EBT WIC QDX file refresh in a 24 hour store takes 5-15 minutes at EOD 

Scenario:

1. Set up EBT WIC

2. Set the store for 24 hour operation

3. Run an EOD

4. Note the time it takes to refresh the EBT WIC QDX files (hotcard, WICitems and WICcat)

5. The terminal cannot be used for from 5 to 15 minutes depending upon the hardware

6. If these QDX files have NOT been updated by the state there is no reason to refresh them at the lanes

Expected Results: If the EBT WIC QDX files have not been updated by the state there is no reason to refresh them after an EOD thus greatly decreasing the time the terminal is unable to ring sales in a 24 hour store 

Actual Results: In a 24 hour store with EBT WIC the EBT WIC files are refreshed after an EOD whether they have been updated by the state or not. During this time, approx. 5 to 15 minutes depending upon what type of terminal hardware is in use, you cannot ring any sales. 

The normal process of refreshing a file at the POS involves getting a few records at a time from the MFS and doing an insert for each individual record.  There is also a "Fast Load" option that can be enabled in the winpos.ini for specific qdx files. Note: a bulletin is posted on the StoreNext WEB site for implementation directions and this bulletin is in the DOC directory of the 7.1.3.0-090 patch on FTP

SmartCard WIC changes for vouchers for Fruits and Vegetables.

This feature includes the ability of a new mapping interface that allows the linking of State APL numbers to in-store PLU numbers for WIC fruits and vegetables. The linking will not allow more than 5 digits for the APL number. The system also ensures that a Store PLU that exists in the State APL cannot be linked.

Added the ability for ISS45 to validate if an APL/HCL file from the state is corrupted. A validation process will now check the newly downloaded files previous to replacement in the stores.

Added the ability to sell a taxable WIC CVV item.

New feature to EBT WIC - the ending balance that prints on the receipt must come from the updated card NOT a calculated balance

Expanded the COUNT field from 2 bytes to 4 bytes - to allow a maximum of 99999 in the field.

   

New Feature

ISS45 has added an OPOS driver for the IBM 4610 printer to emulate check handling like the EPSON/TPG

Prevent FSA subtotal from going negative.   

If the FSA subtotal is ever zero, before tendering reset the FSA subtotal to zero.  Return to FSA is invalid so there is no valid reason an FSA subtotal will ever be allowed to be negative. 

An example that can cause an FSA subtotal to become zero is the following

1. Build a promotion linked to a markdown department which has the FSA Flag set.

2.  Link items to the promotion which are not flagged as FSA

3.  Ring the non FSA items until promotion requirements are satisfied.

4.  FSA subtotal will be $0.00 minus the amount of the promotion. 

Currently, the receipt will print negative FSA summary information on the receipt.

This requested fix will ensure that the FSA subtotal is never allowed to be zero by resetting a negative FSA subtotal to zero before tendering process begins.

U-Scan Customer Station stuck in EFT payment state when weight changes on scanner scale 

During EFT payment, once received the SCO_SEND_WEIGHT (OPCODE 114) message from U-SCAN,

The EFT tender state cannot be cancelled by pressing "Clear" button in PIN pad.

and the PIN pad was stuck in "Transaction Cancelled" screen.

POS should be able to cancel the EFT tender state by pressing "Clear" button in PIN pad.

SmartWIC - Aggressive Redemption Strategy (see spec attached appendix B)

The WIC EBT Grocer System must use an aggressive redemption strategy when allocating redeemed food products to WIC categories.

For a detailed description of redemption strategies, refer to WIC EBT / ESD In-Store Processing, Appendix 2.  In some cases, a given food product will qualify for redemption in more than one Subcategory within a Food Category. 

Example:   

Category        Subcategory     Aggregate Family Quantity    

01      Milk    000     All Authorized Milk     004.50 Gal   

                001     Whole Milk      000.50 Gal             

A food prescription may include Milk Food Category benefits for both the Broadband Subcategory 000 (All Authorized Milk) and the Specific Subcategory 001 (Whole Milk).  This means a gallon of Whole Milk could be redeemed either the Subcategory of Whole Milk (001) or the Broadband Subcategory of All Authorized Milk (000).  It is to the participant's advantage to redeem at the Specific Subcategory (001) level first, preserving the broader benefit Subcategory (000) for later use.  The system is required to redeem benefits "aggressively", to maximize the participant's opportunity for benefit redemption.  That maximum benefit redemption must be achieved regardless of the order in which the items are presented for authorization.

 

WD 11776 SmartWIC - added a check top ensure that the Expiration date of vouchers is alter than the Start Date.
WD 11800 Dual cash drawers -

Sometimes Function 845 and 846 do not popup when you try to display or release a drawer in a dual cash drawer system.  Using OPOS for the dual drawer. 

