Cash Register Express Version 10 Release Notes
Release 10.0 May 18th, 2004
1. ** NEW ** Added '# Seconds Timeout' to the 'Credit & Debit' tab of
the 'Setup Screen'. This allows you to define how long CRE\RPE will
wait before informing you a credit card operation timed out. This is
particularly useful for stores trying to settle large batches via
modem.
2. ** NEW ** Added 'Vendor Payout' permission to the 'Employee Maintenance'
screen.
3. ** NEW ** You can now require that certain items require Special permission
to sell. To designate that an item needs special permission, you can check off the
'Special Permission' checkbox in its record in 'Inventory Maintenance'
The 'Sell Special Items' permission in Employee Maintenance designates which
employees are allowed to sell these items. Examples of use:
1. Require a manager to be present to check ID for sales of cigarettes
2. Require a manager's presence to sell a special order item
3. For restaurants, require a manager to approve a special order being
sent to the kitchen, ex: 'Open Liquor' and 'Open Food'

combined with the tax in the totals.
5. ** NEW ** Added 'Recall On Hold Invoice' option for the customizable buttons

6. When puttin invoices on hold in RPE, it now shows the touch screen keyboard
instead of the touch screen numberpad.

protect two servers from accessing the table at the same time. This
protection has now been added to 'Manual Entry'.
8. ** NEW ** Added 'Prompt Description' option for inventory items, located in
the 'Optional' tab of the 'Inventory Maintenance' screen. When you sell an item
that has this option checked, you will be asked for the description.
9. The expiration date is now hidden on the receipt size receipt, to meet
new security requirements starting January 1st, 2005.
10. Added the customer number to the 'Receipt Listing' report.
11. ** NEW ** Integrated with the Weightronics NCI-6720 weight scale. This
weight scale has a few different models. Depending on the model you are
using, CRE will now have the capability to weigh items up to 60 pounds
(as opposed to a maximum of 30 pounds with other scales) OR with the
precision of hundreths of a pound (as opposed to tenths of a pound with
other scales.)

15. ** NEW ** Added a 'Notes' section to the 'Inventory Maintenance' screen.
16. ** NEW ** CRE can now print validation for multiple checks on one invoice
(entered through the detailed amount tendered screen) as opposed to just
one check per invoice, the previous limit.
17. ** NEW ** Re-designed the 'Employee Maintenance' screen.
18. You can now specify the question that appears when a pass-along is sold.
Previously, pass-along sales prompted you with "Select the Item To Sell".
You can now specify your own prompt for each pass-along, which will make
the user interface easier for your cashiers.
19. Added 'Exclude Cash Tips from Shift Report' option to the 'Restaurant
Features' of the 'Setup Screen'. This option will prevent the cash tips
from appearing in the cash count of the shift report, for restaurants that
have the servers track that information separately.

