The bottom-up distribution approach with Dimension Pattern was extended to Planned Cross Docking and Buyer's Push.This allows items and their variants to be allocated to stores based on a Dimension Pattern, reflecting the expected demand distribution across variants.
• This feature can be enabled by activating the Enable Dimension Pattern setting on the Allocation Plan Cross Docking and Buyer's Push pages.
• For more information see How to: Create Planned Cross Docking and Buyer's Push in the LS Central Help.

Improved Date Handling for Transfer Orders and Sales Orders

• Date handling was improved for Transfer Orders and Sales Orders when created from Planned Cross Docking, Buyer's Push, and Allocation Plans (Defined and Distribute). You can now specify the posting date used for these orders instead of always defaulting to the Purchase Order date or the work date.
• To do this, fill in the Transfer/Sales Order Date field that has been added to the respective pages.
• For more information see How to: Create Planned Cross Docking, How to: Create a Buyer's Push, How to: Create an Allocation Plan Defined, and How to: Create an Allocation Plan Distribute in the LS Central Help.

Faster Dimension Pattern Assignment Across Variant Frameworks

You can now assign a Dimension Pattern to multiple Variant Frameworks at once using the new Assign to Variant Frameworks and Assign to All Variant Frameworks actions available on the Dimension Pattern Document page.

The Assign to Variant Frameworks action opens a list of available Variant Frameworks that contain the associated Variant Dimension 2. From this list, you can select the specific Variant Frameworks to which the Dimension Pattern should be assigned.

Alternatively, the Assign to All Variant Frameworks action automatically assigns the selected Dimension Pattern to all available and eligible Variant Frameworks.

The assigned Dimension Pattern is added to the Variant Dimension Pattern Link of the Variant Frameworks.

For more information see How to: Assign Dimension Pattern to Items and Stores in the LS Central Help.

Online Help page in Flare

/Content/LS-Retail/Replenishment/Dimension-Pattern/How-To-Assign-Dimension-Pattern-To-Items-And-Stores.htm

New Brand Table for Items

A new LSC Brand table has been introduced and added as a field on Item. A brand can be set up on the Brands page and assigned to an item through the Retail Item card.

POS 

Show item image down to variant in data grids

Showing item variant pictures in data grids is now supported, using the ITEM-IMG Source Expr. ID.

Update POS Card Entry.Transaction Type from being an Option field to an Enum

POS Card Entry.Transaction Type field is now an enum field. Use LSC Card Transaction Type enum when using that field.

Update border settings visibility

Border settings on UI control cards were simplified and moved under the General settings section.

Remove "Show Border" option on UI controls

Show Border field on POS Controls is marked obsolete and is no longer used.

In previous versions, to show a border around POS Controls, two fields had to be changed:

• Show Border set to true and
• Border Width with a higher value than 0.
• Now Border Width is only used to show or hide the border.

Obsolete EFT related POS Commands and the functions called by them

The following card operation can not be used in current Card payment functionality. The functionality was removed and the POS Command was obsoleted and will be removed in a future release:

• CARDTYPE - Displayed a numpad, asked the user to select either 0 or 1 (debit or credit).
• CONTROL - Allowed the user to enter manually an authentication code.
• EXDATE - Asked the user to enter an expiry date in the format DDMM and validates that it is correct.
• CARDEXTRA - Allowed the user to enter a number that was added to the card entry.
• PASSWORD - Displayed a numpad where the user could enter a number for a password to continue with a card operation.

Card operation CARDT_K was obsoleted but will be available in the next two major versions.

• CARDT_K - Verifies that a payment line - that has a tender type Function::Card - already has a card type. If not the Card type that is a parameter for the operation is set on the tender line.

