Window Routing: Auto Transfer Generates with Main and Allow Routing of Transaction Codes

When Cashiering>Auto Transfer Generates with Main and Cashiering>Allow Routing of Tax Transactions application parameters are set to Y, for example if a charge is posted manually or via EOD on transaction code 1000 that has a generate on transaction code 8000, and if this reservation has a window routing only for transaction code 8000 to window 2, still the postings on 1000 and 8000 will remain together. The posting on transaction code 8000 will NOT be routed to window 2 at this time. The reason being the posting activity takes place on the main / parent transaction code 1000 and due to this the Cashiering>Auto Transfer Generates with Main parameter is applicable which keeps the main/ parent transactions and generates together.

If this window routing instruction is later modified and folios are refreshed, then the posting on transaction code 8000 will be routed to window 2 since now there is NO posting/ transfer/ routing activity taking place on the main / parent transaction code 1000 and due to this the Cashiering>Auto Transfer Generates with Main parameter is NOT applicable and only the Cashiering>Allow Routing of Tax Transactions is applicable.

If later on user selects either the main / parent posting or the generate posting and transfers / drags & drop etc to another window, then again the main / parent posting and the generate postings come together since Cashiering>Auto Transfer Generates with Main is set to Y.

This behavior is applicable irrespective of the TAX TYPE CALCULATION setting set to PROFILE or RESERVATION.
