Handling both physical and digital gift cards form SVS
There has been done changes regarding handling of gift cards. This will make it possible able to handle both physical and digital gift cards from SVS in POS.
PS: Parameter 'RemoveInScannerInput' - this must be removed when starting to use this new functionality.
Shared SafePay cash changer between 2 cash registers
We have made changes in EG POS making it possible to share 1 cash changer of type "SafePay" (only) between 2 connected cash registers. Solution works in both cashier mode and self-service mode, but SafePay needs to have hardware and software that supports sharing as well.
When configured SafePay to be shared, behavior in POS is different from when there is a one-to-one connection.
Main differences:
- SafePay will not be able to receive customer's money "at all time".
- If money is tried to be put on SafePay too early, the money will be immediately fed out of the machine.
- Cashier, or customer in self service mode, needs to choose 'Cash' as wanted payment. Then POS will log on to SafePay, making it be exclusively connected to actual POS, and unavailable for the other POS.
- SafePay now accepts customer's money to be put into the machine.
- If trying to connect to SafePay by pressing 'Cash' button, and SafePay is already occupied by the other POS, an error message is shown, telling cashier / customer to try again later.

Configuration of default search view
Previously, all search views had the same default view type. A new parameter configures which result view is shown as default for every type of search (item, order, customer etc.).
Support for Coopay Offline in POS
There is now implemented support for Coopay Offline in POS. Making it possible to pay with the Coopay app even though necessary services to do a normal Coopay-payment is offline or unavailable. Transactions done with Coopay Offline are stored temporarily in StoreCentral-database until required services are online, then sent forward to cloud services for processing.
