Added a configurable SyncServiceEnabled flag in app config and wired startup to run the background sync timer only when enabled. Updated scan processing to enforce production duplicate checks by employee_serial_number + order_date + meal_name + location_site_id, blocking same-session repeat scans with “Meal already taken” while still allowing different meals on the same day. Improved offline/online behavior by saving locally first and attempting immediate sync when production is reachable, and enhanced manual sync to treat production duplicates as success by marking local IsSynced=1 instead of retrying forever.
Add IsMenuItemAuthorizedForRfidAsync to IEmployeeLookupService / EmployeeLookupService to validate menu access by joining employee_rfid_tag and employee_menu_item_tag. Update RfidService.ProcessScanDetailed to filter HRMS menu items against this authorization, block scans when no authorized item remains, and return a clear "No menu item selected." message while logging failures. This ensures only menu items explicitly tagged for a given RFID can be ordered, and prevents unauthorized or unmapped items from creating transactions.
The FromGradeType method in HrmsMenuItemForMapping was modified to handle the new mapping rules, ensuring that menu items and lunch order items align with the updated grade-to-menu mapping:
Contractual and MTO/TE/Intern are now mapped to MANAGEMENT menu.
Unassigned and empty values are mapped to NON_MANAGEMENT.
Extend SyncService so each unsynced SQLite scan still posts to production lunch_order_transactions and upserts HRMS lunch_order, then creates matching lunch_order_item rows. Item lines are derived from SQLite MealItems (split on +); each name is resolved via lunch_menu_week → lunch_menu_item → menu_item using site, menu date, meal name, and optional item_for from grade_type, with a fallback lookup if the meal filter misses. Inserts use lunch_order_id, lunch_menu_item_id, quantity (1), price_at_order_time, item_name, and item_type from HRMS, and skips duplicates for the same order and menu item.
- Added mealName parameter to IMenuLookupService.GetMenuItemsForSiteAndDateAsync
- Updated SQL query to filter by li.meal_name in MenuLookupService
- Added meal_name to SELECT and result mapping
- Updated RfidService to pass mealLabel from resolved session
- Maintained backward compatibility with existing method
- Updated `item_for` column in `menu_item` table to reflect correct values based on employee grade type (Management/NonManagement).
- Added 'MANAGEMENT' to items with id 51 and 53.
- Added 'NON_MANAGEMENT' to item with id 54.
- Modified the employee photo fetching logic to use the external link instead of the database for fetching employee photos.
- Added missing fields in the `lunch_order_transactions` table to ensure no fields are left blank or null during the scan process.
- Implemented a check to validate the employee's LocationSiteId against the current site.
- If the employee is from a different site, the scan is blocked and an error message is shown.
- Site mismatch message displays the correct site IDs and prevents scanning for employees registered on a different site.
- Ensured the scan only proceeds for employees registered on the current site.
Seed per-user config from deployed appsettings.json when missing, so production SiteId and connection strings are preserved
Add centralized Logger writing to %LocalAppData%\UtopiaCanteenSystem\Logs\error.log with global unhandled exception handling
Extend scan flow to resolve HRMS menu (lunch_menu_week → lunch_menu_item → menu_item) per site/date and persist MealLabel, MealItems, and TotalPrice in SQLite
Fix menu lookups to use scanner local date instead of MySQL CURDATE(), avoiding time-zone mismatches
Restrict Meal Schedules view to only show schedules for the current configured site and remove multi-site filter options
Extend HRMS RFID lookup to include uind_serial, function_id, department_id, created_by, and tag created timestamp
Persist new tag fields + meal session code in SQLite scan records; auto-migrate schema and drop deprecated EmployeeDbId column
Enforce “once per meal session per local day” scan rule (keep short per-card debounce; remove global cooldown)
Enhance sync: insert scans into production lunch_order_transactions (MySqlConnectionString) and into HRMS/local lunch_order (HrmsLookupConnectionString) with duplicate guard; include location_site_id from SQLite SiteId
Add EmployeePhotoService to load and decode hrms.employee_photo blobs (data URI or raw bytes) using parent_document_id
Wire ScannerDashboardViewModel to load photos after RFID scan and on app restart, binding to EmployeeProfileImage
Display employee photos in left panel and order-history rows with graceful placeholder fallback
Store ParentDocumentId in scan records and expose it through HrmsEmployeeInfo / ScanRecord / OrderHistoryItem for photo lookups
Use employee.concatenated_name from HRMS for full employee name in lookups
Add CRUD support for meal schedules backed by hrms.meal_schedule (Add New + Save creates/updates schedules for a site and session)
Store meal/session label, menu items, total price, department, and department type on each ScanRecord in SQLite so every scan keeps its own metadata.
Add lightweight schema upgrades for lunch_order_transactions to include MealLabel, MealItems, TotalPrice, Department, and DepartmentType.
Update RfidService to populate these new fields and expose UpdateLastScanMealInfo for post-scan enrichment.
Fix dashboard startup logic to restore last scanned employee (ID, name, department, department type, meal) from the last ScanRecord.
Refactor order history and “View All” modal to read Meal/Items and Price from each row’s stored values instead of a global in-memory label.
Include Meal and Price columns in the CSV export, using per-record data.
Remove unused local MealSchedules/OrderItems SQLite tables and ensure they are dropped as legacy schema.