and trades.
21. ** NEW ** Added 'Performance Statistics' option to the Detailed Daily Report.
For retail, this includes the number of invoices and average dollars per invoice.
For restaurants, this includes the number of invoices, average dollars per
invoice, number of guests, average dollars per guest, and the
total of credit card tips.
22. Modifiers now appear in red in the invoice grid in Restaurant Pro Express.
23. You can now double-touch\click the time in the reporting screen to have
a touch screen time entry screen pop up.
24. ** NEW ** For both the restaurant and retail touch screens, you can now
mark which items are visible on the touch screen (as opposed to only
departments in the past)
25. ** NEW ** Added a second level of 'Check ID' to items within 'Inventory
Maintenance'. This level is called 'Check ID #2 Before Selling". Two levels
of ID checking are useful in stores such as a convenient store, where you
may sell both liquor and tobacco products.
26. ** NEW ** You can now define an age and prompt to be used for checking
both levels of ID. You can also tell CRE to prompt for the birth date
so the cashier does not have to figure out if the purchaser is old enough.
27. ** NEW ** Officially added 'Diners Club' as a credit card type.
28. ** NEW ** Manually entered credit cards have their type automatically
selected.
29. ** NEW ** Added 'Force Credit Cards' permission, which determines whether
or not a cashier can perform a force credit card transaction. Occasionally
your process will return a message of CALL CENTER, or for some other reason
you want CRE\RPE to accept the transaction as credit card even if it was
not approved by normal means. Adding this permission means you can restrict
this function to managers only.
30. ** NEW ** Added 'Count This Item' feature to Inventory Maintenance. If this
option is DISABLED for an inventory item, it will not deduct from its stock
when the item is sold. This is a great feature for items that you want to
track the quantity sold, but not the quantity in stock. This option is
enabled by default for every item, and can be disabled on a per item basis.
31. ** NEW ** Added 'Notify Cashier of Expired Members' option to the 'Account
Control' tab of the 'Setup Screen'. If this is checked and you select a
customer with expired customer membership date, it will display a message
for the cashier.
32. ** NEW ** Added option to print labels for customers whose memberships
expire within a specified date range. This feature can be used by
selecting the 'Membership Expiration Range' in the 'Print Customer Labels'
menu in the 'Customer Maintenance' screen.
33. ** NEW ** CRE and RPE now support the use of two merchant accounts (with
PC Charge.) You can set any station to process using your first merchant
account, your second account, or to ask you each invoice. This can be set
up in the 'Credit & Debit' tab of the 'Setup Screen'.
34. ** NEW ** Added a custom button for 'On Screen Keyboard' in RPE. This can
be used to type in bar code numbers for bar codes that are damaged and\or
will not scan. The new button can be configured in the 'Touch Screen
Configuation' screen.
35. ** NEW ** 'Display Last Order' function added to the restaurant invoice
screen. This will display the last order from the selected customer. This
custom button can be set up in the 'Touch Screen Configuration' screen.
36. ** NEW ** Added 'Area Tax Rates', which allow you to charge different
customers different tax rates. This is very useful for retail stores who
ship their goods to other counties, and are required to charge the tax
rate of that county. The tax rates can be set up in the 'Set Tax Rate'
screen, and can be assigned to the customer in the 'Extended Info' tab
of the 'Customer Maintenance' screen.
37. ** NEW ** Added 'On the Fly' adding of items for Cash Register Express
(modern screen only.) If you scan an item that does not exist in the
database, you now have 6 options of how to handle it:
- Display the standard Item Not Found message
- Display Item Not Found and require the user click or touch the
OK button (so a second scan will not bypass it)
- Quick Enter, Forced -- A quick entry screen where you can enter
a description and a price and click OK or hit enter. The item
will be permanently added to inventory AND added right to the
invoice
- Quick Enter, Prompt -- Prompts you if you want to add the item
before doing # 3.
- Full Enter, Forced -- Similar to # 3 but launches the full
inventory screen so you can enter extra details
- Full Enter, Prompt -- Same as # 5 but it prompts you first
38. The Inventory Reports (Numerical and Alphabetical) now include the second
line of the item's description.
39. Added option to 'Print Second Description on Full Size Professional' receipt
to the 'Receipt' tab of the 'Setup Screen'. This will also display the
second line on the invoice screen, and is very useful for businesses who
sell larger products and use full size receipts.
40. The on-screen keyboard now includes a shift button for lower case, as well
as popular punctuation symbols (making for easier entry of e-mail addresses
and phone numbers.)
41. ** NEW ** Added 'Tax on Tips' features. If checked, this option will add
tax to tips applied by auto-gratuity. This is not used in the United States,
but is used in some other countries around the world.
42. If 'Display Tax in Price' is enabled, the price change button in the modern
retail screen will now allow you to enter the 'after tax' amount, and reverse calculate
the figures for you.
43. There is now a 'Two Color Printing -- Epson Dot Matrix' option in for
order\kitchen printers. This allows for easier setup.
44. ** NEW ** 'Global Special Pricing' renamed to 'Global Price Changes' and now
allows you to change prices in mass (it used to only let you change sale
prices in mass.)
45. In the styles matrix screen, if you update the cost and\or price for the
style, it will update the cost and\or price for every item within that style.
46. Added an option for invoice pullbacks so that it does not require you to use
the time clock. The new setting is called 'Tie Pullbacks to Time Clock' and
can be accessed from the 'Retaurant Features' tab of the 'Setup Screen'.
47. ** NEW ** Added 'Transfer Server' button to the RPE Edits screen, which
allows you to transfer a table\check to a different server. This used to be
part of the Transfer Check button. Transfer Check will now only transfer the
table to a different table, same server (and allow you to combine the two
tables if the destination is occupied.)
48. ** NEW ** When using a gift card, the default amount displayed will either
be the maximum balance on the card (if the sale is more then the balance on
the card) or the total amount of the sale (if greater then the balance of the
card.)
49. ** NEW ** 'Split Checks' overhauled for Restaurant Pro Express. When you split
a check, it will now appear under the same check as 2 or more subchecks. You can
print receipts and close out each subcheck individually.
50. ** NEW ** 'Coupon Item Type' added to inventory maintenance. The special coupon
item type allows you to define expiration dates of coupons, days and times they
are valid and what products you will allow them to be redeemed against.
