Increased timeout for price calculation
The handling of possible price calculation timeouts in POS has been improved. If prices can not be calculated within the default timeout period, caused by too many possible mixmatch combinations, POS may perform an extra price calculation when switching to payment view.
Service orders from Chain Classic and other orders from Chain Web
POS can search for Service orders from Chain Classic while other order types are fetched from Chain Web. This makes it possible to migrate to Chain Web as order master even if Chain Web does not support Service orders.
Extension in import of campaign group from Chain Classic
There is done an extension in POS Master for import of campaign group from Chain Classic. The extension is related to sales channels, where it's added more mappings.
New mappings:
- 4 Handheld shopping (Datema terminal or mobile phone) -> ShopAndGoMobile + ShopAndGoTerminal
- 5 Mobile phone -> ShopAndGoMobile

| JournalService | Fix for updating customer order id's in the sequence number table in database (RTP-15986) There is now done a fix related to customer order id's in the sequence number table in the journal database. So now all orders except orders that are created in POS will update the sequence number. Previous the number would be set to the highest number, regardless of where the order was created. This would cause problem when reinstalling POS, because store central database would be updated with this number (and get in conflict with number series from Chain/WCF). PS: For this fix to be effective it's important to do cleanup/refresh in the [Lindbak POS Journal].[dbo].[sequencenumber] table in the database. Where the 'NumerSeriesId' = 6, just set 'LastNumber' to 0. ** |
