WD 262315

POS - Online WIC can cause delays at the beginning of sale. The ScanMaster POS checks for a new APL, CAT and State file at the top of every sale. Before copying the file, it checks the CRC to make sure a copy is needed. The problem is, the CRC calculation of the server file is causing high network traffic and possibly delays - especially if on a slow network.

Scenario:
1. Have a large APL file on the system (producing a large .REG)
2. Run a 10 base-T network hub

Expected Results: No delay at the beginning of sale.

Actual Results: ~1 second per meg delay at the beginning of sale.

WD 262316

Front Office - Online WIC can cause delays at the beginning of sale. The ScanMaster POS checks for a new APL, CAT and State file at the top of every sale. Before copying the file, it checks the CRC to make sure a copy is needed. The problem is, the CRC calculation of the server file is causing high network traffic and possibly delays - especially if on a slow network. .

To address this, the ScanMaster APL processor SM2WICIN.EXE will always delete any gr2aplxx.crc for any state APL that is processed.

WD 265224

Cashier Messaging won't acknowledge keys but delivers them to the background form. If there is an error during the Cashier Messaging routine (for example, trying to beep a Datalogic scanner that doesn't exist on the system) the routine simply exits but does not log the error or remove the message form from the screen. The end result is that the message states, "Touch here to continue" (if touch enabled) but touching that location will deliver the key strokes to the main form producing errors such as "Key Sequence Invalid" - though these errors may not be entirely legible since the message form may be partially covering them.
Cashier Messaging should log errors and remove the message form on exit.

Scenario:
1.Setup POS to have a Datalogic Hand scanner (do not attach hardware)
2.Create an operator display message to display
3. Ring item that creates message

Expected Results: Error will exit message routine with logging

Actual Results: Message will stay on screen and can not be acknowledged.

WD 227858

Michigan eWIC - CVB Aggressive Redemption.  When checking the customer's ability to purchase CVB (fruits and vegetables) the POS is not adding the customer's Rx for the specific subcategory of the item to the broadband (subcategory 0) of the customer's Rx. For example, if the customer was buying $5.00 of Bananas Category 19 : Subcategory 1, the POS was denying if the customer only had $4.00 in 19:1 even if they had $1 in 19:0. The POS needs to add these two together to pay for the bananas.

NOTE: Michigan sends most of their CVB with non-zero subcategories. Kentucky does not.

Michigan eWIC - End Date needs to accept 00/00/0000. Michigan eWIC - The APL delivers, for each item, a beginning and ending date. Michigan is delivering this date as 00 / 00 / 0000. This is failing the check since the POS is looking for this date to be greater than the current date. The code needs to be modified so that the date of all zeros passes as meaning infinite.

WD 229692

Display and receipt message needed when Online WIC EBT Transaction has no Benefits applied.  Currently, whenever an Online WIC EBT transaction has no benefits applied the message "NO ELIGIBLE ITEMS FOUND!" displays.  There are many reasons why benefits may not have been applied. This current message only fits one reason and that is when there are no eligible WIC items in the transaction. All other reasons such as Card has future benefits, expired, disabled, or no matching cat & Sub cat benefits should generate a new display message; "NO WIC BENEFITS AVAILABLE".  It has been requested that the same pre-auth receipt is generated for both messages above which include this message in lieu of the prescription and benefits to apply text.  Must work with both Balance Inquiries and Pre-auths.
