New POS version 6.33 released on 5-20-05

POS version 6.33 can now be downloaded at the usual place http://keyhut.com/pos3.htm

Don't for get to read the "Excruciatingly detailed instructions on downloading this program for the first time or upgrading an existing version."

6.33 has a few minor bug fixes concerning an occasional 1¢ tax rounding error under unusual conditions with “included” tax and a couple of PIN number issues.

New features “B” us.

We have a snappy new feature for you. The new feature will add up items being rung up separately, if they are the exact same item, into one line on the sale instead using a different line for each item. For example if someone brings four identical cans of peas to your register and you scan them one at a time they will be rung into the sale on one line as 4 cans of peas instead of being run on four lines as 1 can of peas each. See receipt below…


<pre>OLD WAY
63414641 CAN OF PEAS 10 OZ. 1 .56
63414641 CAN OF PEAS 10 OZ. 1 .56
63414641 CAN OF PEAS 10 OZ. 1 .56
63414641 CAN OF PEAS 10 OZ. 1 .56
NEW WAY
63414641 CAN OF PEAS 10 OZ. 4 2.24</pre>

There are some rules for this to happen. When ringing up a new line, the program will only check the previous line for a match. For example, if you are ringing up an item into line 23 of the sale and the exact same item has already been rung up in line 17 of the sale, the new item will not be added to line 17. For two items to be considered the same, they must have the same stock number, description, price, and tax rate. “Tax rate” means not only the same rate but also the same line in the tax rate chart.

If you wish to sell several of the same item with a reduction on some of them but not on others you either must ring up a different item between the items with a reduction and the same item at the regular price, or you must ring up some of them, then the reduction, then the rest of them.
