We're not consistently recording cash registers for refund actions.. cash refunds in particular should require a cash register.
I was wrong.. we have been generally handling this correctly.. what we weren't doing properly was the redirect flow to reload the page and display the results of the refund action.
Created attachment 191238 [details] [review] Bug 41585: Fix cash refund payouts not appearing in register transactions This patch fixes two issues with cash refunds on the register page: 1. Payouts were not appearing in the transactions table after being created because accountlines were fetched before the refund operation completed. 2. Account credit (AC) refunds were incorrectly creating payout transactions when no cash should leave the register. Changes: - Only create payout for non-AC refund types - Use explicit registerid from page context for payout - Add POST/REDIRECT/GET pattern after refund to refresh page data - Add client-side validation for cash register requirement on patron account page Test plan: 1. Navigate to POS register page with transactions 2. Issue a cash refund on a transaction 3. Verify the payout appears in the transactions table 4. Issue an account credit (AC) refund 5. Verify no payout is created (only the refund credit) 6. On patron account page, attempt cash refund without register 7. Verify validation message appears
