What’s new?

In this latest version of Fusion, the following changes have been made:

Headline features

Allowance carry-over

This version of Fusion allows for any unspent allowances (such as Free School Meals and Supervisor allowances) to be configured to not be automatically be removed at the end of each day. Instead, a set of rules can be configured allowing eligible users to carry-over this unspent allowance to be used on a future day. Any allowance carried over will stay with the users account until spent or removed manually.

Override system date and time on the Point of Sale while offline

For schools that need to use offline mode to process sales, you can now specify the date and time that you wish to use for these transactions. Previously, all sales would be recorded using the date and time that is set on the till but occasionally you may need to process sales for a previous day.

Archive old layouts

After a few years of using Fusion, your layouts screen may become full of previous layouts that are no longer useful to you. We have now added the ability to archive these old layouts so that the layouts screen is easier to work with.

Improved Pre-order transactions screen

The pre-order transactions screen has had a few minor improvements to make it easier to work with, such as additional quick filters so it is easier to find the information that you are looking for.

Other general improvements

• Daily Summary report now also displays ‘Head count’ along with ‘Transaction count’.
• Added ability to enter a description against products which will be used by Fusion Online. (Requires latest Fusion Online Establishment service)
• A new ‘Purse Balance’ report which allows the user to show every users current balance for the selected purse.
• Users screen in back office now shows how many users have been selected.
• A new permission has been added for the management of User Types and allocation rules.

Bug fixes

General

• Fixed an issue with Parent Pay where clearing old forensic logs was timing out
• Fixed an issue with forensic logging when using sQuid
• Fixed an issue where ParentPay and sQuid were converting values meaning that meal deals would show as the higher value.
• Fixed an issue where a user update would overwrite ParentPay external balance.
• Users screen now shows the correct number of users in the grid after a filter is applied.
• Fixed an issue with PoS occasionally prompting “The data could not be retrieved from the server” while performing a lookup due to a database timeout.
• Fixed an issue where users that did not have the “Edit products” permission was incorrectly prevented from performing a cash up.
• Now allows pre-order cancellation time to be set earlier than the cut-off time.
• Fixed an issue where pre-orders made via Fusion Online were not able to be processed if containing multi-part items.
• Fixed an issue where you could not save a custom data source that used the Date field (not DateTime).
• Fixed issues with the ‘Revaluation list’ and ‘Coin usage’ reports showing data from other schools in the database.
• School calendar not configured prompt will no longer be displayed if the user does not have permission to configure that schools calendar.
• Fixed an issue where refunds were not showing on the correct days on the ‘Sales summary’, ‘PLU Sales’, and ‘PLU Sales (Smart)’ reports. They now show on the day the refund was performed like other reports, not the day the original sale occurred.
  Pre-order transactions are now correctly considered on the ‘Allowance Usage (Summary)’ report.
