Version 1.8.25

What’s new in Gumtrue

This release is built around the till. You can now sell by weight, give quantity price breaks, keep price changes under a manager’s control and print receipts straight to a thermal printer. Alongside that, payment dates are now handled with much more care, and imports cope with real-world files.

Sell by weight at the till

• Sold by weight: Turn on Sold by weight for a unit (on the product’s Units of Measure tab), and tapping it at the till opens a weigh pad instead of adding one.
• Weigh pad: Type the weight to three decimal places, press Enter to add it, or Shift and Enter to add it and weigh the next crate straight away.
• Count the pieces too: Turn on Also count pieces and name them (for example Birds), and each weighing records how many went out, shown as “3 birds · 4.250 kg” on the cart and the receipt.
• A safety check on heavy weighings: Anything over 50 kg asks you to press Add again, so 4250 typed for 4.250 is caught before it goes on the sale.
• Running totals: The bottom of the cart adds up the total birds and kilos for the sale.

Price breaks that follow the sale

• Quantity price breaks: Give a price list item a lower price from a quantity, such as a cheaper kilo price from 10 kg, in the item’s Price breaks box.
• Saved with the item: Breaks are saved by Save changes or Add item, Cancel undoes them, and you can add them to a brand new item, including from Add Items with Review before add.
• Breaks count the whole sale: Three 4 kg crates reach a 10 kg break together, and every line of that product drops to the break price at once.
• On orders and invoices too: Lines picked from the product search re-price as the quantity changes, while a price you type yourself is never moved by a break.
• Pieces column: Orders and invoices show a pieces column after Qty whenever a line counts pieces, so the count travels from the order to the invoice.

Price changes, under control

• Change a price in one place: Tap a till line to set a new Price, a % off or an Amount off, with an optional reason such as Negotiated or Bulk.
• Manager approval by PIN: A cashier without permission to change prices taps Ask manager, and a manager types their till PIN on the same screen, with no need to log out.
• Your own till PIN: Managers set their PIN under Settings, Your account, on the Till PIN card.
• Minimum prices hold: A line priced below its minimum is shown in red and the sale cannot be charged until the price is put right.
• Your choice of strictness: Under Price changes at the till, choose to refuse any unapproved price change, or allow it and keep a record.

A faster till checkout

• Payment buttons: Set up your own buttons, such as “BML transfer”, that pick the payment method and the account in one tap, and use the arrow keys to move between them.
• Transfer references: Choosing a transfer jumps to the reference box, Enter completes the sale, and a reference already used on that account asks before taking it again.
• Fast checkout: Skip the Sale complete window so the next customer can be served straight away, with the change due and a Receipt button left at the bottom.
• Prices that include tax: Turn on Till prices include tax so the till charges exactly the price on your board.
• A price list for walk-ins: Choose which price list walk-in customers are charged from, everywhere in the till.
• Till sales in Daily Collections: A new Taken at filter shows Till only or Everything but the till, and is printed on the PDF.

Receipts, designed your way

• Receipt designer: Settings, Document templates has a new Till Receipt tab where you arrange sections, hide or duplicate them, pick a starting style and preview the receipt line by line.
• Paper and printer: Choose 80mm or 58mm paper, how the paper is cut and when the cash drawer opens.
• Print straight to the printer: With QZ Tray installed, the till prints receipts to a thermal printer with no print window, and can print as soon as a sale is done.
• Never stuck without a receipt: If the printer does not answer, the receipt goes to the print window instead and tells you why.

Payment dates you can trust

• Change dates in bulk: A Change dates button on Treasury, Payments moves the ticked payments, everything matching your filters, or a sheet with a new date per payment, always showing you a preview and asking for a reason first. Ask us to switch it on for your business.
• Payments filtered by round: The Payments list has a Round filter, showing payments from the customers on that round.
• Confirmed transfers keep their dates: Confirming waiting bank transfers now keeps each one’s own date by default, with One date for all when the money arrived on a known day.
• Cash-up payment dates: Payments added in a cash-up can carry the day the customer paid, shown as “Paid” with the date when it differs from the day it was keyed in.

Smaller things that save time

• Category import builds the main categories: A file of sub categories with their main category named beside them now creates any missing main category, and the preview lists the ones it will add.
• Clearer category import messages: Rows with two parents in one cell, a blank name or a category named as its own parent now say what to change.
• Bigger product imports: Product files with long descriptions now import, and a file that is still too big says how many rows per file will fit.
• Cash-up on a phone: The cash-up window shows payments as blocks on a phone, so the amount, status, Edit and Discard all stay on screen.

Bug Fixes

• Held payments lost their date: A payment held for cash-up was posted on the day the cash-up was approved, and now keeps the date it was entered with.
• Half-typed dates: A payment date with only the day or month filled in is now refused on payment and cash-up forms instead of being saved as no date.
• Future-dated payments: A payment can no longer be dated after today, and a cash-up holding one says which payment to fix before it can be approved.
• Breaks missing from earlier till lines: Lines already in the till now pick up new price breaks, so earlier weighings no longer stay on the old price.
• Minimum price skipped on changed lines: A line whose price was changed before its minimum was set is now checked too.
• Card payments at the web till: Card payments taken at the web till were recorded as bank transfers, and are now recorded as card.
• Product import error: A product file that was too large showed only “An error occurred”, and now explains the problem.
• Cash-up page on a phone: The week and month picker no longer pushes the page off the side of a phone screen.
• Till PIN was hard to find: The setting for manager approval now says where managers set their PIN and which permission they need.
