Configuring Currency

You can configure the types of currencies in circulation for exchange at workstations.

Oracle Food and Beverage recommends to use Currency ISO standard 4217 in the Currency module’s Abbreviation field. For example:

• USD for the US Dollar

• CAD for the Canadian Dollar

• EUR for the Euro

• GBP for Pound Sterling

• MXN for the Mexican Peso

• JPY for the Japanese Yen

Note:

The currency Abbreviation field is where the currency type is pulled from by the Simphony Transaction Services (STS) Gen2 API.

1. Select the Enterprise, property, or zone, click Setup, and then click Currency.
2. Insert a record, enter the name (for example, US Dollars), and then click OK.
3. Double-click the record to open it.
4. Enter the Abbreviation for the currency (for example, USD).
5. Enter the Symbol for the currency record (for example, $).
6. Select the Number of Digits from the drop-down list.

   This is the number of digits after the decimal point that the currency allows.

7. Enter the Smallest Bill Amount for the currency (for example, 1).
8. Select 1 - On = Print Symbol After Total; Off = Print Symbol Before Total to print the currency’s symbol after the amount due on guest checks and customer receipts. Deselect this option to print the currency’s symbol before the amount due.
9. Select 5 - Use Thousands Separator Character to use the thousands separator (comma as in the example 1,000) when numbers are printed.
10. Click Save.
11. Repeat Steps 2 through 10 for each currency payment allowed.
