Introduction
Openbravo POS 2.20 includes a large list of new functionalities and bug fixes included in this release.
This release is available for download at SourceForge.net: Files.
New features
- Improved tax system. The taxes functionality of Openbravo POS have been changed to make it equal to the taxes system of Openbravo ERP. New windows has been created and the taxes reports have been modified. With this new system long demanded features like the possibility to have two different taxes by receipt line and support of Canadian, German, and other countries taxes system can be implemented now with Openbravo POS. See more on Openbravo POS Taxes Management.
- Customer module improvements. More fields has been added to the customers table: contact fields and localization fields. All these fields are also available when printing receipts allowing Openbravo POS to print invoices. See more on Openbravo POS Customer Management.
- Updated all external libraries to latest version. Third party libraries like Jasper Reports, Barcode4J, HSQLDB, JavaPOS, Substance and SwingX, has been updated to the latest stable releases. This guaranties that the functionality of Openbravo POS that relies on third party libraries contains the latest improvements and bugs fixed up to the latest releases. The third party libraries used by Openbravo POS are documented in Openbravo POS Libraries.
- New installer packages. To make it easier to install and deploy Openbravo POS. There are new installer packages for major OS: Windows, Ubuntu and Suse.
- A large list of enhancements like the ability of merging receipts in restaurant mode. Fine grained security editing receipts. Sequence number for closed cash reports. Animations for customer displays. New customers diary report. New button to hide / show the menu instead the split bar to improve usability. Improved events and scripting capabilities in the sales panel. And much more...
- A large list of bugs fixed.
Upgrading from Openbravo POS 2.10
If you are planning to update your current Openbravo POS 2.10 to the new 2.20 release, we recommend first to close all the applications connected to the database, make a backup of your database, upgrade the database and discard this backup only when everything has been tested to work with the new version.
If the first time Openbravo POS 2.20 starts the database is from a 2.10 it asks the user if it should be upgraded. If the user selects yes, the SQL script that upgrades the database structure is executed and Openbravo POS starts normally.
There are several issues that appear in an upgraded installation of Openbravo POS from 2.10 that have to be fixed manually. Here is the list of known issues and how to fix this issues:
- New menu options are not accessible because the permissions list are not updated and have to be done manually. For example, to add to the Administrator role all the menu options of 2.20 go to the roles panel and include the following lines to the permissions list:
<class name="/com/openbravo/reports/customersdiary.bs"/> <class name="com.openbravo.pos.inventory.TaxCustCategoriesPanel"/> <class name="com.openbravo.pos.inventory.TaxPanel"/> <class name="com.openbravo.pos.inventory.TaxCategoriesPanel"/>
- Several receipt edition options are now disabled in the sales panel and in the edit receipts panel because the permissions to edit receipts, refund receipts, print receipts, edit lines, close sales and change taxes options are more fine grained. For example, to add to the Administrator role all the permissions related to the receipts edition add the following lines to the permissions list:
<class name="sales.EditLines"/> <class name="sales.EditTicket"/> <class name="sales.RefundTicket"/> <class name="sales.PrintTicket"/> <class name="sales.Total"/> <class name="sales.ChangeTaxOptions"/>
- New menu options are not visible because the new menu definition resource has to include the new menu entries. To add the new menu entries to your menu, open the resource Menu.Root and replace the menu definition by the new menu definition of the new version or include the following lines in your current menu definition.
submenu.addPanel("/com/openbravo/images/appointment.png", "Menu.CustomersDiary", "/com/openbravo/reports/customersdiary.bs");
submenu.addPanel("/com/openbravo/images/bookmark.png", "Menu.TaxCategories", "com.openbravo.pos.inventory.TaxCategoriesPanel");
submenu.addPanel("/com/openbravo/images/bookmark.png", "Menu.TaxCustCategories", "com.openbravo.pos.inventory.TaxCustCategoriesPanel");
- Product names and other properties are not properly shown in receipt printers and customer displays because the object definitions used in the templates changed some methods. To fix this go to the resources panel and in the templates Printer.Ticket, Printer.TicketLine, Printer.TicketPreview and Ticket.Line do the following replacements:
.getProduct().isCom() --> .isProductCom() .getProduct().printName() --> .printName()
- Tax values in the close cash report are not printed properly because the object definitions used to in the close cash report changed some methods. To fix this go to the resources panel and in the the template Printer.CloseCash use the following methods now:
line.printTaxName() line.printTaxes() payments.printSalesBase() payments.printSalesTaxes() payments.printSalesTotal()
- All the pending receipts are deleted because the pending receipt records stored in the database are not compatible with the latest version. We recommend, previous to upgrade the database, to close all the pending receipts with the old version of Openbravo POS you are using.
- The sequence number of all previous cashes closed has been set to zero because the 2.10 version of Openbravo POS did not store the sequence number. The new Openbravo POS 2.20 will store the sequence number starting by 1. This is not a problem in the normal operativity of Openbravo POS but if you require a sequence number even for the cashes closed before the upgrade you may need to edit manually the database table CASHCLOSED where the sequence numbers of the cashes closed are stored.
- The taxes report of all the previous sales closed does not appear in the new Openbravo 2.20 due to the new taxes system, the taxes of the sales are now stored in a database table and are not calculated querying the sales. This is not a problem in the normal operativity of Openbravo POS too, but it you require to execute reports based on the sales performed with the old release you will need to make a copy of the old taxes report that calculated the taxes based on the sales, to the new version of Openbravo POS.
