Inventory Flags: Originally intended to meet California hazardous product receipt requirements, this new feature can also be used for a wide range of informational and promotional purposes, allowing text or images to print on receipts to identify items (hazardous item flags, non-returnable items, etc.) so stores can highlight products in ways their customers will find helpful. .

Vendor-specific sheet labels: Vendor labels provide a quick way to print preset sheet labels for ACE, Do It Best (DIB), Orgill and True Value vendors. Vendor labels must only be used with a laser printer and must use the multi-purpose feeder tray. Instruction on how to use Vendor Labels can be found here.

ACE BOGO: This feature supports Types 2, 3, 4 and 10 ACE BOGO (Buy One Get One) promotions. BOGO promotions typically require either a loyalty number or a coupon, and examples are provided for each scenario.

Do it Best Inventory API integration: Allows Do it Best-aligned store inventory stock status to be instantly accessible on the Do it Best retail site so potential customers can see real-time price and quantity information when shopping online.

Markup or Margin over the highest of Average/Market Cost: This feature allows a price to be set for commodities based on the higher of the relevant costs, ensuring the profit on the items can meet expectations when costs are fluctuating. In order to avoid underpricing inventory items, we have added 2 pricing types (“X”: markup and “B”: margin) that will perform a margin or markup calculation using the highest for the 2 costs: market cost or average cost (weighted average cost). These new pricing types can also be used as a price matrix which acts as a multiplier rather than a markup or margin.

Kiosk Pricing Options: We added the ability to define a pricing template account to when a customer scans an item on a Smart Kiosk, providing flexibility in default store price levels. Select which pricing level is used in Branches>Misc tab.

Consolidated Purchasing Transfer: We added the ability to identify overages between branches that can fulfill quantity needs between branches rather than ordering from a vendor. If the “Calculate Transfer Quantities” option is selected, the transfer amounts between branches for each item entered in the grid will be calculated. Allowed transfer quantities are based on the over/under quantity and are calculated from the average daily usage. Pending transfers are calculated by transferring items from the branch with the largest overage to the branch with the greatest shortage and work their way down until either value is reduced to zero (0).

Order Maximum (Florida Order-Level Sales Tax) :Order Maximum is a cap on a sales tax for a particular level. For example, in Florida, some counties have a maximum tax for certain types of purchases; however, the state tax is still required. Tax locations for Florida may therefore require more than one defined level (i.e. State and County).
