About This Release
Build no. -
Released - December 21, 2017
This version is built on Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017, build no. .
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 (10.10).
Retail:
Events in Hierarchies
New events have been added to Hierarchies.
POS: NAV Events Added to EPOS Controller
First Integration Events to POS Controller codeunits.
Replenishment: Retail Sales Budget Advanced Improvements
New Budget Type Introduced in Retail Sales Budget: Item Hierarchy
Item Hierarchy can now be selected as a Budget Type in Retail Sales Budget. When this type is selected, the user can assign an Item Hierarchy to the budget, and then perform planning for the items that are linked to the Hierarchy. The Hierarchy can be assigned with the new Hierarchy Code field introduced in the Retail Sales Budget page, and budget entries can then be created and maintained at item level.
Note: The Item Hierarchy must be set to Link Only Once for it to work with Retail Sales Budget.
Retail Sales Budget Functionality Improvements for Item Hierarchy Budget Type
The various functionalities on the Retail Sales Budget page, such as Calculate Budget from Child Budgets and Copy Budget, can now be used on an Item Hierarchy budget on the condition that the budgets involved are linked to the same Item Hierarchy. The Create Budget from Sales report has also been improved to work with the new Item Hierarchy budget type. The report will only create budget entries based on the historical sales data for items that belong to the Item Hierarchy currently assigned to the budget. Also, View Start Date has been added to the Retail Sales Budget page to let the user refresh the page with a specific start date.
For more information see Retail Sales Budgets in the LS Nav Online Help.

The calculation of the above fields can be performed manually with the Calculate Capacity action on the Store Capacity page, or automatically using the Scheduler Job with Job ID REPLEN-STORECAPACITY.

The Goal field has been renamed to Goal (weeks). The calculation of the fields can be performed manually with the Calculate Coverage action on the Stock Coverage page, or automatically using the Scheduler Job with Job ID REPLEN-STOCKCOVERAGE. The Location Code and Item Category Code fields on the page are now mandatory, and the Stock Coverage can be set up per item category or product group, as well as for a specific season. Furthermore, the Stock Coverage page can now be accessed from the MenuSuite LS Retail - Replenishment - General - Lists, Stock Coverage, as well as from the Retail Item Category, Retail Product Group, and Seasons page.

The report has been enhanced to calculate its Weekly Sales Qty. based on the new Number of Sales Days to Analyze field introduced in Replenishment Setup, if there is no From Date and To Date selected in the report's request page. Moreover, when the report is generated, only lines with matching Stock Coverage setup (that is, with matching Item Category or Product Group, and Location Code) found will be displayed, and the Total lines when the report is being displayed by Product Group or Item have been removed.

Fashion and Replenishment: Various Improvements
Store Group Setup Improvement
A new action, Store Setup, has been introduced to the Store Groups (10001397) page to improve the user experience when maintaining Store Groups and related Stores.
Purchase Replenishment Journal and Transfer Replenishment Journal Improvement
Three new actions have been added into the Purchase Replenishment Journal (10012205) and the Transfer Replenishment Journal (10012215),
- Replen. Item Quantities, has been introduced to the pages Purchase Replenishment Journal (10012205) and Transfer Replenishment Journal (10012215). This action opens the Replen. Item Quantities (10012218) page for the selected item. Furthermore, the actions on the Navigate menu have been rearranged.
- New actions, Delete all lines and Delete zero lines, have been introduced to the pages Purchase Replenishment Journal (10012205), Transfer Replenishment Journal (10012215) and Replen. Template List (10012202). These actions let the user quickly delete Journal Lines after the Replenishment calculation.
Scale Items
The Virtual Scale can now be configured to return lb, oz or g in addition to kg.
Store Inventory: New Worksheets Replace Instore Management Worksheets
InStore Management worksheets have been revised and replaced with Store Inventory worksheets. InStore worksheets are based on standard NAV objects and many unnecessary validations are run for each journal line that is entered. Sometimes, in large installations, this results in waiting in deadlocks. Now, however, LS Nav has Store Inventory Worksheets based in LS Nav's own object range where we have full control. Hopefully, this will make the system easier, faster, and simpler to use.
The new worksheets are used for inventory adjustments such as positive and negative adjustments, transfers, and exploding prepacks. There are also worksheets for counting, purchasing (+returns), label printing, stock requests, and price checking. Text files, for example from handheld devices, can be imported to any worksheet type.
LS Nav now offers Cycle count (Periodic count), a new type of counting. Cycle counts are normally done on a small section of the inventory, usually on a particular brand, type, or supplier's items and can be done during regular opening hours. It is possible to run multiple cycle counts at the same time (just make sure you do not have the same item in more than one count). The frequency of counting is set on an Item, Product Group, or Item category by selecting a Physical Inventory Counting Period.
In this version you can select if you want to keep on working in InStore Management or switch to Store Inventory, see the Store Inventory Setup page. The Mobile Inventory application for handhelds works with both versions.
Web POS: Version Check, JavaScript Add-In vs the Server
The WebPOS Add-in now verifies that the JavaScript Add-in is the same version as the Server Side objects/toolbox. This prevents users from using updated Toolbox components without updating the JavaScript Add-In.
Hospitality:
Printing Option Added to Hospitality Pages
A new drop-down menu, Printing, has been added to the Hospitality Items List and Card pages. The new option is available on the Navigate menu.
A new action, Extra Print Setup, has also been added to the Recipe List and Recipe Card pages.
Updating Recipe Cost
Clicking the Calc Standard Cost action on the Recipe Card now prompts the question: "Do you want to update recipe cost with unit cost from items".
A new action, Adjust Cost - Update Recipes, lets the user update all recipes for all or selected items with the new cost that is calculated from the Item Entries.
Retail Message Setup, New Check Box
A new check box, Retail Message in use, has been added to Retail Message Setup. If the check box is not selected, the Web Service is not called.
When Using Hospitality Type Without Service Flow, Error Has Been Fixed
It is no longer necessary to have a Service Flow for Hospitality Type.
When Using the Current Availability Function, Error Has Been Fixed
An error message was sometimes generated, if the Current Availability function was used while the POS was idle in the Dining Table Area panel. This has now been fixed.
Table Allocation V1.1, Online Help
The online help for Dining Table Allocation has been improved.
