Cash Register (hot list) Improvements

The cash register has been updated to include multiple performance updates when adding products to the shopping cart.  During testing we measured speed increases of up to a factor of 8.

Release Notes

Automatic Class Prorating
MySAM and SAM now support prorating of classes (camps and house teams not supported).

• Automatic prorating of classes when turned on at the league level.
• Proration is calculated from the number of sessions left scheduled on the calendar.
• Proration is not calculated if the total number of sessions scheduled on the calendar is less than the number of sessions defined at the class level.  This prevents the proration of classes before the entire schedule has been completed.
• Prorating for a particular class will go 10 minutes into the start time of the class. If users take the class and pay afterwards you’ll want to make sure to adjust the proration in the cart.

Financial Report Update Bonanza!
All the financial reports have been given a face-lift for consistency and added functionality. Financial reports are now located under the Reports->Financial menu. The following is a list of report updates:
