NEW IN RELEASE 4.0
Geocoding for Avatax
Geocoding for Avatax enables SuitePOS Sales and Returns to automatically calculate tax based off the device's location (versus the more static POS Settings record). For example, if you are in one state at 10.00am, that state sales tax is automatically used. If you then go to another state or district, then that new sale tax will be automatically be used.
This is a powerful feature for retailers with pop-up stores and/or field sales representatives that are fluid and constantly moving around from location to location. At the same time, sales tax compliance is fully assured by Avatax.
Support for Dark Mode and UI changes
SuitePOS now fully supports Dark Mode in iOS. This feature is very useful in dimly lit situations or when you want to increase battery time (up to 30%) on mobile devices. SuitePOS automatically respects whatever settings (light or dark mode) you have enabled on the iOS device.
In addition, we have tweaked some UI icons to make them snappier and clearer.
Avatax Exemptions and Certificates
For retailers that have the Avatax Module, SuitePOS now supports Avatax Exemptions and Certificates in order to determine if your customer is taxable, not taxable or taxed at a specific rate.
Automatic Surcharges
It is now possible to configure terminals to automatically add in surcharges to the cart on checkout. This is useful for things like COVID PPE Fees or Public Improvement Fees (PIF). When enabled, on submit of a sale, this fee is now automatically and shown on the receipt. The feature can be enabled to include a surcharge that covers all items or just taxable items.
Quantity Pricing
Quantity Pricing is a NetSuite feature that permits different item prices based on quantities sold. Using the Advanced Promotion Module and when the feature in enabled on POS Settings, SuitePOS considers these price breaks, as the items are sold, by changing the unit price.
This is great for retailers that regularly sell individual items and say cases/crates of items. As an example, you can set up wine to be priced at 10.00 for each bottle. At 6 bottles, you could price at 9.00/bottle and at 12 (case), 8.3325 /bottle (99.99 a case).
Units of Measure
UOMs (Units of Measure) is a NetSuite feature that permits a single item SKU to be stocked and/or sold in various configuration Units. Using the Advanced Inventory Module and when the feature in enabled on POS Settings, SuitePOS allows you to dynamically select the UOM you need. It then uses this "conversion rate" to determine the new unit price.
This is great for customers to simply select a different UOM, on-the-fly, versus having to add/type (and remember) UOM's they are sold in.
As an example, a bottle of wine in-hand may be sold for $10. With UOM selection, the clerk can select a case (24), tell the shopper that it sells for $199.98, and easily sell the case, even though it isn’t in the shopper’s hands.
Allow Voids after 24hrs
You can now void all sales at anytime. Previously, the Void Button was not displayed 24hrs after a sale.
SDK's have been updated and some bugs have been fixed
Some third-party SDK's have been updated. Some of these updates include new SDK's from Star, Stripe, PayPal and Square. Various bugs have also been fixed.