Tip and Surcharge customization access points changed in card payment functionality

• All functionality around calculations and creation of income/expense lines for tips and/or surcharge amounts around card payments was removed from POS EFT Utility functionality to it's own implementation.
• All functions within the POS EFT Utility implementation now returns an error if used but the IEFTUtility interface remains as it was, but the POS will not call these functions anymore:
  • AllwaysIncludeTips
  • AskToIncludeTips
  • GetTip
  • ProcessServiceChargeAmount
  • ProcessServiceChargeAmount
  • SetSurcharge

• If functions ProcessServiceChargeAmount or ProcessServiceChargeAmount were implemented in a custom implementation then adding a new enum value and implementation to LSC Card Tips Line Creation is needed where these functions are now implemented.
• The option to select to use the customization instead of the default functionality is called Tip Line Creation Method and is on the Terminal card in the EFT fast tab.
• If SetSurcharge was only implemented then event OnBeforeProcessSurchargeAmount should be implemented where the Surcharge amount can be set for the rest of the Service charge functionality.

• AllwaysIncludeTips, AskToIncludeTips functions have been replaced by the LSC Tips Handling enum which can be set on the POS Terminal Card.

• GetTip was deprecated and POS Card Entry.Tip value should be used to view/retrieve the tip amount that was returned by the Payment terminal.

 

The default implementation of the LSC Card Tips Line Creation also has events to give access points for customizations if a new enum implementation is not required.

Ability to display the live scale weight in the POS

Six new POS Tags were added to show information on the Current (Live) Weight of a Scale that supports Live Weight Events.

• <#scaleliveweight>
  • shows the live weight from the scale.
• <#scaletareweight>
  • shows the live tare weight from the scale
• <#scaleminweight>
  • shows the minimum weight of the scale
• <#scalemaxweight>
  • shows the maximum weight of the scale
• <#scaleweightunit>
  • shows the weight unit from the scale (g, kg, oz, lb)
• <#scaleliveprice>
  • shows the calculated Sales Price from the scale.

Add POS Lookup to refund card payment functionality

When doing a referenced refund in the POS, a Lookup panel is now displayed in the POS to list the card payments that are available for a refund. If a card payment has already been partially refunded the remaining amount available for refunding is displayed in the list instead of the full original amount.

Returning a scale item, line should be marked as "Manually weighted item"

When returning a scale item the item is now automatically marked as Manually weighted item.

Add option to manually run Card Slip Text Cleanup from List Page

From the POS Card Print Log page Cleanup (Purge) of the EFT Card Slips can be run.

• Clean will only Delete the Card Print Text lines that have been Printed and marked to be Discarded after Printer.

Ad Hoc Cleanup during Posting/Printing has also changed so that a Temporary Table is used for the Card Print Text lines.

This means that no data is deleted from SQL table in the most common situation where Card Slips are printed and then discarded.

If the Card Slip is not Printed for some reason (user selection, settings or error) the system moves the Print Text lines to persistent storage.

Implement POS lights following the states of the POS

State-based light control

• POS lights automatically respond when the transaction state changes (for example, Start or Sales).

Simple, centralized configuration

• Each POS state can be configured to trigger a specific light behavior:
  • Off
  • On
  • Blink
  • Alarm

Built-in configuration safeguards

• Blink and Alarm modes include validation to ensure settings are complete and consistent.
• When switching modes, unused settings are cleared automatically to avoid misconfiguration.

New configuration page

• A new list page allows partners and customers to:
  • View existing POS light configurations
  • Create or adjust configurations per device and POS state
  • Generate recommended default configurations

Default Behavior

• A small starter set of default configurations is provided (currently for START and SALES states).
• Defaults are added only if no configuration already exists, ensuring existing setups are not changed.

Note:

• If no configuration exists for the current POS state and light device, no light action is performed.
• The light device used is determined by the active hardware profile.

Touch screen option for POS that reactes instantly to touchstart events

An URL parameter was added for the POS, &ls-_pointermode=1 which enables a different click-behavior on touch-devices.

• It should be more tolerant to small finger movements, but it is not enabled for scrollable controls (Buttons on multi-page Menus or Datagrid cells/lines), since it could trigger accidental clicks.
• The parameter is intended to try on devices with hard-to-click buttons.
• Provide feedback through the support channel if you try this on a touch-device and it solves or does not solve the issue. We might refine the behavior in a future release depending on feedback, or add more modes for A/B testing.

If no EFT device is configured then Card operation should display a msg to user

If there is a printer configured on the Hardware Profile but no EFT device then the POS would initiate a card payment but error out with a message that did not tell the user what the issue is. Now the card payment is not initiated and the user is told that there is no EFT device on the hardware profile that is on the terminal

EFT: ManualEntry POS Command

New POS Command EFT_MANUAL_ENTRY was added. Pressing the command flags that the next EFT Request should have the ManualEntry property of the Request set to True.

