Integration with WebDok for Boarding Pass validation
A Boarding Pass can be scanned in POS to add flight data to the receipt. (Flight data must be synchronized from Avinor and the unique flight id in the boarding pass must match the unique flight id of an active flight).
The header in POS will show flight information and the number of passengers and the number of available quotas for alcohol and tobacco.
Sealing items and printing STEB receipt in self checkout POS
If configured, STEB receipts can be printed for the last completed transaction in self checkout mode. The receipt is printed by the cashier that supervises the SCO POS by pressing an invisible button (200 x 200 pixels) that's located in the top right hand corner of the 'Goodbye page' and the 'Welcome page'. To determine whether a STEB receipt is needed the customer need to answer a 'Yes' or 'No' question about the final flight destination before the payment page in SCO.
Support for drawer number 2 for Security Tamper Evident Bags (STEB)
To enable having STEB bags in a separate cash drawer in POS we have support for two cash drawers being connected to POS simultaneously. The second cash drawer can be opened via button configured to use the existing 'OPEN_CASH_DRAWER' function. This function has been extended to take cash drawer number as an argument to specify what drawer to open.
Printing STEB receipts for tax free stores in POS
New function has been created to print STEB receipts in POS. The function is assigned to a button and it is used to print one or more extra receipts with the text "STEB receipt" for the last completed receipt in POS. The STEB receipts are meant to be put inside a plastic pocket inside the secure tamper evident bag alongside the items purchased before the bag is sealed by the cashier. There are no limit to the number of STEB receipts that can be printed.
Number of associations linked to members
It is configurable if POS should allow linking multiple associations to a member or not. If just 1 association is allowed, an error message will be shown when trying to link another:
Automatic start of Coopay payment in manned POS
Coopay payment, if available for active customer due to his or her member app, may now be configured to start automatically when cashier enters payment view. If not configured existing dialogue is shown to cashier as before, where Coopay or other tender must be chosen.
Maintaining cashiers in User Management - Manifest of cashier permissions in POS API
A manifest of cashier permissions has been implemented in POS API. This manifest is used by User Management to know which permissions a cashier can have. (For example: Cancel receipt, Delete line etc)
Each time POS API is released, any new permissions will be added automatically to User Management so it can be used in user roles to give permissions to cashiers.
This initial release will add the following permissions to User Management:
Support for importing all of these new permissions has been added to POS Import and POS Master database.
The "old" POS permissions in User Management have been moved toa separate group "deprecated - do not use":
These should not be used and will be removed in the future when retailers using them have been migrated to using the new permissions.
Recognize barcodes that allow add price discount to the specific item
A new parameter can be configured to recognize a barcode that gives discount to a specific item by setting new price in amount.
Example when scanning a barcode with new price 80:
| POS Configuration |

New parameter: DiscountLabelRegEx Configures a Regex for a new item price discount. Example value:
Parameter is set to recognize 20 digit barcodes where digit 14 is zero. First 13 digits in the barcode is EAN. Last 6 digits in the barcode is the new price. Where enter for example 00000000060070008000, it sets a new price 80 for item with EAN 6007. |

A Swedish person with a birth date between 31.12.1999 and 01.01.2010 will typically have between one and three leading zeros at the start of their social security number depending on the month and year they were born.

User can add either a web order item first or add an item from the store first. When the user starts adding a web order item and then scans or adds another item, a pop-up message to either add the newly scanned or added item to order or sale is shown.
