Item Entry in WIC mode (WIC - Women, infants and children)

WIC vouchers can only be used for payment of WIC items. After the function call, the POS Client switches to WIC mode which appears in a different color. In this mode, the user is able to enter WIC items but it is not possible to enter any other items. If the user attempts to enter items other than WIC items, a warning message will be displayed.
