  • CoSAT – Price check allows checking multiple items

FIXES

  • Colors – Some border colors have been changed to avoid blending with the button color

  • Employee Hours – Time validation has been improved
  • File Exports – Choosing [Back] when exporting a file generates a correct filename
  • File Exports – Some users experienced instability when exporting SPINs data.  A fix is included in this software update.  Please report further issues with SPINs exports to CoPOS Support.

  • Sales and Promotions – When sale dates overlap the last CAP sale takes precedence
  • Tax – Sales tax on EBT items is calculated correctly (via System Constant #42)
  • Menu 1.1 – Record a Sale – When entering payment all quantities are checked for zero values.  The user is prompted to specify a quantity.  This is an infrequent and rare issue.  Please contact CoPOS Support if you can replicate this behavior.
