LS Central 20.5 Release Notes

About This Release

Released - October 27, 2022

This version is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022, release wave 1, cumulative update 5, build 20.5.45456.45889.

LS Central 20.5

LS Central is now delivered as two apps. Some code has been moved from the LS Central app to a new app named LS Central System App. The LS Central app has a dependency on the LS Central System App. The code that was moved to the LS Central System App is a code that was originally in the Toolbox .dll and is related to the POS UI. The code in the Toolbox .dll was not public, and partners could not modify the code. The code in the LS Central System app will not be public and the LS Central System App will only be published as runtime package. The LS Central System App will, in the future, hold code related to licensing to enable LS Retail to license LS Central components in the cloud.

LS Central AL code

The source code for the LS Central app is delivered in AL files that can be modified by partners. It is, however, highly recommended to make all modifications in extensions, and if you need to alter the LS Central or Business Central behavior then do that by subscribing to events.

It is LS Retail's priority to make it easy for the partners to extend LS Central. Therefore, a special section in our Support Portal (login required) is provided for partners to submit requests for new events. These requests are given priority.

LS Central extension

The release package includes LS Central and LS Central System App as runtime apps that can be installed as extensions. To install the extensions, you first need to publish them, see Publishing and Installing an Extension v2.0. Once the LS Central and LS Central System App extensions have been published, the LS Central and LS Central System App extensions can be installed using the Extension Management page in Business Central.

Important Notices! 

Breaking changes in release 21.0

Obsolete code marked with tag 19.0 and below removed

Our solution gets bigger with every release, but we intend to clean up by removing obsolete code in major releases as soon as the code has been marked obsolete for at least a year.

In release 21.0 we removed constructs like procedures and events, but there are no breaking schema changes yet, like Tables and Table fields.

Recommended action: Check if you are using a feature that has been marked obsolete for more than a year. The warning should state the reason and the alternative that is intended to be used.

OnPrem-only procedures are now obsolete

All procedures and objects that are marked #if _IS_SAAS_, previously marked [Scope('OnPrem')], will become internal.

From 21.0 these procedures and objects will be marked Obsolete for OnPrem extensions, until they will finally become internal in 22.0.

If your extension is using any of these, they will now get a warning.

Recommended action: If you have an OnPrem extension, check if there are any warnings. Usually, there are alternative procedures available, but partners can also request that a list of these is made public through the same flow as event requests.

Autotest object names now have an LSC prefix

In version 17.4 we added an LSC prefix to LS Central, but this was not done for our Autotests extension, which we include in our releases.

In version 21.0, autotests will have a prefix as well.

Recommended action: If you are using or extending the LS Central Autotests extension, be aware of this change.

Integration event triggers are now internal/local

In rare cases, it has been technically possible to trigger some of our events from an extension.

These cases are usually an oversight, since the internal/local keyword was missing for the IntegrationEvent so they become public, by default.

This has prevented us from adding new arguments to existing events, and therefore unnecessarily forcing new versions for events where a breaking change would not have been needed.

Recommended action: This should not require any work. There is a chance that somewhere an upgrade might fail, if it is calling an event function, for example in POS Transaction Event, which usually has no effect. Instead, the events are intended to be subscribed to, with an EventSubscriber.

OAuth web service authentication

As documented by Microsoft, OAuth2 will be the authentication option for Business Central SaaS and Basic authentication will be deprecated, see here:

LS Central version 20.5 supports the use of Service2Service OAuth2 authentication when using LS Central as a web service client, for example when POS (web service client) is calling web services on Head Office (web service server).

New or Enhanced Features

BackOffice

Add Item Automatically to Inventory Lookup

The Inventory Lookup table is now updated, when you create a new item with Product Group marked as POS Inventory Lookup.

GS1 Barcode in CO Picking

The possibility to scan GS1 barcodes when doing Customer Order Picking has been added.

