The associations are sorted alphabetically, but already selected associations are shown at the top of the list (to make it easier to find the selected ones). Customer groups that contain associations can be specified in the new parameter 'AssociationCustomerGroups'.
Required:
Database POS Master 3.0.0.51 ([dbo].[usp_GetCustomersByCustomerGroup] procedure)

Wait until SQL Server is installed and the "Local" database is replicated when POS starts
The POS now starts, but then wait until SQL Server is installed, and the "Lindbak POS Local" database is replicated. This can take hours/days depending on how the cash register is installed.
When POS starts, it will now:
- Check if the local server/database exists.
- Check if usp_IsInitialReplicationDone procedure exists.
- Calls usp_IsInitialReplicationDone and checks if it returns 1.
If all of these are True, it will continue starting. If not, it will sleep for a while and try again. First 10 times it will sleep for 3 seconds, next 30 times for 15 seconds and then for 60 seconds.
Special group number/name in POS Master and data export
The support for SpecialGroupNo and SpecialGroupText data present in Chain Classic files has been added to POS Master database and PosApiDataExport job. The PosApiDataExport job reads data form SpecialGroupNo and SpecialGroupText fields and exports them as JSON in POSItem blobs.