Scenario:

1.  No cashiers signed on. (function 845 and 846 do not pop up the screen to show drawers)

2.  One cashier signed off and did not release CD1 but CD2 is available.  (function 845 and 846 do not pop up the screen to show drawers)

3.  Two cashiers signed off and did not release CD1 or CD2.  (function 845 and 846 do show the popup correctly)

4.  One cashier signed off and did not release CD2 but CD1 is available. (function 845 and 846 do not pop up the screen to show drawers).

Expected Results: functions 845 and 846 should always work showing the current allocation or showing you what drawers can be released

Another scenario:

   A) Sign on cashier 101, ring a sale, tender for over the sale amount, cash drawer #1 opens

   B) Sign off cashier 101 but do NOT release the drawer

   C) Sign on cashier 102, ring a sale, tender for over the sale amount, cash drawer #2 opens

   D) Sign off cashier 102 but do NOT release the drawer

   E) Use function 845 (Display Drawer Allocation) work correctly shows cashier 101 on

       drawer 1 and cashier 102 on drawer 2

   F) Use function 846 (Release Drawer) and is works correctly shows cashier 101 on

       drawer 1 and cashier 102 on drawer 2

   G) Use function 846 (Release Drawer) for cashier 102

   H) Use function 845 (Display Drawer Allocation) work correctly shows cashier 101 on

       drawer 1 and NOT USED for drawer 2

   I) Use function 846 (Release Drawer) and sign off cashier 101

   J) Use function 845 (Display Drawer Allocation) and the screen flashes, nothing is displayed,

       this works correctly in V8.1.4.0-080 the screen shows no one signed on

   K) Use function 846 (Release Drawer) and the screen flashes, nothing is displayed,

        this works correctly in V8.1.4.0-080 the screen shows no one signed on 

Actual Results:  function 845 and 846 only display when both cashiers are signed off and did not release their drawers
WD 11808 WIC  - PLU History Report does not place a check mark under Payment by WIC CVV column if item is flagged as WIC CVV
WD 11815

Getting what appear to be 3 templates printing when a decline is received from Microtrax when activating a gift card. NOT using Microtrax receipts but are using local ISS45 templates. 

The first template printed is GIFT_D_ACT, the second in the order is MICROTRAX_DEN_06 and the third is GIFT_ACT_C.  The third one is wrong and shows APPROVED with the Gift Card # showing as voucher no from program. 

See the attached PDF showing the whole transaction from one order and the templates that are printing.  Also attached is the WinPOS.log and WPEFT.Txt files. 

Scenario:

1.  Scan or enter the UPC# for the gift card activation of $25.00.  We used PLU 7675003623 in our file.

2.  Total the order with Cash.  It is assumed that the gift card activation takes place after the tendering

3.  You are prompted to SWIPE $25.00 CARD W/PLU 00007675003623

4.  If you receive a decline, you will get the red popup and then the yellow popup that says Gift Card Authorization Failed ... Please have the customer take their receipt and gift card to the Service Desk.

5.  Clear the error and you will see the first template receipt that shows the decline correctly but is missing the Gift Card # then you will see the part in the order that shows the decline message but the last receipt is WRONG showing APPROVED instead of declined and also the Gift card number shows as Voucher no from program. 

Expected Results: The first template that shows declined should have the Gift card # but is blank.  The last template printer should be DECLINED but show as APPROVED.  The Gift card # on the last template is also wrong showing #voucher no from program. 

Actual Results:  see the scenario above

The WinPOS.ini file contains DisplayZeroWeight=Yes and the POST configuration screen is not checked for weight on TeamPoS.  When you sign off, the customer display will show the weight on top of the splash screen and also on top of the customer picture screens when they are cycling at sign off. Scenario:

1.Set DisplayZeroWeight=Yes in the WinPOS.ini file and uncheck Weight on TeamPoS in the POST configuration screen.  Sign off the POST and you will see the attached screen 

Expected Results: The weight should not be displayed on top to the customer screen when logged off. 

Actual Results:  Weight is showing on the splash screen and the customer pictures when they are cycling at sign off.
WD 11820

Parameter: 6,1,3,9,4 #1 not working 

After installing patch 7130-080, you cannot set Gift Card Options ON or OFF. When you F2 to update, back out and go back in, the parameter is back to the way it was. For example, IF your Gift Card in System option was OFF before the upgrade to patch 80, you cannot turn it ON. Will not hold the change
WD 11821 Control Report -

BEFORE you upgrade to 7130-080, you could run the pcmctrl /fcontrol to push a control report to an ASCII file. After you apply patch 80, you cannot do this anymore. Generates error.
