Online Help Documentation
One of the most common requests we have had from our customers from our visits over the last couple of months has been that you have been wanting up to date documentation.
This has now been implemented.
Online Help Documentation | |
| To view the online help either click on the F1 Help button on the Striven main menu.
|
| The home page for the online documentation allows you to quickly search for help by typing what you are after in the "Search for a solution" area.
|
| Then select from the knowledge bases available.
|
| If you are in a document and you would like to download it and update it with in store specific information, just click on the ... button on the top right corner and move down to Export To Word.
After a little wait, the Word document will be downloaded to your computer. |
Defaults
Striven now allows you to setup field default information that is used whenever a new Debtor, Creditor or Stock item is created in the maintenance window.
This is handy to set up important settings per item that will ensure processes down the track are configured correctly.
Here are some examples:
| Debtors | Creditors | Stock | Staff |
|---|---|---|---|
StatementType (Open Item or Balance brought forward) Debtor Group Delivery Types | Bill To Default Payment Type | Origin Auto Reorder Brand | Security Code Supervisor Yes/No |
So whenever an item is created it would prompt for what type of defaults you wish to set.
For example in Stock you may have some defaults setup like this.
If you dont wish to use any set defaults, just select None and it will create a new item with the system defaults.
Setup Defaults | |
| To set the defaults, click on System Manager, System, Enter Defaults. |
| Set which "Area" you wish to create a default in. Such as Debtors, Stock, Creditors or Staff
|
| To create a new one press F5, B - Create Custom Code, or press F2 to select an existing code. |
| Fill in the Description and Sort By.
|
| Now click on the red "arrow" to add a new Default field.
|
| Select a field and enter in the default value required.
|
| Press F9 to Save. |
Now this default code will appear whenever you create a new Debtor in the Debtor Maintenance window.
Mitre 10 - Mighty Rewards Changes
There have been a lot of changes to the Mighty Rewards system.
These changes are listed here.
Default Fonts for Notes
The default font used when creating a note (such as Debtor Notes, Stock Notes or Warning Notes) can now be changed.
Change Default Note Font | |
| Click on System Manager, System Configuration, Enter User System Settings. |
| Change the "Default Font" and "Notes Default Font" to whatever font, size and colour you wish.
|
| Press F9 to Save. |
Merging Creditor Notes in multistore environment
From now on all Creditor Notes will be merged if you are working within a multistore environment.
Meaning that the notes in the Creditor Notes tab will not be different at each store, so if you update the notes at one store it will be the same at the other.
POS - Email on Customer Order/Quote screen
You can now add the customers email address when creating or modifying a Quote, Customer Order or COD.
This information is now stored on the Customers Account for future use if required.
This field is not a mandatory field, so you can leave it blank if you wish.
POS - Phone Number on Customer Order Quote screen
It has been required by some stores to show the Mobile Number as a separate field when creating or modifying a Customer Order, Quote or Layby.
You must enter in at least 1 number, either the customers "Phone Number" (which could be their landland) or "Mobile Number".
If you enter in the mobile number field, it will put that into the "Mobile Number" field on the customers account.
POS - Prompt to print docket
There has been a lot of requests to get POS to prompt asking you if you would like to print a docket. We have added this feature.
You can set the setting in POS Settings, Printout Tab. Just change the first line "Docket", Print Option to Yes.
F9 Save.
When the next Cash Sale is done on this station, it will prompt with the following.
This message will disappear after 30 seconds defaulting to NO. The timer will count down from 30 and discount this information on the screen.
It will return you to the login window ready for the next sale if nothing has been selected in 30 seconds.
POS - Print Promotion Description on Docket
By default, when a product is sold on Promotion, the Promotion name is now printed on the docket.
If you would like this turned off, please contact Support.
POS - Auto logout
POS will now automatically log you out if you have not used POS for 1 hour. This is added security in case you leave your computer unattended. If you were in the middle of a sale, the sale will reload once you have successfully logged back in again. If you would like to change the timings, please contact support and we can guide you through the process.
POS - Show Sales Quantity Breaks under description
To help with add-on sales, Striven now shows the next set of Sales Quantity breaks under the description in POS.
The Sales Quantity breaks are setup in the "Sales Qty Brks" tab in the Stock Maintenance window.
Creditor Receivals - Update Costs/Prices by Origin
If the Cost on the Receival is different to what is in the system, you can control whether or not the system will prompt by Origin now. Meaning that could set it so only Orders that have come through Direct from Supplier would prompt but ignore any differences if this order was a Warehouse order. To get to this settings window, press CONTROL + F8 in the Creditor Receival window.
Links to AccountRight - Cloud
If you are using AccountRight - Cloud version the General Ledger journals can now be exported to this new Cloud version.
