ROBOTILL News and Updates

  ROBOTILL Version 9.21 has just been released with support for stock locations. Stock locations refer to distinct areas within a single shop or restaurant where inventory is stored and tracked. Common examples include storerooms, fridges, and the bar. Unlike branches, stock locations are part of the same business premises and exist to help manage stock more precisely. You should define a stock location only if you need to monitor inventory at that specific spot separately from your main sales area. This enables you to receive stock directly into a designated location, transfer stock between locations and more. For more on stock locations see:  https://poshelp.robotill.com/Locations.aspx

  Stock levels not making any sense? ROBOTILL version 9.19 has just been released with detailed stock level tracing.

  Upgrading to the latest version of ROBOTILL is always a great idea, as each new release brings not only exciting new features but also important quality improvements and bug fixes. Typically, we don't mandate upgrades. However, due to the recent enhancement of our licensing system, we can only register computers running version 9.18 or later. Licences on computers with earlier versions will continue to work, but if you need to renew, re-register after a database restore, or move a licence to another computer, then you will first need to upgrade to the latest version .  Important - Please take note of the following: In previous versions, stock were committed to inventory as you are busy receiving it. From version 9.18 received stock will only be committed to inventory once the receiving batch has been marked as completed.  From version 9.18 automatic backups will only be done from the Back Office App. The app needs to be open but no one needs to be logged in.  What'...
