| General | Putting receipt on hold no longer generates missing sequence numbers (RTP-27959) When a receipt is put on hold this may no longer generate missing sequence numbers. For a short period of time this could happen due to previous changes. When an item is added to receipt via a configured key on physical keyboard like e.g. PREH, and the item is immediately afterwards wanted to be deleted, the delete function will now delete the correct item line (the active line, which has focus).

Payment input field cleared correctly after member search (RTP-27435) When a member is searched for by registering SSN or mobile number or member number in payment input field in payment view, this field is now correctly cleared when search is done.

Trimming of scanner inputs when there are spaces at the end of barcode (RTP-24063) In situations where an item's barcode contains one or more spaces at the end, i.e. the printed barcode does not have correct content, these spaces are now trimmed / removed.

This code may be scanned by customer with the mobile phone, leading to a link / website where the payment may be finished. Improved handling of mobile payment attempts when PaymentService throws error (RTP-20209) In situation where mobile payments like e.g. Vipps, Swish etc. is used, and PaymentService throws a 'TaskCanceledException', POS will retry the payment until successfully finished, or until cashier aborts the started payment. Both the retry attempts and the abort attempts will be verified being successful by POS. This will secure that payments are either finished or aborted in both POS and in mobile. | ||
