Selling items that may also be part of multi packages
We have made it possible in self-service POS to trigger a dialog for customer when registering a single item that may also be part of multi packages. This may serve as a reminder to customer to enter correct quantity if item is registered by scanning the single item barcode instead of the barcode for the multi package. By aborting the dialog one single item will be added to the receipt.

Max amount for Lottery winnings (Finance)
Tender type finance is limited by a new parameter "MaxTenderFinanceAmount". If the amount supplied is too high, error message is shown.
Password requirement when changing password in POS and Chain Web
The cashier password is validated against CashierService, before it is changed in POS. If a new cashier password does not meet the requirements, the validation error message is displayed to the cashier. The password validation fails when the new password is the same as the current password or when it is too short.

| Price calculation | Missing bundle information (RTP-12786) We have done changes to mix 44 that gives discount on discount to make sure items are assigned unique ID's during calculation. Previously, the ID could randomly match the ID of other discounts causing problems with calculation and missing discount/bundle information in the POSLog XML. |

|
| POS WCF | Mixing EAN20 scan code and base EAN cause wrong quantities (RTP-3552) Fixed an issue where scanning an EAN22 (discounted) scan code in combination with scanning the original EAN (undiscounted) scan code of the same item, would cause faulty accumulation/calculation of quantities. |
| POSLog | Failed startup of POS when downgrading from higher program version (RTP-12231) A problem that could occur if POS version needed to be downgraded is fixed, e.g. after an upgrade witch uncovered a problem. If the downgraded version had a lower version of poslog.xml, POS would fail to start. Problem was related to necessary routines for fetching the last receipt, to get the last digital signature. |

The BatchLoader job from POS Import package is now able to fetch ItemPrice and ItemChanges blobs exported from ItemMaster and import them to corresponding tables in POS Master database (staging.FlatVPI and staging.FlatPrice). No changes have been done in POS Master database. Existing SQL procedures are used to process data from staging tables.

POS Services host config file: MessagingServiceSMTPUseMDS When activated, mail sending requests are forwarded to MDS in EG Cloud. The existing parameters TenantApiUrl and TenantApiAppId must also be configured to be able to communicate from POS Service to EG Cloud. POS Services worker config file: EnabledWorkers Remove mail from the list of active workers since this job is no longer needed. |
