SuitePOS Release 5.1
STOP. Please read this article carefully before performing any upgrade.
- Releases designated BETA must be tested in Sandbox Environments first. The customer bears all testing responsibility when migrating in Production.
- A NetSuite Bundle upgrade is REQUIRED.
- A Full Sync is REQUIRED. Ideally the App should be removed and the new version installed with full re-registration.
- All terminals MUST BE UPDATED to the same initial 5.1.x versions if the new "Exclude Items from Discount" feature is used.
Please be mindful of NetSuite Script Error: SSS_REQUEST_LIMIT_EXCEEDED when doing a re-install of the App and a full-sync. Roll out to terminals carefully.

Full SuiteTax Support
For a long while we have supported NetSuite SuiteTax engine. Currently we make a call to NetSuite for the tax and this, albeit a valid method, can have some latency. Since NetSuite plan to move all accounts to SuiteTax in the future, we now support SuiteTax Override; which essentially fixes the tax from the POS Settings record (similar to what is done now for legacy taxes) without the need to make a SuiteTax call from the POS.
