Improvements POS 

Module

Description

Bank

Further improved startup when configured 'PayLink' pay terminal type (RTP-25496)

During startup of EG POS, and configured pay terminal type is 'PayLink', the health check run towards the pay terminal is now run as a part of the sign-on process. If pay terminal is not ready when user signs on (manually or automatically) an error message saying pay terminal is not ready is presented. An action from user / staff is then required to fix any problems with the terminal, in order for it to work with EG POS.

General

Showing the cursor in search view (RTP-24615)

The cursor is now showing as it should in search view. Previously the cursor was hidden until the cashier started typing. 


Expanded price column for item lines in tender view
(RTP-23959)

The price column for item lines in tender view has been expanded to show more than 4 digit prices. Previously the first one or two digits would be hidden for 5 and 6 digit prices. The change is only visible if parameter "ShowItemLinesInPayment" is set to True.

Showing the search for receipt menu (RTP-25644)

When cashier selects 'Receipt' from the search menu on the left in sales view and press 'OK' button or 'Enter' on keyboard POS will now open the search menu for where the cashier can select what type of receipts to search for. Previously the search menu was not displayed when OK/Enter was pressed.

Merging on-hold receipts from InStore App to ongoing sales in POS (RTP-22091)

Merging of on-hold receipts from InStore App to ongoing sales in POS should now work as intended. Previously receipts containing bundle items would sometimes fail to merge causing an exception in POS.

Item search

Item sold from blank search view (RTP-24925)

When performing an item search and then clicking back so the search results are cleared, an item is no longer sold when using enter button in this view:

Loyalty

Improved member search from main view (RTP-24825)

When doing a member search from Sale's view, and no member is found according to parameter 'MemberIdentifiersRegEx', a "Member not found" dialogue, including an option to create new member, will be shown to cashier, but only if parameter 'SuggestNewMemberWhenScanningUnknownIdentifier' is activated. When deactivated (default), only a mesage saying the member couldn't be found is presented.

If parameter 'MemberCardEAN29Codes' is activated neither 'MemberIdentifiersRegEx' nor 'SuggestNewMemberWhenScanningUnknownIdentifier' has effect, and if no member found in loyalty database only a message saying the member couldn't be found is presented.

Important information regarding upgrade!

For any store /Chain that uses integration with loyalty (Bridge, Voyado etc.) AND wants cashier to be able to create new member in POS there and then, IF member search results in "unknown member" message:

Existing parameter SuggestNewMemberWhenScanningUnknownIdentifier must now be activated (True) to trigger dialogue with option to create new member!

If not, only message saying "unknown member" is shown.

Previously this functionality may have been working even if the parameter was set to False, but not from now on!

POS Configuration

Relevant existing parameters:

'MemberCardEAN29Codes' (default 'True') - when activated, registered EAN13 numbers with prefix 29 are recognized as member numbers.

'MemberIdentifiersRegEx' (default empty) - may recognize scanner input as e.g. loyalty number, loyalty card, mobile phone number or social security number. Parameter has effect only when 'MemberCardEAN29Codes' = 'False'.

'SuggestNewMemberWhenScanningUnknownIdentifier' (default False) - if activated, a dialogue with possibility to create new member is shown if member not found in loyalty database. Parameter has effect only when 'MemberCardEAN29Codes' = 'False'.

POS upgrade package 

Skip running SQL scripts (RTP-25456)

When running the POS upgrade package on cash registers, the setup currently run some SQL scripts that has been causing issues at some installations. The SQL scripts should no longer be needed, so this is removed from the setup.

Self-service

Aborted Aera pay terminal transactions due to inactivity (RTP-24852)

If a started transaction with Aera pay terminal solution times out (configurable) due to customer's inactivity, the transaction is now completely aborted, making customer able to try again, or pay otherwise. Previously an incorrect message saying customer's signature was needed was shown in similar situation.

Surveillance service version 1.3.1 implemented (RTP-25636)

Latest version 1.3.1 of Surveillance service is implemented in EG POS.   

System

Synchronization Status (RTP-25479)

In System Status Tab the Synchronization Status now shows the correct status. It previously showed "Deactivated" even though the correct status is "Awaiting".

User interface 

Compressed view of items in Convenience Sales for linked items (RTP-25069)

When adding items with linked items (e.g. bottle deposits), in convenience sales view, the space between item and linked item is now smaller, making it a more compressed view. This allows the user to see a greater amount of items without scrolling.
