• New Letter Type: Customize a POS Receipt Letter specific to your POS printer! This new Letter Type, called “POS”, is used in conjunction with the Print/Email enhancement in the House Account.  The POS Receipt is a Letter and is viewed and edited in the Setup area.

 We are pleased to announce that the following software bugs were fixed in this release:

• Corrected an issue with new guests added without the “live” flag set.  Now, when a new Guest is added they will automatically be set live.
• Corrected an issue when adding a booking to a Group after being created outside of a Group. Not all of the guest information would be saved with the guest record.  All Guest information will now be automatically saved.
• Corrected an issue where a User’s account may have IP filtering enabled, without IP filtering being setup for the property level, preventing the user from logging in.
