Resolutions
- Resolved an issue with the Style Performance Report so the report now only displays transactions within the Date and time range selected (previously it included all transactions made on the Sales Date To date, regardless of time)
- We have made several updates to the Transfers feature:
- Creating a Transfer now displays the Outlets selected in the Transfer To filter
- Restored the ability to search for products using sections of the product name (using Partial Text Search as per the example above)
- Product costs can no longer be edited after the Transfer has been dispatched
- Adding products to a package updates the Outlet-specific price
- Resolved an issue where the Adjustment and Summary Stocktake Reports didn't match due to a difference in the Stock on Hand value from when the Stocktake Excel file was created vs when the Stocktake file was uploaded (caused by trading while performing a stocktake)
- POS Survey names (Segment Options) are now required to be unique
- Resolved an issue where newsletters were unable to be created due to large customer names
- Resolved an issue where Purchase Order fields were unable to be set back to blank values e.g. Shipping Status

Understanding Prefix vs Partial Text Search
When entering information in POS (either by scanning or manually typing in the details) the PLU Scan field uses the Prefix Search method, while the Search (used for descriptions and more) uses the Partial Text Search method.
| Prefix Search | Partial Text Search |
| Searches for an exact match from the start of the code | Searches for an exact match anywhere in the contents - results in a larger number of matches compared with Prefix Search |
|
e.g. searching for 1240 would return the following results:
124001, 124002, 124003 etc
|
e.g. searching for 1240 would return the following results
124001, 124002, 124003, 5871240, 3871240387
