Updating and Booking Extras
Extras are items that are not booked in the financial
nor in the merchandise control, e.g. cigarettes in the hospitality business
that are taken from a cigarette machine. Extras have to be configured as a
finance type.
Notes
- Extras can be booked at a waiter terminal only
(window: Terminal Type). Attempts to book an
extra at an itemizing terminal will be rejected by the application (error
message: "GC missing").
- Every extra is created with a fixed price, i.e.
for every different value of an extra, a new finance type must be created.
Creating an Extra
- Open the window Finance
type (via: Parameters
-> Misc. Params).
- If there is already a data record displayed in
the window, empty the input mask.
- Enter a free number for the new finance type in
the field Financeno..
- Enter a name for the finance type in the field Descriptor, e.g. Extra 5,00.
- Select the finance type Extra.
- Enter the value of the item in the field Value, e.g. 5.00. This entry is mandatory,
without a value entry the system would generate an error message during a
booking transaction.
- Open the sub-window Finance
parameter.
- Assign a terminal type to the new finance type
by entering the number and confirming with the Return key. You can also
search the terminal type via the search function and select it with a
mouse click.

- Save the new configuration of the extra in the
window Finance Type, then
close the window.

System -> Configuration).

the field Event Data.
