    Table 6-1 Amount Options For Payment Tenders

    Option Description

    Select this option to require an amount when using the cash tender. If the workstation operator presses the cash tender button at the workstation without entering an amount, the workstation prompts to enter the tender amount.

    If you deselect option 2 and select option 3, the tender is used for 0.00, unless the workstation operator enters an amount before pressing the tender key.

    3 - Assume Paid in Full

    Select this option to record the exact amount due as the entry. You must also deselect option 2. If you deselect both options 2 and 3, the system records 0.00 as the entry.

    37 - Partial Tender Not Allowed

    Select this option to prevent the cash tender from being used to partially tender a transaction.

    53 - Round Tender to Next Highest Whole Number

    Select this option to round the cash tender up to the next highest whole number dollar amount.

    56 - Round Change Due

    Select this option to round change due resulting from an overtender.

    88 - Round Payments and Change To the Nearest 0

    Select this option to round the payment total or change due to the nearest 0 or 10.

    You must also select option 87.

    If you select option 88, the least significant decimal digit is rounded to 0 or 10. Deselect option 88 to round the least significant decimal digit to 0 or 5.

    Tender/Media Amount Options 53 and 88 are mutually exclusive; you cannot select both.
