    • Point of sale: never allow supplied quantity to be > required quantity. this can happen if use mouses around in POS
  • More supercession bugs. Delete supercession sometimes does not show supercessions. Problem is traced back to the move function : move function put database in a state where delete supercession could not work. Modified move so it behaves correctly. Modified unsupercede so it can cope with move errors created prior to this version. Added a db maintainence tool to further correct for such problems
