The Drawer Memo area of POS Pro was updated with the following capabilities:
****
Midday counts allow for checking drawer balance during the day and ensuring there are no discrepancies. Additionally, if no cash payments were made after a midday count, the latter can be used as the end-of-day count to speed up the store closing procedures.
Note that midday counts can be performed multiple times throughout the day but are not a requirement for finalizing the Drawer Memo.
Masking expected amounts may be useful for preventing store associates from simply copying the expected amount when counting money in the drawer. That would ensure no discrepancies are present and the cash is properly counted.
To perform a midday count, in POS Pro:
On the Home Screen, in the right-side panel, tap View in the DRAWER MEMO section 1 :
Tap Midday Count at the bottom-right 1 : Please note that, in the Drawer Memo area, the time and date of the last midday count are available in the left-side panel 2 . In the right side-panel, the Last Midday Over/Short amount is shown 3 .

In the Drawer Cash – Midday Count area that opens, tap Open Drawer at the bottom 1 and count the cash: After counting:
To define if the denomination grid is shown and required for midday counts, under chq > settings > drawer management > drawer memo settings
, configure the denomination entry on midday count field.
Tap Next at the bottom-right.
In the COMPLETE – Summary area, review the details of your count and then tap Save at the bottom-right.
To enable masking of expected amounts in POS Pro, in CHQ under settings > drawer management > drawer memo settings
, select the mask expected amount totals checkbox.

When an expected amount is hidden, users will be notified when entering a counted amount that doesn’t match the expected amount. In particular, that applies to the following fields:
Drawer Memo > Start of Day > Drawer Cash – Opening Count
Drawer Memo > End of Day > Drawer Cash – Closing Count
Drawer Memo > Midday Count > Drawer Cash – Midday Count
When the expected and counted amounts don’t match, the Not the Expected Amount dialog appears:

We’re introducing a standardized user interface for interacting with credit card payment processors in POS Pro V6.
This update allows users to interact with integrated payment processors via a standardized workflow in POS Pro. This eliminates the need for special training when using several integrations in the retailer’s environment at the same time. It also may help reduce the possibility of human error.

As of version 6.34 of the software, Teamwork Commerce Pro Suite can support multiple gift card types. This becomes possible via introducing a unified approach to gift card processing.
Also, as a part of this update, in addition to existing Teamwork’s native gift card functionality, we have added integration with the GiveX gift card payment processor.
Teamwork native gift cards can now be used along with GiveX gift cards on the same Sales Receipt.
Teamwork and GiveX gift cards will perform with the same user interaction at the mobile level. In POS, it’s just required to select what kind of gift card it is on a payment method. The respective gift card type is then passed to CHQ, and CHQ processes that gift card type accordingly.
Teamwork native as well as GiveX gift cards are redeemed in exactly the same way:
POS requests a charge amount (for example, $50).
If the gift card has the amount requested on the card, the transaction is approved.
If the gift card has less than the amount requested, the payment is still approved, but only for the balance remaining on the card (forced redemption).
The payment method is then updated to record the reduced amount as the payment. The remaining sum is captured via a different payment method.
If the gift card has a zero balance, the payment is rejected.
The update aims at reducing the time required to administer gift card payments.
With this update, it is only possible to redeem GiveX gift cards.
Please be advised that the following functionality is currently NOT supported for GiveX and will be addressed in future versions:
To be able to make use of the integration with GiveX, the respective payment method as well as payment processing settings must be configured in CHQ. For information on how to do so, see Configuring integration with Givex in CHQ Version 6.34 Release Guide.

Build 6.34.234: PRO-6474
POS Pro V6 can now retrieve customer records from Fortress and apply Fortress discounts to the sale.
Fortress is a payment provider commonly used in the stadium space.
With this update, customers that have Fortress gift cards or tickets can have their Fortress records retrieved in POS Pro. That allows for applying the customer’s available discount to the sale.
For Fortress discounts to be available in POS Pro, Fortress integration must be configured:
settings > sales > payment processing >
the fortress
section, orsettings > location settings > locations / location settings > [selected location] > payments >
the payment processing - fortress
sectionUnder the locations described above, make sure that the enable customer integration and enable Fortress discounts checkboxes are selected.
Clients upgrading from Version 4 can use the same credentials already set up for Fortress.
Also, please note that if URL, username, and password are defined at the location level, POS Pro uses the location-level settings over the company-level settings.
To apply a Fortress discount, in POS Pro:
On the Home Screen, tap New Sale.
Add items to the sale. Note that Fortress discounts can be applied before or after adding sale items.
Tap the Customer tab at the top. On the Customer tab, the following sections are available:
The name of the Fortress section can be changed in CHQ under settings > sales > payment processing > fortress
by defining the search label field. If the field is blank, Fortress
displays in POS Pro by default.
In the Fortress section, search for the required customer by:
Once the customer is found, the following information will be available under FORTRESS CUSTOMER:
Additionally, the user has the following options:
Also, in the right-side panel showing totals, the Customer Discount field will appear showing the total Fortress discount:
Build 6.34.234: PRO-4861
We’ve updated the synchronization process between POS Pro and CHQ. In particular:
This update is helpful in a scenario where POS Pro is deleted from the device shortly after a user’s password was changed. Synchronizing after the initialization allows for sending the updated login credentials to POS. That will allow the user to log in with the new password.
In POS Pro, initialization is performed:
Settings > Administration
Now, after initialization or re-initialization is complete and the user taps Done, synchronization begins in the Synchronize dialog:
If the user taps Cancel during synchronization, the Cancel Synchronize dialog appears with the following message: Cancelling this process may result in out-of-date login credentials. Are you sure?
Tapping Yes cancels synchronization and opens the user login dialog.
Build 6.34.234: PRO-7395
POS Pro now respects the RFID allowed prefixes setting configured in CHQ undersettings > sales > POS settings >
the general
section.
When working in conjunction with an RFID reader, POS Pro now ignores RFID item tags with Electronic Product Codes (EPCs) that do not start with the prefixes defined in the RFID allowed prefixes setting. Please note that if no prefixes are defined, all EPCs are read by POS Pro.
This feature may be useful if the company uses RFID tags that don’t belong to the product catalog (for example, security tags) and shouldn’t appear in POS Pro.
Build 6.34.248: PRO-7559