A new parameter, MemberClubTemp_l, has been added to publisher in codeunit POS Print Utility: OnAfterPrintLoyalty(POSTrans, PrintBuffer, PrintBufferIndex, LinesPrinted, DSTR1, MemberClubTemp_l)

Object Size Reduced - Global Labels to Enum

A new Enum object has been created with all labels from the POS Transaction codeunit.

Over-Receipt Code in Retail Receiving

New fields, Over-Receipt Quantity and Over-Receipt Code, have been added to lines of the Retail Receiving page.
A functionality was added to populate and/or check these fields when populating the Quantity field on the Retail Receiving lines.
The aim is to apply Microsoft standard functionality Over-Receipt to the Retail Receiving page.

Reverse VAT on Gift Card Redemption

When a gift card is issued and there is a VAT% on the Trans. Sales Entry, that same VAT% is now used to make a reverse VAT Entry when the gift card is redeemed.

Token Setup Page Enhancements

The Token Setup page is now searchable and demo data has been added.

Variables Changed from Local to Global to Increase Performance

Functions FormatAmount, FormatPrice, FormatQty, and FormatWeight have been modified to move the local variable to global.

Web Services: Enhancements

SPGOrderCheck

Web service SPGOrderCheck returns if a basket is fully paid, if a check should be made, and how many items should then be checked. If a basket should be checked, item lines are returned as part of the response message. It is configurable to always return item lines.

MemberAuthenticatorLogin

More detailed status information and error messages have been added to the MemberAuthenticatorLogin web service to be displayed if login to the ScanPayGo app is unsuccessful.

SPGLogSecurityCheckResponse

Web service SPGLogSecurityCheckResponse has been added to Omniwrapper.

Web Services: New Services 

DeleteMemberCardToken

A new web service, DeleteMemberCardToken, has been created. It deletes entries in the Token table associated with a Member Card Number.

SetMemberCardToken

A new web service, SetMemberCardToken, has been created. It creates entries in the Token table associated with a Member Card Number.

Fashion

Show Variant Code in Item Ledger Entries Page

The Variant Code field has been made visible in the Item Ledger Entries page.

Food & Beverages

Dynamic Content Loaded to Global Temp Table

To speed up displaying the menu after selecting a sales type, all hierarchy menus are now loaded when the POS is started. When the user selects the sales type (after possibly selecting a language), the program updates the language descriptions, if needed, and the current availability.

Self-Service Kiosk Works With Missing Web Template Texts

If there are missing web template texts for the self-service kiosk, the template will still work and have a placeholder text in English.

Self-Service Delay After Selecting a Sales Type

Optimizations have been done to reduce the time it takes for the system to fetch the Hierarchy menu structure for a self-service kiosk.

Video Improvements

• Video File Path
  A video file path has been added to Web Template images.

• Video Displayed on Idle Kiosk

  If a video file exists, the video is displayed instead of the retail image when a Self-service kiosk is in idle mode .

LS Activity

Activity Availability Calculation per Location

When Staff Management is used to schedule human resources, the activity locations which the resource is available to automatically depend on the work locations that the employee is allowed to be scheduled to in Staff Management.
Note: If the resource has been assigned to a Fixed Location in the Activity Resource card, that setting will overwrite any Staff Management settings.

Improvements on Group Header

In the FactBoxes on the Group Reservation card and the Reservation Card, the user can drill down from the Balance cue, to show a list of all receipts and invoices that have been issued related to the Group or the Reservation. If there is only a single receipt or invoice, the drill-down opens the relevant card to display the details, but otherwise a list is presented and the user can choose which receipt or invoice to drill down further.

From the Group Reservation Line FactBox, the user will see the last transaction related to the selected line. If, however, there have been many payment receipts related to line, a drill-down list shows all related receipts.

Note: From the Balance cue drill-down, any additional charges (receipts) are also included.

