Lightspeed Retail 2017.22

New Features and Enhancements

Item Import tool: When importing items with a Quantity on Hand, you now have the option to add their associated labels to the label queue directly from the Item Import tool! All you need to do is click the Add Labels to queue for Items with Inventory button in the summary of your import operation and go to Inventory > Print Labels. By using the Item Import tool, you can not only restock your account, but your shelves as well!CLD-15420

Adjusting FIFO cost: If your Retail account uses the FIFO Cost cost method, accidentally entering an incorrect unit cost when adding an item to your inventory will impact the FIFO cost of the sale item in your reporting down the road (e.g. in the Margin Per Line report). As your profit and margin calculations in your reporting are based on the FIFO cost of sale items, we understand the importance of being able to correct this field. This is why as merchant using the FIFO Cost cost method, you can now retroactively adjust the FIFO cost of your sale items, bringing more flexibility and accuracy to your reporting and accounting.CLD-15705

Payment sidebar: Your payment sidebar is probably the most trafficked area of your Retail account, and for this reason, we’ve been thinking of ways to improve its design and cash-out experience. We’ve started by giving it a new polished look and feel and moving the Set Tax and Apply Discounts buttons to the main register area. Same functionality, better design! CLD-15019

Bug Fixes

Brands: In our newly redesigned Brand drop-down, apostrophes in brand names display in their HTML code form. This is now fixed. Brands in the drop-down are also sorted alphabetically, making selecting a brand faster and more intuitive. CLD-15664 CLD-15686
Importing images: When an image’s filename has spaces, e.g. “t shirt blue.jpg”, uploading the image file to the Item Import tool will fail. This is now fixed.CLD-15502
Importing the NULL value: When importing a file with the NULL value in the Reorder Point and Reorder Level fields of an item, the item’s fields remain the same rather than resetting to 0. This is now fixed. CLD-15643

UI Improvement

Retail and eCom redesign: Our omnichannel solution consists of the powerful combination of Lightspeed Retail and Lightspeed eCom that allows you to sell both online and in-store. Although we want to continue embracing the opportunities that their differences bring, we want to draw more similarities between them through the power of design. Log in to your Retail account and have a look at our new main menu, section menu and top bar! Next up: eCom! CLD-15538 CLD-15601 CLD-15692

Bug Fix

Catalog items: When a Retail account has the Automatically publish to eCom setting disabled in Settings > General Options, catalog items that are imported in the Retail account are still pushed to eCom by default. This is now fixed.CLD-15350
