Profit Pilot - Release Notes, Version 10.12.5

Issue # 1

Cause:
If Queue Transactions is not enabled, the POS will not send a ModifyTransaction message to the Wash Pilot.

Effect:
Washes are listed on Tunnel Tab in the Point of Sale as "Unpaid" after it is paid for.

Solution:
POS Software update 10.12.5 will no longer require that "Queue Transactions" be enabled in order to send a modify message to the Wash Pilot.

Issue #2

Cause:
The Dollar Over Base (DOB) Report is including coupons that were applied to transactions that didn't have any "over base" items. The calculation problem related to item discounts being applied twice. 
Effect:
On the DOB report, the individual item "DOB" amounts are not calculated correctly.  If an item is discounted, the total amount of discounts will be added on top of the correct "DOB" amount. This will result in the "DOB" amount being larger than the "Net Sales" total.

Solution:

1. An additional field was added to the department summaries to include each item's base price.
2. Gross Sales was replaced with Pre-Discount Sales.
3. The Dollar Over Base summary block was updated to include the Pre-Discount Dollar Over Base value.
4. The DOB running calculation was changed to track pre-tax totals and removed summary block calculations that added discounts again.
5. Discount Block on the DOB report displayed a summary of all coupons applied to all items for the given greeter.  The trans_promotion record makes it difficult to differentiate coupons on DOB trans_items.  To work around the problem, a second totals row Discounts Applied to DOB Items is added to show the total discounts applied to DOB items.

Issue #3

Cause:
Instead of applying a coupon once per line item, it is adding the value of the coupon once per line item on the entire transaction.
Effect:
In the Back Office, the redemption setting "Once/Line Item" for coupons is not producing the result it should. 
EXAMPLE:
if the current transaction has 4 line items and you add a "Once/Line Item" coupon that is worth $3, the value of the coupon on that transaction will be $12.
Solution:
The discount is now only being applied to one item in the transaction. The behavior was changed so that it would only apply on either the selected item or the first applicable item. In order to properly configure this follow the steps below:

1. Login to the Back Office
2. Click on Promotions
3. Click Coupon/Discount in the pink action box on the left
4. Configure your promotions as required. Click Submit to save all changes.

Issue #4

Cause:
The tax for the original item added is recalculated once the customer is attached.
Effect:
The new tax amount does not properly apply the discount. The previous update required the existence of default promotions associated with a customer.  If no promotion is found, the tax_exempt process is not applied to all items.
Solution:
If the customer being added to the transaction is a Tax Exempt house account, the tax is not recalculated to apply the exemption.  The final total for the transaction includes tax for the discounted price of the original taxed item. When a customer was added, tax was recalculated before default coupons were applied, this caused tax to be calculated on the full amount of the discounted items.  We updated the value of the coupon to not be more than the transaction total.
 Steps to reproduce:

1. Add a taxed item to the transaction
2. Add a discount to the transaction
3. Add a Tax Exempt House Account to the transaction