Information Line for Reserved Resources Added to Info Bar on Activity Group Reservation Headers

In the Group Reservation card's FactBox, a new line has been added with information on how many resource lines have been reserved. From that field the user can now drill down to the resource reservation entries and manage the resource reservations, if needed.

Member Created Automatically in Activity Group Reservations

In LS Activity Setup, the Always Create New Members setting automatically creates member contacts based on the reservation information, that is client name and email.

This has now been extended to the group reservation. If you enter Main Group member name and email address in the Group reservation, the system automatically creates a member contact and assigns member contact number and member account to the group reservation. Also, this name and details are assigned to the first group member , if it has not been entered yet.
If you enter names and emails in the Group Member List, these are also automatically assigned a member account and contact number.

New Activity Group APIs

A new API, UpdateGroupHeaderStatus, can be used to update the status of a group reservation in whole.

If no web payment or confirm statuses are set in the Activity Setup, then no status change (Confirm) is processed when the ConfirmGroupActivity API is used. It is only used for inserting a group line and then the UpdateGroupHeaderStatus API can be used to confirm at a later stage.

Overbooking Extended

In previous versions the Activity user could be configured to allow overbooking. This feature has now been extended, so that the overbooking option can be further specified to which products can be overbooked. The Activity Product Card has a new field, Overbooking, which specifies if the product can be overbooked, or even more specifically, if it can be overbooked by another product or not. Default is None allowed, so it is not enough to only set the user setting, you must also specify which products can be overbooked or be overbooked by another product. Note that this affects the following processes:

1. Create New Activity from Role Center now asks the user if they wish to overbook (if booking a non-available product). If the user answers No, the system continues to ask for waiting list confirmation like before.
   Note: Confirmation of overbooking is only asked, if the user is allowed to overbook and the product is allowed to be overbooked.
2. Activity created on a POS will not be asking, but will simply overbook, if possible.
3. Creating new activity from the Java framework Matrix view will not ask for overbooking.
4. Booking from a reservation will overbook without asking.

The system will always check, if the product is allowed to be overbooked, and also if the prior existing bookings have products which are allowed to be overbooked "over".
Note: Customers who are using the overbooking feature in previous versions must review their activity products and assign overbooking to Allowed to keep their existing processes for overbooking. The user setting is not sufficient to allow overbooking by default.

Quotes and Invoices According to Event Categories When Reservation Type Uses BEO

When an activity reservation is converted to a Business Central quote or invoice, and if the reservation type is using BEO (Banquet Event Order), the lines are created in the same structure as the BEO view, that is showing the event category title and grouping the quote or invoice according to BEO event categories.

Reservation Number as Parameter in CheckResourceGroupAvailability

Reservation number and activity number have been added to subscriber events related to availability calculation.

SELECTRES and Checking Allowance

When the SELECTRES POS command is used to assign a sale to a reservation, the system checks if the reservation has any open allowances. If there are, the main menu area will display the open allowance entries in the POS. Basically, when the sale is linked to the reservation, the POS will show if the customer has any open allowances to choose from.

Support for Activity Pre-sale in Web API

An API call, PreSellActivityProduct, has been added to allow web front ends to pre-sell any activity product, which will result in issued Allowance. This allowance can then be gradually consumed (booked). This lets the customers or clients pre-pay a bulk of services and then gradually use that allowance.

LS Central

Archiving Promotions

It is now possible to archive promotions. When you copy or restore an Archived Promotion, the fields Block Periodic Discount, Block Manual Price Change, Block InfoCode Discount, and Block Line Discount Offer are enabled.

Customer Order With Non-inventory Items

Handling of items of type Non-Inventory has been added to the Customer Order processes. Non-Inventory items can, for example, be used for handling charges, insurance, storage, and more.

New Functions Added to POS Member Mgt Codeunit

New functions have been added to the POS Member Mgt codeunit to enable setting member related information from extensions.

Sorting Locations in Customer Order Vendor Sourcing

In Customer Order - Vendor Sourcing, the available location is now sorted with current location and shipping location at the top of the list.