A POS Tag EFT_MANUAL_ENTRY is also set to (Manual) when Set, then set back to empty "" after the Request.

The POS Tag is then added to the CARD payment button description like so ("Card <#EFT_MANUAL_ENTRY>") that will then indicate that the ManualEntry flag was set on/off.

Save IDs.TransactionDateTime value to CardEntry. EFT Trans. Date

When creating referenced return values the CardEntry.EFT Trans. Date value is used but the POS was saving the date/time value to EFT Trans. Time field in Card Entry. The POS now saves the datetime value of the purchase (received from LS Pay) to both fields.

Replenishment

Auto-Resume Support for Replenishment Scheduler Jobs

When a Replenishment calculation is executed by a scheduler job, the system now automatically saves progress at defined checkpoints, and it is possible to configure the job to automatically resume from the last saved checkpoint in case of a failure or interruption. This feature is supported for Out-of-Stock, Replenishment Item Quantity (RIQ), Replenishment Journal, and Redistribution Journal calculations.

 

The checkpoint information is stored in the Scheduler Job State table. This information is available on the Scheduler Job List page, where you can view details such as Last Processed Code/No., No. of Records to Process, and No. of Processed Records. Drilling down into any of these fields opens the Scheduler Job States page, which provides more detailed information about the job’s status and execution progress.

 

For Out-of-Stock and RIQ calculations, checkpoint information is updated based on the items processed, so if the job resumes, it continues from the last processed item. For Replenishment Journal and Redistribution Journal calculations, the checkpoint information is updated based on the Replenishment Templates processed, allowing the job to resume from the last processed template.

 

Note: To enable Scheduler Job State updates and the auto-resume feature for Replenishment Journal calculation, the scheduler job must be assigned with codeunit 10012276 "LSC Replen. Automatic Run".

For more information see Automatic Resume of Replenishment Calculation in the LS Central Help.

 

Forecasting Planned Sales Demand from Historical Periodic Discounts

You can now let the system automatically suggest sales demand for your upcoming periodic discounts, using the actual sales performance data from past discounts. Based on this forecast, Planned Sales Demand lines can be created and applied in the Replenishment Journal calculation, ensuring sufficient stock is ordered to meet the expected increase in demand during the discount period.

 

This can be achieved with the following processes:

1. Calculating the actual discount performance of historical periodic discounts
   • The system calculates the average daily sales of the items during both discount and non-discount periods, and compare them to identify the demand increase factor.

2. Linking a new periodic discount to historical discounts
   • A new discount can be linked to one or more historical discounts, and you can assign a weight to each link to determine how much each historical discount influences the planned demand calculation.

3. Calculating the planned discount performance of new periodic discounts
   • The system uses the actual performance data from the linked historical periodic discounts to calculate the planned discount performance. The results show the expected daily sales of the items during the discount period, along with the projected increase in sales quantity and the percentage change in demand compared to non-discounted sales.

4. Creating Planned Sales Demand lines based on the forecast
   • Link the new periodic discount to a Replen. Planned Event and Planned Sales Demand lines can be created based on the calculated planned discount performance results.

These features are supported for periodic discounts of type Discount Offer, Multibuy, and Mix & Match.

 

For more information see Forecast Planned Sales Demand from Historical Periodic Discounts in the LS Central Help.

Item Distribution List: Centralized Management for Item Distribution Records

• The Item Distribution List was introduced, which provides a centralized overview of Item Distribution records for all items. This page allows you to easily review, filter, and maintain Item Distribution records across multiple items in one place.

Bulk Viewing and Updating of Item Distribution Records

• The Item Distribution List enables you to view and update Item Distribution records for multiple items simultaneously.
• You can apply filters such as stores, item categories, or attributes to narrow down the records you want to work with. The Update Rule allows you to define the scope of field changes, specifying whether an update should apply to the current record, marked records, or filtered records.

