Since the Last Update

In February work continued on the new Circle gift card system. It links into many parts of the system so it’s turning out to be challenging to tidy up all the loose ends. We also added improvements to deals, bin fulfilment, accounts payable and purchasing. System upgrade work continued, the next milestone there is to get all automated tests passing on the new R6 build which we hope to achieve this month. When this happens the first beta sites can start using it.
