Increased timeout for price calculation
The handling of possible price calculation timeouts in POS has been improved. If prices can not be calculated within the default timeout period, caused by too many possible mixmatch combinations, POS may perform an extra price calculation when switching to payment view.
Send surveillance message for every item to self-service monitor app (only)
POS may be configured to send a surveillance message to self-service monitor (SSM) app for every item added to receipt. This will have effect in app only, not in ordinary monitor, and only in "normal view", where quantity and total amount will be updated live.
Live sale / complete receipt content (POSLog) sent to self service monitor app
When self service monitor (SSM) app triggers view of live sale, i.e. a complete receipt content, by button in app ("Se salg") POS will send an updated POSLog to surveillance app (only) for every item added. When leaving this view in app POS stops sending complete POSLog.
