• Bug Fixes

  • Rear Display/Split Seats with empty seat range check error. (QA01152021)

  • If there are no items on the first seat and a subsequent seat is tender evened and a rear display is configured. A range check will occur because it is trying to find the second seat on the rear display and there is only one since the first was removed when the check was saved. This was because the current seat on the rear display was not updated after the check was saved. We had fixed the problem on the on-screen check in 2016, but never did the rear display check.
