Release Note v114.0.5
This document will update you on some of the most amazing updates in Electron POS v114.0.5

POS updates


1. Right-based POS configurations :

  1. We have updated the 'Bill/KOT preferred configuration' and 'Bill/KOT print' options to align with 'POS Configuration' user rights. Here's how it works :



    1. READ right : Billers can view the Bill/KOT preferred configuration and Bill/KOT print options.
    2. WRITE right : Billers can view and modify both.
    3. NO rights : Billers cannot view the Bill/KOT preferred configuration but can still view the Bill/KOT print options.

2. On demand billing option for advance orders :

  1. We have added a new option that allows you to manually create bills for both online and offline advance orders, even if they are fully paid and marked as memo status.

  2. Creating bills from Memo : For offline orders, you will now need to manually generate a bill after the settlement process. When this feature is activated, bills for settled orders will not be created automatically. The biller will need to create the bill from the advance order grid manually. The "Create Bill" button will only appear if the payment for that order has been fully received or if the delivery date has passed.

  3. Bulk Bill Creation : By clicking the "Bulk Create Bill" button, a popup will appear, allowing your biller to decide whether to print the bill(s), with the print option initially unchecked.

3. Due payments post settlement : advance orders

  1. If offline advance orders are settled with a different payment method, billers can now update the payment method to "due-payment" even after settlement. This due payment settlement option would be available in offline memo advance orders.

  2. This update is based on the user rights assigned to the biller, ensuring flexibility and control over payment corrections.

  3. If an order is fully settled with due payment, the due payment option will not be visible.

  4. In the bulk settlement option, the due payment option will still be available for selection.

4. UI enhancements :

  1. We’ve enhanced the user experience by standardizing various popups into side drawers on the following pages :

    • Language Profile
    • Billing User Profile
    • Withdrawal Listing
    • Waiter Calling Device
    • Special Note
    • 'Info' screen on the live view : Online order card

5. Order rejection flow UI enhancements :

  1. We’ve enhanced the order rejection and cancellation journey for Zomato orders, guiding your billers to avoid unnecessary cancellations that may incur penalties.
  2. Guided Rejection & Cancellation : Billers are prompted with specific reasons to reduce cancellations.
  3. Separate UI : A dedicated UI for each rejection flow for easier management.
  4. Sample UI : 

6. Zomato Store status notifications :

  1. To ensure your biller addresses store status alerts promptly, we’ve added the following enhancements:

    • Actionable Notifications : Two CTA buttons are now available directly on the notification toaster to turn the store ON or stay offline.
    • Persistent Alerts : The notification toaster will buzz continuously for up to 5 seconds until an action is taken, making it unavoidable.



      This update ensures critical store status changes are attended to without delay.
