Shift Closure Outlet List (Quality of Life Improvement) 

Added a new screen in the shift closure workflow, that allows the user to select an outlet.
This screen also indicates which outlets are open or closed, their current shifts, as well as when they were closed (if closed).

Increase Minimum Date For Shift Totals, Invoice History & Sales Mix 

Increases the minimum allowed date for invoice history, shift totals, and sales mix to 5 years ago from the current system date for the property. 
Other: 
Loading messages are now used as a placeholder for the print preview screens while the data is being fetched. No more "No document preview is available..." while you wait. 
The loading message part has also been extended to the menu screen when making an order. This affected the tablet the most where you would see "There seems to be nothing on the menu here..." while the menu was loading

Supplier Tax Exemption

It is now possible to mark a stock supplier as tax exempt.
New orders and deliveries created with such a supplier will have line item VAT calculated as zero.
The tax exemption status will persist for an order or delivery upon creation.
This means that changing the tax exempt flag on a supplier will not affect existing orders and deliveries for that supplier.
A delivery will inherit the tax exemption status of its stock order, if an order is selected.
The tax exemption status of an order or delivery is reported in their respective listing reports.

With the "Limited Bump Screen", users will be able to view orders and complete order items.
The "Manage Bump Screen" right will be required to update the order status.
If the signed-in user does not have the "Manage Bump Screen", then supervisor authorization is required to update order statuses.

Bump Screen Notification Sounds & Other Changes

Primary Changes
It is now possible to set a notification sound that will play when a new order appears on the selected tab on the Bump Screen.
See the "Bump Screen
• Notification Sound" setting on the App Preferences screen in the mobile app.
This is only applicable where licensed for "POS Orders".
Other Changes
The bump screen can now be configured to split the "Home" tab into "Pending" and "Preparing" tabs instead.
This will make the tablet bump screen consistent with the TV version.
See the "Bump Screen
• Split Home Tab" setting on the App Preferences screen in the mobile app.
This is only applicable to tablet devices and where licensed for "POS Orders".
Most app preferences are now considered global, with the exception of "Active Invoice Display".
The app preference screen now includes tabs for "Personal" and "Global" app preferences.
Global app preferences apply to the device for all users.
Personal app preferences apply only to the signed in user.
Global app preferences now require a user right to change: "Manage Global App Preferences".
 A new app preference was added called "Default App Mode".
This is a global app preference.
The default app mode will be used when the app is opened or when a user signs in.
The app mode will revert to "Standard App" if the default app mode is not supported or if the user does not have access.
The primary goal is to make it easier to use alternative app modes for dedicated devices without having to navigate to the app mode selection screen in the app settings.
e.g. Dedicated bump screen devices can be configured so that when a user signs in, the app will go straight to the bump screen.

Stock Control Keyboard Shortcuts 

Added keyboard shortcuts for adding line items when creating or updating most stock processes, except manufacturing and stock take at this time. 
This quality of life improvement is intended to improve productivity. 
The shortcut is "control" + "=" (MacOS) or "control" + "alt" + "=" (Windows, Linux), and is only applicable when the line item table is visible, the process is in an editable state, and the existing line items are in a valid state. 
The keyboard shortcut can be seen in a tooltip on the "Add Item" button in case you forget it. 
When a new line item is added, the product field will automatically gain focus, allowing you to start typing the name of the product you want. 
Alternatively, pressing the "down" arrow on your keyboard should bring up a list of products from which to choose.

 Discount Payment Rules  

Discounts: Payment Type Restrictions

It is now possible to configure payment type restrictions for discounts.
This can be done from the discount page in the web app.
Please note that if multiple discounts are applied to an invoice, then the allowed payment types are the intersection of those allowed by all the applied discounts.
e.g. If Discount A allows Cash and Credit Card, and Discount B allows Cash and EFT, and both are applied to an invoice, then the only payment type allowed is Cash.
Discounts: Bypass Supervisor Authorization
A flag has been added to discounts that allows a discount to be configured such that it ignores supervisor authorization when a discount is applied.
This means that anyone can apply that discount to an invoice or a transaction without supervision.
This flag is set to disabled by default and it is recommended to leave it disabled.
This flag also causes Multi-Factor Authorization (MFA) to be ignored (See Outlets) when the discount is applied.

On a registered device, one can scan the QR code after selecting "Register Another Device" from the "More" tab.
This feature can also be used on devices with cameras as an alternative method of registration where the camera may be difficult to access and use.

RoomRaccoon PMS Interface 

Added RoomRaccoon as a new PMS supported API.
Notes:
There are no mappings for the outlets but there is a mapping needed for the outlet to show that room charges are enabled. 
The group mappings need to be given to RoomRacoon so they can map it (if I understand correctly).
Supported lookup types are Room Number and Name

Stock Order Templates

Added a new feature which allows users to create order templates. A user can create a template from scratch or convert an existing confirmed order into a template.
To convert a confirmed order into a template, navigate to the order screen and look for a confirmed order, on the right hand side where the delete button is there is a new button that gives the user the option to create a template with the data from the order.
To create a template from scratch, in the navigation bar there is a new menu option called Order Templates.
To use a template to create an order, navigation to the order screen. On the top right hand corner of the screen next to the Create button is a new button label Create Order From Template.
This new feature is user rights driven, the user will need the right "Manage Stock Order Templates" to access the Order Templates screen.
