Payment Parameter

The following program description deals with:

Remarks on the Program Function

By use of this program you can maintain the basic data of the payment parameters, i.e. insert new records, edit and delete the existing ones. You can also display the data on the screen for enquiry only.

It is also possible to define a payment parameter respectively for different terminal types.

In order to do this, the payment type as well as the terminal type has to be defined already in the system.

The programs for updating the payment parameters are called up in window Payment type which is shown via Parameter -> Payment.

Remarks on the Input Fields

This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating these Basic Data.

Just like in almost any other program:

Terminal Type

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 9999

Enter into this field the number of the terminal type, for which this payment parameter is valid. The input is not prompted when this program is called from another input screen where the number has already been entered.

If the number of the terminal type is not known, a selection window can be opened by clicking the arrow symbol next to the input field with the mouse. All the terminal type options set up in the system are available for selection.

Designation

The name of the payment type or the terminal type will be displayed accordingly after the respective number is entered.

Entry limit

Permitted input range: decimal, max. 10 digits with max. 2 decimal places

This is the limit for using this payment type for settling a payment. For example, the upper limit for the payment type "cheque" could be EUR 400.00 (see also Exceed limit spv.key). Please note that this value is always stated in the domestic currency. This also applies if a foreign currency is updated.

Lower limit

Entry range permitted: max. 10 digits incl. max. 2 decimal places

The lower limit which is permitted for receipt finalisation with this payment type is defined in this field. When this limit is reached or if this amount is not reached receipt finalisation will not be possible.

Please note that the setting for the lower limit in program Card usage is not affected by this setting.

Note:
The default "0.00" implies that no lower limit applies to this payment type.

Form No.

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 9

If a form is to be printed when using this payment type, the corresponding form number is to be entered here.

The following forms are standard features of the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application:

NOTE:
Forms with a number higher than 9 are overprinted in the front-feed device of the printer.

Entry Nos.

Entry range permitted: numeric 0 - 9

Enter the maximum count of numbers which is allowed for this payment type recording. For cheque payment it would be "4" for cheque, cheque card and account no. and bank ID.

The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application allows the user to define how many numbers are to be called up within a payment type recording and which texts are to be displayed. If no texts are entered, "XYXYXYXYXYX" will be displayed for this payment type after receipt finalisation. The texts to the numbers in the recording are updated via window "Form texts". A general description can be found under Update count of entry nos. and texts und Update card entry no. for cheque payment. This shows also how only the card no. entry is prompted for cheque payment.

Drawer No.

Permitted input range: numeric, 0 - 9

Enter into this field the number of drawers connected.

If the payment type is not confined to drawers, the default value of "0" should be entered.

Button activated: The Supervisor Key is necessary for using this payment type to settle the payment.

Overpayment means that change is due to the customer. For example, if the sales amount is EUR 300.00, a cheque of EUR 400.00 can be issued.

Even if an overpayment is allowed, it can still be restricted by requiring that the supervisor key is set on (s. Overpayment supervisor). In this case, the next parameter has to be activated.

Overpayment Supervisor

Button activated: Overpayment is only allowed if the supervisor key is on.
Button deactivated: The supervisor key does not play a role for overpayment.

If an overpayment is neither completely prohibited nor generally allowed, this button should be activated. This restricts overpayment to be accepted only when the supervisor key is switched on. This button is only effective if the previous parameter is also activated (see Overpayment). If not, this button is meaningless.

Exceed Limit Spv.Key

Button activated: For exceeding the limit, the supervisor key has to be on.
Button deactivated: The supervisor key does not play a role when the limit is exceeded.

Button deactivated: Negative amounts are prohibited on payment types that are printed on forms.

As a rule, payment types that are defined with a Form no., can contain positive payment amounts only (e.g. the amount on a cheque may not be negative).

Voucher Track

Button activated: For this payment type, a journal entry is made for each voucher.
Button deactivated: For this payment type, there is no journal entry.

When this button is activated, e.g. for cheque payments, an entry will be made into a list for each voucher which consists of the cashier number, payment type, terminal number, amount, etc. This parameter will have no effect on the receipt printing. A receipt will also be printed with all corresponding values when the voucher track button is not activated. When the button is deactivated, a journal is not kept.

Change is always paid out in the domestic currency. The change can also be paid out in the foreign currency after depression of the appropriate foreigne currency key. A recording example can be found under Booking of a foreign currency..
