Tender Control - Main

The Main page contains core tender control information. This page is used to balance the tender control.

Open this page using Main Menu > Payments > Tender Control .

Note:

Searching For Tender Controls. When you use the Creation Date to search for tender controls, the system returns tender controls that are created on or before the date you specify. If the number of records returned exceeds the search limit (i.e. 300 records), only the records that do not exceed search limit are displayed. Therefore, you may need to specify an earlier creation date to find the record you are looking for. If you do not specify a creation date and search based on other criteria, the system uses the most recent date.