Transaction Data Push

A new way has been created to be able to define tables for the Transaction Data Push method, transferring the data with LS Data Director. The new way allows a subjob number to be added into the configuration of the functionality profile, the Data Director part.

Web Service Setup: "Select Latest Version" Added

A new setup has been added in the Web Service Setup page to select the web services that should use this function: 
Click the Related action, then Web Service - Use Select Latest Version.

LS Forecast

Additional Dimensions

LS Forecast finds patterns and trends in the historical sales data and uses this knowledge to predict future demand. There are often so-called outliers in the historical sales data which do not follow the common patterns and trends. The outliers might be explained by external factors such as weather, holidays, events, offers, or campaigns.

LS Forecast Dimensions enable you to define these external factors as additional dimensions. LS Forecast analyzes if the dimensions have relevant impact on sales and measures the effects. You can configure the dimensions and the calculated effects to be considered during the replenishment calculation for LS Forecast Items.

For more information see LS Forecast Dimensions in the LS Central Help.

LS Hardware Station

EFT Gift Card Functions Added

LS Pay EFT Gift Card functions have been added to LS Hardware Station.

Housekeeping on OPOS Implementations

OPOS implementations have been upgraded to .NET version 4.6.1. Some reference problems with LSOPOSControls have been fixed.

Logger Includes Device ID

The LS Hardware Station logger now includes the Device ID in each log, if relevant.

Existing Action Changed: Detect Hardware

The Detect Hardware action on the POS Hardware Profile Card has been changed to detect the devices that have been configured in the LS Hardware Management Portal and to add those devices to their respective cards, that is the POS Printer Card, POS Scanner Card, and so on. This action does not add any of those devices to the current Hardware Profile. This is useful for when not all devices should be used in all Hardware Profiles and the user only needs to update the device lists so that specific devices can be added to specific Hardware Profiles.

New Action Added: Sync Hardware Profile

The Sync Hardware Profile action does what Detect Hardware did before: it retrieves a list of all devices configured in the LS Hardware Management Portal and adds all of them to the current Hardware Profile.

New Fields on POS Printer Card

New fields for QR code width and height have been added to the POS Printer Card, in the QR Code FastTab. These fields are used when printing a QR code that is not the receipt number, for example the store location QR code that can be printed from the Inventory lookup panel in the POS.
If the receipt number is being printed as a QR code, the Receipt Barcode Width and Height fields on the POS terminal are used to set these values.

LS Hotels

The user can also see employees that have a blank work location set as the default work location, and also any employees from locations which the related staff management user has access to, as defined by additional work locations in the Staff Management user setup.
For backwards compatibility, the Staff Management user can turn this feature on and off in the Staff Management Users page, by using the Employee Location Filtering check box.

A filter has been added to only open Data Entries for the relevant POS Data Entry Type.

Issue With Item Variants Having Only One Dimension

When an item is assigned with a Variant Framework with only one dimension, viewing the item in the Retail Item - Variant Availability and the Dimension Matrix page creates a dummy record with Code *ALL in the LSC Extd.

• The Quantity for an item with variants was not updated correctly with the Dimension Matrix in the Retail Sales Order.
• The Qty. to Ship could not be updated for an item with variants in the Retail Transfer Order.

LS Activity

Activity Front Desk Codeunit

Subscriber in the Activity Front Desk codeunit has been fixed.

Activity Matrix Fixes

The following fixes have been implemented for the Activity Matrix:

• Appointments not Shown at the Right Time
  Appointments not being shown at the right time when using custom intervals in the activity matrix has been fixed.

• Drag-and-Drop in Activity Matrix not Working Properly
  In previous versions there was a bug if activities were dragged-and-dropped in the Matrix, and in some cases the activity end time would not be updated, if the duration of the activity was based on the Quantity field. This has now been fixed.

• Dynamic Intervals in Templates
  Interval value in the activity matrix is now saved to the last selected value.

