BC ASN uploads re-introduced

We've brought back the BC ASN (.xml file) uploads! Speed up your purchase order creation process by clicking "Import" when editing a purchase order, then selecting the "Import from your provincial wholesaler" upload option.

If you are not part of the BCLDB's ASN program, don't worry. They have confirmed that the pilot program will be over and that all stores will be automatically enrolled in the near future.

Reporting improvements

Financials reports

The following new columns have been added:

  • Taxes (broken down by individual tax)
  • Gift card sales
  • Penny adjustments
  • Total
  • Cost
  • Profit

We understand that users have had to piece together values from different reports to get the following information all in one export. This report brings in all remaining fields into the general financials report. This also means that the old "Growth" report will be getting phased out this coming February.

Products/categories on-hand reports

The following have been added:

  • Date filters (view your historical inventory quantities)
  • Costs now use historical costs. For example, if your cost is currently $10, but it was $8 in December, your December on-hand costs will be calculated at $8.
  • Retail values are based on current prices

Purchase order reports

Previously, the reports only broke down the top 30 products purchased. The limit has been lifted, meaning that you can now export a report of all products and the amount purchased.

We hope this quality-of-life improvements can improve your day-to-day reporting tasks. Please leave a note down below with further improvements you'd like to see.

Product edit history logs [UPDATED]

Update

Product edit history logs have also been added to the product list page. Now, managers can see who's editing products when they're away from the store. Look for the "Edit history" button next to the green "Add product" button.

Original post

To provide store managers with high levels of visibility and accountability into their stores, we've added the ability to see your edit history for products.

When you edit a product, you'll notice a new tab called "edit history." Clicking on it will show the following information:

  • Who made the update.
  • When did the update happen.
  • Which fields were updated.
  • For some fields, show the previous to new value.

BC 20% vape taxes

EDIT: As of Dec 21, Greenline POS has been updated to apply the 20% vape tax before all other taxes, as per the following requirement:

Original post

The BC government will be charging 20% PST for all vape products starting 2020. Greenline has added a new 20% "Vape PST (BC)" tax line available for BC stores to add. We suggest setting up a new tax group that looks like the following:

Please attach this tax group to your vape products as they come into the market in 2020.
