BANKCARD_48Tap Payment Increase

Contactless payments are safer... so we've adjusted the tap limit in Windward System Five to coincide with your credit processor.

Payments of up to $150 can be made without pin entry, making your pin-pads safer for your customers to use and more sanitary for your employees.

PO_SHOW_48Purchase Order Search

Enhanced Purchase Order search functionality to include freeform comment filters.freeform-po-search

Example: You may tag a certain PO with a job site, reference number, or other useful info to track why the PO exists or where the product is headed.

SUPPLIER_48Supplier Fields

Customer Screen, and Purchases Tab, can now be sorted by supplier name by clicking on the column header.  This makes it easier to find past purchases for customer service reasons, warranty receipt lookup, additional sales, etc. 

Example: Garden Center- I bought this plant last year and want to buy it again... I remember it was from Monrovia. You sort their purchases by Monrovia and limit to the plants that they bought last year to add a new one to their invoice for this purchase.

Example: Lighting Showroom- I need a matching flush mount for a Quizel wall sconce I bought 3 years ago. You sort by Quoizel and 


CURRENCYEXCHANGE_48XO Logic Currency

XO Lights Currency Support: The XO Lights data feed doesn't support a currency value. With this enhancement Data coming from a US vendor may be imported into System Five as Canadian currency regardless of the currency set to the Supplier. By using the default currency set against the Supplier when creating the part in System Five, data in the Virtual Warehouse is now kept in the currency of the Supplier, while you can make sales and report in your native currency.

This enhancement requires the Multi-currency Module to be enabled.


REPORT_48Invoice Report

The Invoice Report has been modified to include the following details: If a check is received as a payment either under the original invoice tender or as ROA the check number and date received are published as a column with the invoice. ROA payment amount, the tender type, and date are published as a column of data with the corresponding invoice to show a correlation between a payment made and the invoice paid. Note, while ROA is a type of invoice that can be published, this is another line of data and the client is requesting this to be a column beside the invoice paid. invoice-report-show-payment-details-option

RENTAL_48Rentals

System Five enhancement to include an option to post invoice discounts for rental items to a Cost of Goods Sold. This is an alternative to the behavior of invoice discounts reducing the posting to Income. Please consult with your accountant on best practices.
