At a recent meeting with XchangeIT, it was asked if the Access POS Software separated the three magazine return types into separate files and in addition could newsagents process and send the completed "electronic" return back to XchangeIT whenever the newsagent wanted. The answer was a most definate YES.
XchangeIT mentioned that the reason for asking was because they have found some other Newsagency POS Software apart from the Access POS Software did not do this and instead sent back a single file return which included early, normal & late. This caused problems for newsagents if they attempted to process early returns via the distributors website as a result of the inability of the POS Software to process an early return prior to the normal return. Subsequently, when newsagents did complete their return via their POS Software it duplicated the early return.
Newsagents do not want headaches. They want POS Software to make their life easier.
