Clear Old Alerts from the ISS45 system.

With the creation of the polling in ISS45-654 for patch 8.1.8.1-070, a new issue developed with the existing old alerts on the system.

Level Promotion not reducing as expected.

Setting up a "Pick 6 Plus" promotion under the following guidelines:
There will be several different items in a Level Promotion that are of varying prices.
When the sale hits 6 qualifying items, they will receive a new price of $19.99 total.
For each item after the promotion, the customer will be charged $3.33 (roughly 1/6 of the total price 19.99).

Setup/Scenario
Level Promotion The first item here is a $5.00 PLU, the second is a $10.00 PLU.
For the reward type, select "New Price"
For the Level Settings, select 6 for $19.99
When the transaction is rung with all of the same items, it appears to work properly.
It can seen that the first 6 items are scanned and reduced the order to $19.99.
Each item thereafter reduced the price of that item to $3.33.
However, things go wrong when you an item is added of differing cost.
Ring 6 of the $10.00 items, and it reduced properly.
Ring four more of the $10.00 item, each reducing by $6.67, which is correct.
Ring a $5.00 item, which reduced by $6.21, which appears incorrect (reducing by more than are charging?).
Then continue to ring $10.00 items until 18 total items were rung.
At this point, it should be 3 x $19.99 which should be $59.97 total.
However, it was $57.84. If it is a 6 for $19.99 promotion, this should not be determined by the original cost of the items.

Ringing in Discounts can cause a disconnect between Discount amount and Balance Due.

Scenario:
1. Create a 10% Transaction discount.
2. Create a 25% Item discount (Item Only Discount flag is checked)
3. On the POS, ring a $10.00 item, followed by a $1.00 item
4. Total - Balance due is $11.00
5. Apply Transaction Discount - Order is reduced by $0.55 (10% of $11.00)
6. Clear back to Sale Mode
7. Apply Item Discount - Order is reduced by $0.25 (25% of $1.00) At the same time, $.05 cents is added back to the order. The reason for this is because the system notices that 25% off of $1.00 is a better deal for the customer than the 5% off. So it adds back the $.05 and then reduces the dollar by 25%.
8. Total

Expected Results: Balance due should be $10.25 ($11.00 - $.80 discounts + $.05 added back on)

Actual Results: Balance due is $10.20. The $.05 is not added back. Further, the receipt will show "You Saved: $.75"

Housekeeping is not removing data in the Gen_Btch_PLU_Prices table and causes batch process to stop updating items.

Customer is using General Batches to import a Price List PLU batch. The initial batch import of 33,095 items completes without issue into SQL however not all of the items are getting updated when the item update process starts. The batch stops updating and needs to be restarted and will stop again. It was found that there were millions of entries in the Gen_Btch_PLU_Prices table. Although the GSP is set for the "Number of days to wait before deleting general batches" it appears only the batch number in ISS45 is being removed and not the actual data in this SQL table. The data in the Gen_Btch_PLU_Prices table keeps appending and growing with each import and is causing batchexe.exe to stop responding.
