About This Release
Build no. – 396
Released – March 9, 2017
This version is built on Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017, build no. 13682.
Note:
The 64-bit client is now the default client when opening NAV.
In this version the POS is only supported to run on the 32-bit Dynamics NAV Windows client. We recommend setting up the 32-bit client in the LS Nav Start tool for the POS.
The following is a list of changes and key features in LS Nav 2017 (10.02).
Hospitality POS: New Rush Option to Create Rush Orders for KDS
A RUSH option is now available in the Send to KDS - CONFIRM window. This option gives any KOT (Kitchen Order Ticket) top priority when it is sent to the KDS. You can also RUSH a KOT that has already been sent to the KDS, by pressing the Rush KOT button on the KDS Order Kitchen Status panel. This ticket then becomes the first ticket in the KOT queue.
Hospitality POS: Time Registration Error Corrected
It is now possible to call the Time Registration command (SHOWPANEL Parameter #TIMEREGROSTER) from the Hospitality Pre-start Panel. The commands STAFF_ENTRY and STAFF_EXIT can also be entered.
Expeditor Bump Printing
When you configure KDS, you can now set up expeditor bump printing, if you want KOTs to be printed at the same time they are bumped from the KDS Expeditor display station.
Web POS Version 1.0 Now Available
The Web POS module, version 1.0, is now available in LS Nav. This is a low footprint POS that runs in a web browser.
The Web POS 1.0 is a production ready version for new installations that use EPSON EPOSPrintAPI for printing and scanning (OPOS devices not supported). Scanning is also available via keyboard input. The Web POS is feature complete for retail.
The Web POS is compatible with and tested on the latest versions of IOS 10, Chrome, and iPad Air 2.
Known issues:
- In order to modify the appearance of the POS you will still need to use the Windows client to run some of the back-office pages and Design Mode.
- Voiding posted transactions will cause an error in a data grid that crashes the POS.
- Buttons with an access restriction are not “grayed out”. The system will show an error when trying to use a COMMAND that is restricted to the user; however, the POS will not gray the button out.
Issues With the Functions Insert Web POS Requests and Insert Inventory Mgmt Requests
Running the Insert Web POS Requests and Insert Inventory Mgmt Requests functions in the Web Service Setup deletes some manually added App_ID nodes in the Demo Data.
Please note that if you run these two functions, you will have to add again the App-ID nodes to requests:
- WEB_POS_GET_DEVICEID
- WEB_POS_SET_DEVICEID
- IM_GET_SETUP_DATA
New LS Font Added
LS3 is a new font that has been added to the LS Nav system fonts. This is an addition to the LS1 and LS2 fonts. LS3 includes many icons that can be used by the POS for buttons.
Included with the font is a PDF sheet with an overview of the icons, see an example here: LS3.
