What's new in CStoreOffice® 25.8

New feature. You can now set up integration of CStoreOffice® with Altria through Petrosoft AI assistant.

Convenience store operators can streamline their tobacco sales and promotions by integrating CStoreOffice® with Altria Group Distribution Company (AGDC). This integration automates the management of Altria's rebate programs and simplifies the process of sending scan data, a crucial step for retailers to receive promotional discounts.

Setting up integration with the Altria has been made easier and faster with the help of Petrosoft AI assistant. The chat bot will guide you through the entire setup process, removing the complexities associated with integration:

• Identify the current environment configuration.
• Prompt you for essential details at each stage, such as your Altria Account Number.
• Supports Single Store & Chain account handling.​
• Set up Altria APIs.
• Set up automatic promotions download (upon your confirmation.)
• Automatically configure the connection.
• Ensures correct RCN mapping and tobacco category setup.

New feature. CStoreOffice® now supports EDI 997 Functional Acknowledgment.

The EDI 997, also known as a Functional Acknowledgment, is an electronic receipt for EDI documents. Trading partners use it to confirm that they received the delivery information, as well as see if there were any data or formatting errors. Essentially, the EDI 997 acts as a response to tell supply chain partners that information has been seen and accepted or rejected.

CStoreOffice® now generates and delivers EDI 997 Functional Acknowledgment for each received EDI 810 Invoice document.

New feature. Added a new accounting report: Tobacco Scan Data supporting JTI (Canada).

A new report, Tobacco Scan Data supporting JTI (Canada), was added to Accounting \ Export Data reports.

With this report, you can set up the transaction-level scan data export to JTI-Macdonald Corp.

For more information, read Tobacco Scan Data supporting JTI (Canada) article.

Enhancement.You can now remember your preferred method of entering taxes and services in fuel invoices and automatically use it for new invoices.

A new option, Update tax template, has been added to the Taxes & Services section of fuel invoices.

When selected, all further invoices will follow the same tax / charge entry pattern as the current invoice:

• Separate entries for each fuel type.
• Combined taxes for all fuel types.
• Combined taxes for specific fuel types only.

The entry pattern is remembered upon saving the invoice.

If this option is cleared (default), the previously remembered entry pattern will be used for new invoices.

The saved tax entry pattern will only be applied to newly added invoices. Existing invoices are not affected.

Enhancement. The Accountant Assistant is now more universal and easier to use.