• Issue Moving a Booking to a Period With no Product Availability
  When trying to move a booking to a period where there is no product availability, the cell was left highlighted. The cell is no longer highlighted after a booking is dragged there, but instead an error occurs.

• Opening Hours for Resources
  Cells that indicate unavailability for a resource in the activity matrix are no longer clickable.

Changing Package Product on Activity Line

A bug has been fixed that occurred when changing product in an activity reservation line, and the line that was being changed was a package header line. This would lead to the previously related activity component lines to still exist. Now the related component lines are removed.

Deposit Schedule not Working Properly

When a reservation is fully paid at the POS, any outstanding deposit schedule is nulled.
Note: When a reservation is invoiced and marked fully paid, the deposit schedule still remains, since you might be tracking the payments towards the invoice manually.

Exchange Shifts not Working Properly

The employee shift exchange requests list (from the clock in/out page) has been changed to only show future shifts, both when showing the shifts of the employee who raises the request, and the list of the shifts which the requester wants to get assigned to. This simplifies the selection for the employee making the request.
Also, in previous versions, employees could choose a "destination" shift, which they were already assigned on, which could result in double assignment for the employee. This is now checked during the request process and not allowed.

Group Reservation Payment Status Issue

A bug causing an unpaid Group reservation to be set as partially paid has been fixed.

Issue Editing Day Specific Capacity for Resources

In previous versions it was not possible to rename a product or a resource capacity schedule entry. Now the user can rename capacity entries. Note, however, that at closing of the resource or product capacity/schedule page, a full overbooking check is processed to make sure the change does not affect future reservations.
This affects the Resource Capacity/Schedule page and the Product Schedule page.

Problems Booking Non-resource Required Products in Activity

Multiple enhancements when reserving Tickets or other activity products which do not require resources and do not keep track of availability: Availability lookups do not show in red as sign of unavailability and also it is now possible to create new activity from the Role Center, which previously would always be assigned to waiting list.

Product Period Limitations Restrictions not Respected

A bug has been fixed that caused the Exclude period restrictions on activity products to not work correctly when the user selected to confirm a reservation with no availability.

Resource not Assigned on Activity Line

When using the main resource setting in the Reservation Types and assigning the resource through the availability lookup page, the Main Resource field in the activity/reservation line was not updated. This has now been fixed.

Ticketing Issues

Issues related to tickets and products that do not have required resources have been fixed:

• Group reservation was not supporting activity products that did not have any resources required (normally tickets). This has been fixed.
• Selling ticket product on the POS had two issues: Unit of measure was not created correctly, if the activity product number and the posting item number was not the same. Also the activity location was not assigned to the admission table.

User Cannot Configure Store Opening to 24 Hours

The opening hours did not support opening for 24 hours. This has been corrected, and now, if the user applies the opening time as blank (zero) value, and the closing time as 23:59:59 (or 11:59:59 PM), the system assumes no closing hours.
A Closed check box has been added on the Activity Location Opening Hour page, so the user can also specify a date when the location is closed.

Prevent Negative Inventory

The field Product Group Code from the ASN Delivery Document Line table has been replaced by ProductGroupCode.

Linked item fixed. When a linked item is a variant item, an error was displayed when the item was sold first time after login. When a linked item was to be voided, the item was not actually voided. This has been fixed.

VAT Calculating Issue

This is fix for a bug that came with version 19.1. If a customer was added to a transaction after an item was added, the field VAT% was not updated on the line after the VAT Group was changed, causing incorrect VAT and Sales Entries.

Voucher and Gift Card not Working in Production 20.2

An error has been fixed with gift card and vouchers not working if Create Voucher Entry was not set to true.

Possible to Use Irrelevant buttons on the POS When Finalizing Invoice

Some irrelevant buttons on a POS menu were displayed in the flow when using finalized invoice on the POS. Now the Deposit, Room, Other Room, and Currency buttons are disabled, if the user is coming from finalize invoice.
