Multi-country: Using VAT from price in POS
Support for multi-country VAT rates exported from the Item Management module has been implemented in POS Import and EG POS. When adding an item in POS, the VAT rate specified as an attribute on the price is used if it has a value. Otherwise, the value from the item is used (like before).
Support for importing prices with valid to / from datetime in the store's local time has been also been added to make sure that a price created in multi-country Item Management starts on the correct time in each country.
Searching for items in the same product series
If configured, product series field is displayed in item information and item search detail views.
A new function to search for all items with the same product series was also implemented. When accessed through Item Search, items with the same Product series value as the selected row in the search will be shown:
There are radio buttons in the header to be able to swap from showing all items or just the items that are available in the store's stock. Items are be sorted in alphabetical order.
Search and view Suppliers Item Number
Support for searching items by Supplier's Item Number has been added to POS.
Example search of suppliers item number using new SearchConfig=19 for column setup:
Don't show price when performing item transactions in POS
When performing item transactions in POS, the sales price of the items may now be shown as '0' (zero) both in POS user interface and on the printed receipts (configurable).

EG POS has added support for PSDK (Global) API from Verifone, using pay terminal types like P630 and M424. Terminal may be connected to POS via Ethernet cable or WIFI (only).
