Feature updates:
Discounts
For "Spend $X on Items, Receive $Y off transaction", we made a change to how we calculate $X. Up until now, the total qualifying amount for $X had to be from one specific item (even when multiple categories or items configured as qualifying). Now, the total qualifying amount will be reached with any and all items that are configured as qualifying.
Example
Refunding
Terminals can be configured to not allow Non-Receipted Returns. Previously all terminals could access Receipted Returns (where the user locates the original order to process the refund) and Non-Receipted Returns (where the user selects items to refund without pulling up original order). Now, that can be configured so that Non-Receipted Returns will not be available at all.
Connect Flag
Terminal Roles > Checkout > Non-Receipted Refund = No
If you choose to leave this set to Yes, you can still lock it behind a manager PIN.
Terminals can be set up to force Receipted Returns to the original tender paid. When this is configured, if an order was paid for with a certain credit card, the refund will only be able to be applied to the same credit card, etc.
Connect Flags
Terminal Roles > Checkout > Restrict All Tenders During Refund
Terminal Roles > Manager Override > All Tenders Refund
Setup Options
Payments
Added PAX Elavon error handling for scenarios where a device has an open batch and a new TID is assigned within Asset Management.
