New Feature Questions (re. v17.2 and 17.3)

bob

There were some really solid features added, but I have questions about a few:

1. "add Quick Link to complete suspended transfer": 

 - how does this work?  I do a lot of transfers, and can't see a way to do this.

2. "added condensed closeout report "

 - during closeout, I don't see an option to choose the condensed report - can this be done only through Reports-Closeout-condensed summary report?

3. "can now mark items damaged outside of return"

 - how is this done?

4. For a number of reports, we can now filter by Register, by Customer Tier, and by Item Category.

 - for me, it would be more valuable to be able to Sort, rather than Filter, but each of these variables. At least I don't see a way to generate a report including all items/sales/customers for a specific time period, and SORTED by register, tier, or category.  Could there be a way of doing this?  Or is there a way and I'm just missing it?

    1.  Okay, there it is.

    2. Being a separate report, I take it that the tapes that print out with the "Close Register" function will remain the same, then.

    3. In Items, I know that I can click on the box in front of the item and have options, I can click on the "..." after the item and have options, or I can click on Edit and have options.  But I don't see an option for counting an item as damaged in any of these.

    4. That would be very helpful.  I don't need an itemized (detailed) list, but it's helpful to have one for sales summaries by category.  For instance, I like to be able to compare POS records with what I end up with in the Quickbooks reports - kind of like a QB P&L statement or Sales Summary Report. 

    Also, when I export sales from PHP to QBO, I go by categories rather than specific items, since I don't want to get bogged down in the detail of coordinating a couple thousand items between the two.  So the POS-based sales summaries would offer me a greater level of detail than what I can get out of QB. 

    As an example, I have 10-20 different sizes if items within some categories, where each size has 40-50 colors.  I've always been able to estimate how many - by color - I might need to make to have on hand for future sales by looking at past sales history for specific time periods.  I just can't find a way to do that in PHP.  There are lots of great features in PHP POS, but I'd say this is the one I miss most from previous POS's I've had.

    Reason for damaged field pops up with None.  No drop down options.  How do I add reasons?
