As of version 1.1.54.S PosBrowser can automatically manage newspaper price rises, bumper editions and more! Once set up, your PosBrowser system will automatically set up the stops and starts for your customers for bumper editions, change paper prices according to the supplier's releases and will also set any papers that will be stopped on public holidays with stop/start dates!

After you have completed your application forms with IPS and have received your account number, you will need to ensure that your XChangeIT link program is properly set up to receive these files.

IPS also have a policy of no early returns. Posbrowser now has a new option in Stock Mantenance that will prevent stock items from being early retunrned. When this flag is set then the item cannot be instantly returned in Stock Recieved and cannot be early returned in Stock Returns.  All stock received from IPS will be automatically marked as not being able to be early returned as per their guidelines.

For details on IPS, including whether they will be sending you DD2 files on the 30th of June and the setting up of XChangeIT, please contact IPS or XChangeIT.
