Allow recall of drive off receipts via the Recall no means to pay screen

ED-1682 - Getting issue details... STATUS

A drive off receipt can now be recalled via the till (the same way as a no means to pay receipt).

Payout at tender stage

ED-1900 - Getting issue details... STATUS

The payout menu item will now be enabled at the tender stage of a transaction on the till. This means that payouts such as lottery/scratch cards can be done at the end of the transaction.

When selecting the payout menu item at the tender stage the user can put through a payment as normal and it will be processed as a tender. If the payout amount is greater than the transaction total the difference will be shown as change. See example below:

In the backoffice there will be two transactions shown in the transaction viewer - one for the main transaction with the payout as a tender and another for the payout transaction.

There is an option in the global till options in the backoffice called "Allow Payout at Tender". If this is unticked the payout menu item will never be enabled at the tender stage. By default it is enabled.

Fuel Enhancements

Redesign of stacked fuel on icon

Stacked fuel now takes up equal space on the icon. Also the pump No is now displayed when fuel is stacked on the smaller icons.

Performance improvements to enabler Interface

The interface with enabler has been rewritten to improve performance with the Enabler controller.

Improved response when an authorisation fails

When an cashier authorises a Calling event and the enabler returned a failure, this failure was not being communicated back to the cashier. This has been changed so all authorisation failures display a message back to the cashier.

An authorisation can fail due to a pending price change on the controller or the controller has already hit the limit of stacked fuel allowed
