Improvements POS
Module | Description |
|---|---|
| Bank | Improved startup when configured 'PayLink' pay terminal type (RTP-24955) During startup of EG POS, and configured pay terminal type is 'PayLink', the health check run towards the pay terminal is now postponed apx. 2-3 seconds. This is to better secure that the terminal is up an running before the health check, hence to avoid presenting a misleading error message saying the terminal is not working, when it may actually be working. Version 3.61.3 of PSDK integration (RTP-24164) For PSDK pay terminals we have implemented version 3.61.3 of the integration from Verifone in EG POS. Existing functionality verified ok. This is the version of PSDK with which EG POS is certified for use in customer's Production environments. |
| Bonus Service | Support for Bonus Service version 2 (RTP-24575) There a done changes in EG POS to support version 2 of Bonus Service. |
| General | Removal of "Could not get country code from the current store configuration" in logs (RTP-25065) Logs are no longer spammed with "Could not get country code from the current store configuration" information. |
| Line discount | Line discount with price guarantee for fixed price items (RTP-25104) When AllowLineDiscountOnFixedPriceItems parameter is set to TRUE in POS Configuration, adding a line discount with price guarantee for fixed price items no longer throws an error in POS. |
| Loyalty | Fetching bonus from original receipt for online return (RTP-24935) The message shown when trying to use online return on a receipt that has not yet been updated in Reporting database was changed from 2 to 5 minutes expected delay. |
| Printer | Printed barcodes with incorrect content (from 'A799' printers) (RTP-20418) Sometimes printed barcodes written on printers type 'A799', often used with POS type Hewlett Packard, have not been able to be read in EG POS when being scanned. A printed copy of the same receipt may have been correct, even though the original receipt was not. Problem is caused by print module / OPOS drivers. To secure that the printed barcode in such types of POS / printers always have correct content a new parameter makes it possible to overrule printer device name reported by OPOS drivers. POS Configuration: New parameter: 'PosPrinterCompatibilityMode' (default empty) - If configured to 'IBM', the device name reported by OPOS for connected printer will be overridden. For POS / printers with reported problems like described registry parameter 'Code128DefaultStart' should at the same time be set (back) to '106'. |
| Self-service | Reduced timeout for surveillance messages (RTP-25046) Timeout for sending surveillance message via cloud is reduced from 20 seconds to 3 seconds. This will make messages being delayd far less time if e.g. there are internal problems in Azure. Shorter delays will better secure (manual) controls are triggered. In addition, SocketExceptions will now be logged as a warnings. |
Voyado integration | Changing consent to Voyado member terms from POS for existing member (RTP-24956) Cashiers will now be able to change the consent to Voyado member terms from the edit member view for existing members. Previously the consent could only be set when a new member was created in POS and not for existing members. |

Digital receipt sending for members (RTP-23743) The digital receipt is always sent to the member, regardless of the configuration set up on the member's account. |
