Transactions

After you click Begin Check or Begin Fast Transaction on the home page, the transaction page appears. After clicking Begin Check, you may be prompted to enter the check name (if pre-authorization credit card payment is not defined, or if the pre-authorization does not return a name), and then you can enter a pre-authorization amount before accessing the transaction page. If a check name is not entered, the check number appears in the check header.

The transaction page shows menu items, family groups, pre-authorization, and other check functions.
