Random control of customers in Self-service (SCO)
Previously, the random control mechanism in EG POS was a purely manual and visual control performed by the store employee.
A configurable and assisted control mechanism has now been implemented.
- The control will be performed while still in self-service mode.
- The employee will be informed how many items need to be controlled.
- Items that are not scanable, i.e. they do not have a barcode / are chosen by customer from PLU list, may be controlled quickly by an 'OK' button.
- Items are listed in the opposite order of customer's registration, with not scanable items on top.
- If the control results in a deviation all items will be deleted automatically and all items must be registered again.
- (To be able to keep member, coupons, deposit refund tickets and eSale products etc., the same receipt is used.)

Simplified age control messages not shown correctly in cashier mode
Simplified age control messages are now shown correctly in both cashier mode and self-service mode. Logic regarding existing parameters 'AskForBirthday' and 'AskForBirthdayOnlyAlcohol' has been necessarily changed:
The newest parameter 'AskForBirthdayOnlyAlcohol' depend on the oldest 'AskForBirthday' to be True, in order to have effect. This makes it possible to configure birthday dialogue popup never to be shown.

| General | Improved focus handling for when minimizing POS (RTP-19501) There has been done a fix regarding focus handling for when minimizing POS. Previous POS was always activated in the background, this made it difficult to carry out other tasks e.g. access file folders or open web-browser. Improved focus handling in POS (RTP-18720) There has been done a fix for improved focus handling in POS. Previous the main window of POS some times took unnecessary focus away from certain dialogs and input-fields. This could e.g. result in having difficulties to confirm a dialog, or exit a dialog. Closing of new/edit member dialog using esc-button(RTP-19005) There is now possible to close new/edit member dialog using the button. Previous the dialog wouldn't close if pressing esc. |

| Payment | Pay terminal waiting for pending background operations (RTP-19016) There is done a fix for bank tender waiting for pending background operations, e.g. when POS is fetching member coupons. Previously pay terminal transaction might be finished before all coupons were fetched.

This makes a total of 36 digits sent, which is identical to content of the printed barcode that ExitFlow will have to compare with. Relevant existing parameter UseExitFlow (default 'False') - if activated, ExitFlow will validate receipt barcode regarding opening the gate or not. Running self-service on customer screen (RTP-19304) When self-service mode is running on customer screen the information message shown on main screen, to remind cashier about this mode is running, is yet again shown at all time, until mode is aborted by cashier by clearing the message.
