Credit Card Processing

Depending on the system configuration, there are two possible ways of processing the data read in from credit cards.

• If the credit card is to be processed externally it will be created as an EFT Payment Type. Further entries in other windows will then be unnecessary.
• If the credit card is processed by the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application it will be created as a payment type of the category Credit. This chapter will provide you with information about if and which entries are to be made in which windows. The procedure will only be outlined. The exact field descriptions can be found in the individual program descriptions.
• Note:
  You can also create credit cards as a "Cash” payment type if the data is not to be read in but entered via the keyboard and if an online check will not take place.
