Settlement Validation has been provided to avoid stock mismatch between POS and HO

Module:

Ginesys Launchpad - POS Settlements

Enhancement Summary:

A validation has been imposed in daily store wise settlement at HO to avoid the stock mismatch between POS and HO. This validation works on entry-type wise stock movement data - to exemplify, it takes into account the number of items going out from the stock through POS Bills etc. and the stock replenished or coming in from GRCs etc.  If any stock mismatch is found, the settlement will be restricted in HO and the troubleshooting can be performed at the same point. If any mismatch occurs the user will be alerted of the mismatch in the HO settlement window.

The user will have to log a support ticket and get the data cross-checked by Ginesys technical team in such cases.

Scenario:

Suppose in a store, 2 GRC (stock-in of 70 units) and 5 POS bills (stock-out of 30 units) have been generated at a particular date. The record of this stock movement of +70 and -30 should be present in HO database at the time of Settlement from POS at day end. However, if a particular POS Bill is missed out in sync cycle before settlement, correct stock data will not be available in HO database. After this update, if the stock movement data does not match, HO settlement will be restricted and user will be asked to raise a ticket with Ginesys to check out the mismatch.

Some changes related to E-Invoice which might impact your current working

New policy introduction for allowing POS bills with GSTIN tagged to the customer - Some clients may have wanted to restrict B2B bills from POS in order to avoid the complexity of generating E-Invoice from POS locations, so we had introduced this policy.

The policy name is "Allow POS Bill for a customer with GSTIN details", by default it will be set as Yes, this can be managed from Head office - Policy management. If this is set to No, the cashier will be prompted to proceed with preparation of the bill without tagging the customer's GSTIN.

Due to this, we have applied a restriction in POS bill modification & recalculate tax, i.e., a bill which has been prepared as a B2B bill, it cannot be changed to B2C and vice versa.
