Circle System Updates for July 2022

July was a busy month. We’ve added the ability to print a pick list for a selected customer. Improvements to Credit notes mean you are now able to generate cr notes from the POS to apply to unpaid invoices. Improvements to the Xero integration and Circle Gift Cards have also been released. For Groups we’ve created a group gift card report to give a total outstanding in the head office site.
