Fuel support (Closed Loop) in Baxi.Agent pay terminal solution
EG POS has added support for "Closed Loop" (Fuel integration) in Baxi.Agent pay terminal solution from Nets. This enables special handling in POS when using certain cards that are used in fuel stores only. For instance may certain cards limit which products customer is allowed to buy, and if customer registrer the car's mileage and registration number on the terminal this information may be written on the receipt. The solution uses pay terminal types like Lane/5000 and Lane/3000.
Putting receipt on-hold for online return
A new POS configuration parameter (AllowReceiptOnHoldForOnlineReturn) is added to be able to control whether a receipt with an online return will be allowed to be put on hold or not. It is also not allowed to do a second online return for an item that has been previously returned, put on-hold, and returned successfully.
Required
POS Master 3.0.0.160.
Cashier card login (MSR input)
Data is added to MSR input now, thanks to new parameter AddDataToMSRTrack2Input.

| Bank | Signature payment in self-service mode for Swedbank Pay pay terminal solution (RTP-28326) When a pay terminal transaction in SwedbankPay solution triggers the need of customer's signature, the necessary dialogues to be shown in self service POS are now adapted. EG POS will pause, telling customer that a signature is needed. When staff arrives and scans cashier card a dialogue is shown where the written signature may be approved or rejected. Despite of this adaption SwedbankPay is still supported in cashier mode only, not yet in self-service mode. Configurable triggering of refund even when criteria for a reversal is present (RTP-29981) It is now possible to configure POS to always trigger a pay terminal refund, and never reversal, even if criteria for a reversal is met. The advantage of a refund is that the payment card has to be presented to the the terminal, hence one knows which card will get the payment refunded. The disadvantage of a reversal is that this operation does not need any card to be presented. There is only shown a question to cashier asking if last transaction wants to be cancelled. There may be situations where a cashier cancels a transaction that shouldn't have been because of two different customers involved. This new parameter will secure that no pay terminal transactions are accidentally cancelled. Previously the was a possibility to configure, on a cashier level by 'roles', whether or not a cashier should be presented the reversal dialogue. This way of configuration is no longer possible. POS Configuration: New parameter: 'AllowPayTerminalReversal' (default 'True') - If deactivated, reversals are always replaced by refunds. |

| Coopay | Improved age control performed via Coopay (RTP-29278) Age control performed via Coopay in self-service POS is now improved. The changes will have effect when registering non-alcohol items like e.g. tobacco and DVD's. These items do not have any time restriction regarding when they are allowed to be sold. If member app's QR code is scanned prior to such item being added to receipt Coopay will perform the age control immediately. If approved, the red "early warning" message to surveillance monitor is skipped, and replaced by the message saying age was approved by Coopay. By this, the number of red messages that needs staff's attention may be reduced. (Selling alcohol items make no difference compared to previous versions). In addition there is added functionality to minimize the risk of possible fraud in self-service POS: If age is approved by Coopay, making Coopay tender be started automatically, switching to any other tender will trigger a normal age control, where staff is needed. If, for some reason, customer switches back to Coopay, no new age control is triggered, since already approved earlier.

| Flight integration | Age approval and warning for quota exceeded from self-service (RTP-29828) When the customer adds an item with age requirement to the receipt in self-service, a message is immediately sent to Monitor App so an employee can approve it.

Customer scans 4 more bottles of wine and exceeds the toll quota limits. 4. Cashier approves age in Monitor App 5. Quota exceeded message is sent to Monitor App 6.
