About This Release
Build no. - 792
Released - December 20, 2018
This version is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, build no. 26413
Note:
The 64-bit client is the default client when opening the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.
The POS for the Windows client is only supported to run on the 32-bit client, which can be set up in the LS Nav on Business Central Start tool for the POS.
The following is a list of changes and key features in LS Nav on Business Central (13.01).
New or Enhanced Features
Retail
BackOffice
Find and View Customer Orders
Users can now find Customer Orders and view their status using filters. The Navigate Customer Orders page shows a list of both Posted and Unposted customer orders in the same view. This can be very convenient, for example when searching for all Customer Orders linked to a specific name or address, no matter if they are open or posted.
Clienteling
Selecting Retail Hierarchy in Clienteling
When multiple Retail hierarchies are set up in a store, it is now possible to select which hierarchy to use in Clienteling setup in the POS. The available hierarchies are displayed on the top level of a brick view, and the POS user can easily select which hierarchy to use.
LS Hardware Station
LS Hardware Station Device Configurations in LS Nav
The configuring of all devices in LS Hardware Station, except the LS Pay EFT plugin, is now done in LS Nav instead of the Hardware Station Management Portal. This makes it easier for the user to have an overview of all settings in LS Nav.
Sharing a Scanner in LS Hardware Station
The LS Hardware Station can be used by a number of POSs at a time, and the Hardware Station handles the sharing of the devices. A change has been made to how the Hardware Station handles the sharing of a scanner: a POS can now request the use of a scanner, when it is already in use by another POS.
Allowing LS Nav 2016 winPOS to Use EFT Connection in LS Hardware Station
The LS Nav winPOS version 2018 can use the EFT connection through the LS Hardware Station. An FOB has been available for LS Nav 2017 to add this connection and now an FOB is also available for LS Nav 2016.
New POS Commands
Two new POS commands have been added:
- MOBILESCAN - opens a device camera for scanning in the LS Nav App on a mobile device.
- HARDWAREPROFILE - lets the user change hardware profiles.
Replenishment
Improvements on the Replenishment Data Control List Page
The Add Locations drop-down menu in the Replen. Item Store Recs FastTab has been replaced with a new action, Add Locations/Variants.
This new action opens a new Location and Variant Selection page which lets the user easily set up and create Replenishment Item Store Records by selecting the locations and item variants for the selected item.
For more information see Replenishment Control Data List in the LS Nav Help and this instructional video.
Web POS
LS Nav App iOS Version Supports the Use of Mobile Camera
In the LS Nav App iOS version, it is now possible to use the camera of the mobile device to scan barcodes or QR codes. This functionality was previously only available in the Android version.
Kitchen Display System (KDS)
KDS Printer Error on POS
If there is an error (paper out or some other issues) on the printers in KDS, it is now possible to show that error on the POS to notify the user so he or she can take appropriate action.
This only works for printers that are KDS printers.
Fixed Issues
Fashion
Variant Values Sorted by Logical Order
The Variant Values and Variant Base Values in the Variant Framework and Variant Framework Base Values pages are now sorted by logical order.
Replenishment
Order Multiple Not Working Correctly when Assigned with 1 (One)
An error in the Purchase Replenishment Journal caused an incorrect rounding of the proposed unit of the item, when the Purchase Order Delivery was set as To Store and Order Multiple to 1 (One). This has now been fixed.
Vendor No. not Filled in the Replenishment Journal
An inconsistency in whether the Vendor No. field in the Replenishment Journal Line and the Replenishment Journal Details pages was blank or not, could result in a Replenishment Journal Detail Line to be incorrectly deleted after the order creation. This has now been fixed.
Web Service 2
An error that caused the Publisher & Subscriber action in the Web Requests page to fail has been fixed.
