470 POS Site Wise Opening Credit Note / Debit Note provision introduced

Module:

Ginesys Web - Admin - Utilities - Data Import
Retail Management - Setup - Opening - Opening Credit Note
Retail Management - Setup - Opening - Opening Debit Note

Enhancement Summary:

When an organization is migrating from another system, it generally has credit and debit notes which it has already issued to the retail customers. These can now be entered into the new Ginesys system through the Excel import utility. Process flow -

  1. Import credit/note debit note(s):
    • Two new Import Classes - POS Opening Debit Note and POS Opening Credit Note have been created for this purpose.
    • The imported credit or debit notes will be imported in an "unapproved" state, i.e., it is not final yet.

  2. Approving or deleting the imported note(s):
    • Go to the Opening Credit Note or Opening Debit Note menu.
    • Open the manage window and search for credit/debit notes.
    • Based on the app operation privilege, the user will be allowed to select the credit/debit notes and approve or delete it.
    • Once approved, the same get's synced to the store.

  3. Modifying the imported note(s): Using the import excel provision, if you re-specify the same credit/debit note number for the site, the note shall get updated.

  4. Reports:
    • Credit Note Analysis and Debit Note Analysis analytic report will be showing the opening credit/debit notes list as well. A new column called "ISOPENING" has been added to distinguish the notes.
    • The opening balance in Customer Outstanding Report will show the summation of the opening notes.

Important Notes:

  1. Once the credit/debit notes are approved, it cannot be reverted/deleted/modified. Be cautious before approving the same.
  2. The credit/debit note date shouldn't be greater than the operation start date of the store. For example, if the operation start date of the store is '10-SEP-18' then the credit/debit note date can be either '10-SEP-18' or before that date.
  3. Credit note expiry validation will work as per the policy setting and the credit note date.
  4. This provision is allowed only for the Local credit notes.
  5. This provision doesn't impact accounts opening balance. The credit note liability and debit note asset opening booking needs to be done using GL balance import only.

2539 Direct Inter Store Transfer between Managed Franchisee (Outright) Stores is now enabled

Module:

Retail Management - Setup - Site
POS - Back Office - Transaction - Goods Return

Enhancement Summary:

Sometimes the same outright customer may have multiple sites in the same state. But currently, to make store-to-store transfer between same franchise, the user has to implement transit-via Head-Office. There is financial impact of return and then sale at Head-Office end if done using transit-via. But after this update, they could make the transfer from one managed outright store to another managed outright store, provided they have the authorization/mapped in the replenishment source at the HO.

Important Notes:

  • Direct return is allowed only for the stores within same franchisee/customer.

  • Such transfers will be done similar to the consignment mode of return.
  • Both local, as well as Inter-state transactions, are allowed.

  • For franchisee to franchisee transfer the return rate basis will be "As per GRT Price List" only.
    Reason: Consider a scenario that -
    • HO sent goods to store with rate as 100.00/- and giving discount in term/charge as Rs. 20.00/- so net rate on which GST was charged is Rs. 80.00/-. However, the Item's rate from advice is Rs. 100.00/-
    • When goods are returned to head-office, system picks up rate as Rs. 100.00/- and puts in discount of Rs. 20.00/- at charge level. However, in case of store to store transfer, this will be done as a consignment transfer and so the discount charges won't be there. So return rate will be Rs. 100.00/-. This is objectionable.
    • To avoid such scenarios, we are assuming the rate to be against return price list only.

  • The last received price of the item will NOT be updated at the destination store for such transfers.
    Reason: Store to store return is done by franchise for stock management and return rate is not as per the actual rate being sent from Head-Office (refer earlier point), so the same shall not be considered while returning to head-office. For example, an Item was sent to a store from Head-Office at Rs. 100.00/-  where as store to store rate was Rs. 80.00/-,
    • So while returning goods to Head-Office, system will consider rate as Rs. 100.00/- only.
    • In case, the items were never received from head-office and was directly received from some other store, the system will never consider that store's sent rate. System will then calculate default return rate (existing flow).

3362 EMR - Ginesys POS process flow updated for loyalty partners who do not have shadow concept

Module:

POS - Normal POS

POS - Collection Centre

Enhancement Summary:

Ginesys loyalty had a concept of Shadow Points implemented for proper handling of loyalty points. But some of our loyalty partners have a different system and do not employ the concept of shadow points. So now Ginesys has updated its POS process flow for smoothening the interface with third party loyalty providers.

The following changes have been made - 

  1. Instead of the Third Part Loyalty Redemption option in the Customer menu (F3), now the MoP window will have 2 buttons - Apply Point Redemption and Apply Coupon Redemption.
  2. Clicking on the Apply Point Redemption button the Point Redemption window is opened. Similarly, when Apply Coupon Redemption button is clicked, the Coupon window is opened.

    Important information

    Note: If the Apply Coupon.... button is clicked first, there is a message to prompt the user to confirm that he wants to use the coupon only because once coupon redemption process is requested points cannot be  redeemed in the same bill.

  3. If both Point and Coupon redemption is to be done, then Points redemption has to be done before Coupon redemption.
  4. It is now mandatory to have proper internet connection during sending redemption request and bill save. Otherwise application of redemption cannot be done. However Retry option during bill save has been allowed, otherwise bill can be saved by clearing the applied point and coupon redemption.

3891 Restrict POS bill return of POS customer with GSTIN

Module:

Retail Management - Setup - Master Policy
POS - Administration - Policy - Master policy
POS - Normal POS
POS - Collection Center
POS - Back Office - POS control - Bill modification

Enhancement Summary:

We received alot of return to restrict return against B2B transactions done from the store end as 'GST credit notes' are not issued from store.

So a check has been put in the system that if the buying party is having GSTIN tagged to it, the system would restrict return of item in the POS. The following enhancements have been done  -

  1. A new master policy has been added in the Deliver Slip and POS bill section; Allow POS return for a customer with GSTIN details - by default it would be enabled and will have to be disabled by user as required.

    Note: To circumvent and make a return following processes exist -

    • Make an adhoc return and issue a credit note (no customer tagged).
    • Make another bill with same customer tagged without GSTIN.

    Note: Using this process, the customer will not receive any credit note with GST details on it. So the confusion will be avoided.

  2. During POS Bill Modification tagging of GSTIN customer is not allowed if the bill is having any return items in it and the policy value is disallowed.
