The Tender Maintenance General Tab is used to maintain general attributes and amounts for the tender.

From the General tab you may add or edit the following fields:

    • Active: Flag to activate tender for Front End tendering. If this flag is not set, then the tender will not be accepted for transactions at the Front End.
    • Require Mgr Auth: Flag to indicate if manager authorization is required for the tender.
    • Depositable: Flag to indicate if the tender can be deposited. Only Depositable Tenders are displayed in the Safe Statistics and Make a Deposit screens.
    • Monitor: Flag to indicate if the tender can be monitored in the Monitor Tills function.
    • Accept for Change: Flag to indicate if the tender can be given out as change. Once flagged, Retail will then display the tender as an option in the change tender field for itself and other tenders.
    • Use MSR: Use the PIN pad to swipe or insert the card
    • Print Tender Count: Flag to print the total tender count on Till Statistics on the Front End.
    • Prepopulate Countdown: By default, electronic tenders are flagged. The amount processed on the checkstand is automatically counted in Till Statistics. Prepopulate countdown is also used in conjunction with Blind Tills in the Back End. Flag this field if you wish to prepopulate the countdown for the tender. If you are using Blind Tills in the Back End, you should flag this field for all electronic tenders, such as Credit Cards. By doing this, the person counting down the tills will not be required to enter the amounts for tenders that have been electronically processed. Other tenders, such as Cash and Checks, should still be counted.
    • Require ID: Flag to indicate if an ID is required to accept the tender, such as check or instore charge. The cashier will be prompted to enter a Customer ID on the order. NOTE: If using TeleCheck, this field must be flagged on the CE (Electronic Check) tender. The cashier will be prompted for ID when a check cannot be read by the MICR
    • Valid ID: Flag to indicate if a Valid Customer ID must be entered to accept the tender.  A valid customer must be entered in the Customer Maintenance form.
    • Secondary ID: Flag this field to require a Secondary ID number to be entered at the Front End.  This field is used in conjunction with Customer Maintenance, as a means to track bad check writing.  See Secondary ID in the Help Files for more information. To print the secondary ID on the back of the check, the entry PrintSecIDOnCheck=1 in the [MISC] section of the ros.ini file must exist.
    • Require Franking: Flag to indicate if franking is required for the tender.
    • Open Drawer: Flag to indicate if the cash drawer is to be opened when the tender is used.
    • Open Drawer Immediately: Flag to indicate if the cash drawer is to be opened before the receipt trailer is printed.
    • Allow Media Swaps: Flag to indicate if media swaps can be done for the tender at the Front End.  Selected tenders such as Credit Cards will not allow media swaps.
    • BT Variance: BT Variance is used for Blind Tills in the Back End. Enter the amount of the variance that will be accepted without warning when entering countdown amounts. When the user is entering countdown amounts, he will be warned if the variance is greater than the amount entered. This can help catch count or entry errors before the countdown is saved.

In the Tender Amount section enter the following:

    • Required: Flag to indicate if amount must be entered to use the tender. If this field is not flagged then the tender can be entered without an amount and the order will be tendered for the amount of sale.
    • Minimum: Displays the lowest value of tender that can be accepted.
    • Maximum: Enter the highest value of tender that should be accepted. A soft warning will be displayed on the Front End.
      • For the CE (Electronic Check) tender, used for processing checks through TeleCheck, the Maximum Amount is used for the Require ID amount. When a check is read by the MICR, the cashier will be prompted to enter the customer's driver's license if the check is over the Maximum Amount. For example, the Maximum Amount is $25, the cashier will not be prompted for ID for a check under $25.
      • NOTE: For Electronic Checks, the maximum amount will be ignored if the checking account information is entered manually by the cashier, that is, when the check cannot be read by the MICR. In those cases, the cashier will always be prompted to enter the customer's ID.
    • Overall Max: Enter the highest value of tender that can be accepted. A manager override will be required if this maximum is exceeded.
    • Negative Amount Required: Flag this field to require a tender amount of “0” to be entered at the Front End when the tender is in a negative state, as in a refund or payout.  Without the flag, the order doesn't require an amount before the tender key is pressed. When the Cash key is pressed, the refund will be given as change.  
      • To force a manager override to open the cash drawer with a 0CA sale, enter MGonZeroTender=1 in the MISC. section of the ros.ini file.
