System Updates

Update 1110 10 December 2024

The Stock Items sales tools are being upgraded to facilitate use of Retail Systems in shop environments. A new 'Shop System' menu item under Retail Systems which contains all the relevant facilities relating to Stock Items. New permission 536 applies to Shop System. All users and groups with existing permission 474 have been allocated 536. The Stock Items List and Stock Items Sales List have moved from Retail Systems to Shop System. The Stock Items list is now sorted by Cost (Revenue) Centre (to avoid issues with a single list containing thousands of items). A new Stock Item Search tab has been provided. A Detail page has been provided for each product (as the amount of detail stored is too great to show all on the overview list). The detail page includes all the existing deatils, plus a tab for Sales of that item, and a new tab for Barcodes. POS has been updated to accept barcode scanning of products. A product can have multiple barcodes. More than one product can have the same barcode (eg for products that are customised on-site). When a barcode is scanned that applies to more than one product, the POS shows images of the products to the clerk so that they can pick the appropriate one. Further work will take place over the next few weeks in response to demand from railways to expand this part of the Retail System. Thank you to everyone who gives feedback to HOPS to steer its development for the benefit of all railways.
