Link from item info to product series
A link can be clicked in item information view to open product series view and easily see all items within the same series:
Approval of age via App integration
Age can be approved in EG POS by integration with a Norwegian Bank ID App. The App will show a QR code that can be scanned in POS. POS will then show a dialog with reason codes (social control) and an image of the customer:
(customer image will be where the EG logo is shown below)
If a reason that rejects the age validation is selected, the active receipt is automatically canceled.
Travel Service
Flight data from EG Travel service can be synchronized and persisted in POS database. This will later be used to be able to add flight data to the receipt when scanning boarding passes.
The flight data is first updated in memory every time new data is fetched from the travel service (for performance), and also dumped to the database table pos.FlightInformation as a json file. When POS is restarted it will use the flight data from the local database if POS cannot connect to the travel service to get updated flight data.
