Users can open two POS applications on the same machine. If a Shift is closed in one POS Application, the system allows the second application to continue processing on this closed shift.

Users should not open TWO POS Applications on the same machine for POS processing, however, to prevent the issue we will introduce a check to prevent orders from being saved into a CLOSED shift.

1. The change will be available in version: 13.11

2. The following changes were made(Include Database object names, Program classes, and any other relevant information):

1. Added validation on ORDER SAVE to prevent creating orders when the shift is closed
   1. Message: 'This order cannot be saved as this shift ({0}) is no longer OPEN. Exit POS and log back in to get a new shift.'
       

3. Affected Areas:

1. POS Save Transaction

4. The issue was caused by:

1. The user instantiates two POS applications on the same machine, then closes the shift on one POS and continues processing on the second instance. 

5. Other Relevant Notes: 
6. Next Step (Review and System Test (Developer) -> UAT (Quality) -> Documentation): UAT