Maintenance of Item Store Records

• You can choose to display the Replen. Item Store Recs subpage within the Item Distribution List. The list also includes functionality to automatically maintain Item Store Records when changes are made to Item Distribution records. For example, when an Item Distribution record is created for an item and store, the corresponding Item Store Records can be automatically created. You can configure whether records should be created per location, variant, or both location and variant.
• For an item with variants, the system can also automatically break down Reorder Point and Maximum Inventory values across variants based on Variant Weight or Dimension Pattern. The resulting values are then applied to the corresponding Item Store Records.
• These processes can be configured to work in real time, or triggered manually using the available action buttons in the Item Distribution List.

Quick Access to Related Information

• The Item Distribution List includes various actions that allow you to quickly navigate to related information associated with an Item Distribution record. This makes it easier to review and maintain related data without leaving the list page.
• From the list, you can directly open pages such as the Retail Item Card, Replenishment Control Data, Dimension Pattern Document, and other related pages.

For more information see Item Distribution List in the LS Central Help.

Replenishment, Assortment Suggestion

Gains & losses estimation were added to the Replen. Assortment Suggestion Worksheet. Based on the current and the proposed Replen. Assortment Groups for each item, the program figures out the current and the expected number of sales locations. The gains and losses estimation is the difference in total daily sales when the number of sales locations changes.

On the worksheet, you can view the summary of how many items are currently in each Replen. Assortment Groups and how many items are going in and out of each group after the changes are applied.

Additionally, you can open the Analysis view and perform further analysis with the data.

 

For more information, see Assortment Suggestion in the LS Central Help.

Assortment Suggestion

Create Hierarchy Nodes from Existing Hierarchy Node Links

You can now easily detach a Hierarchy Node Link (such as an Item, Store, or Store Group) from its current Hierarchy Node and create it as an independent node.

Simply select an existing link and use the Create as Node action to create a new Hierarchy Node.

• The new node is created as a sibling of the currently selected node, and the selected Item, Store, or Store Group is moved from its original node to the newly created Hierarchy Node.

Assign Replenishment Transfer Rule to Multiple Items at Once

You can now assign a Replen. Transfer Rule to multiple items at once using the new Assign to Items action available on the Replen. Transfer Rule page.

• The action opens a report where you can define item filters to determine which items are updated with the selected Replen. Transfer Rule. By default, the report uses the filters specified in the Item Filters section of the Replen. Transfer Rule page, but they can be modified before running the update.

For more information see Replenishment Transfer Rule in the LS Central Help.

Deletion of Item Import Files Now Enabled

It is now possible to delete imported item files data for Item Import Journal from the Item Import Files page.

Enhancements to Replenishment Forward Sales Profile

Two enhancements were introduced to the Replenishment Forward Sales Profile functionality to improve forward factor calculations.

• Defining a Maximum Forward Factor
  • When using the Replenishment Forward Sales Profile to further refine average usage calculations based on previous period's sales pattern, you can now define a Maximum Forward Factor.
  • If the calculated forward factor exceeds the specified maximum value, the system applies the defined limit instead.
  • The Maximum Forward Factor can be configured at the following levels:
    • Item (Replenishment Control Data)
    • Item Store Record
    • Replenishment Data Profile

The Replenishment Control Data List has also been extended to support the update of the Maximum Forward Factor field.

For more information see Calculation Type – Average Usage in the LS Central Help.

 

Location Fallback for Forward Factor Calculation

When a Replenishment Forward Sales Profile has its data restricted to Location Code, it is now possible to configure a fallback mechanism for forward factor calculation. If no sales data exists for the item at the current location, the system can fall back to using historical sales data from all locations to calculate the forward factor.

• This option can be enabled by activating the Location Fallback setting on the Replen. Forw Sales Profile page.

 

For more information see Forward Sales Profile (Store/Warehouse) in the LS Central Help.

Setup for automatically allocate enough tables for guests

A new setting, On Creating Walk-in Reservations, is available on the Dining Area Card and applies to the Allocation Panel.

• When enabled, creating a walk-in reservation, automatically opens allocation mode so the user can pick tables for the guests.
• The same behavior occurs when a user clicks a dining table to register a walk-in and guest count exceeds the dining table's capacity:
  • The system enters allocation mode and the user selects additional dining tables until capacity is met.
  • The allocation process can be ended at any time.
