    Option Description

    2 - Amount Required

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

    4 - Use with Currency Conversion

    Select this option to post payment amounts entered through a currency key to the cash payment key.

    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 Dollar

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

    Options 53, 3, and 56 work together; to enable option 53, you must also select options 3 and 56. In addition, option 2 must be deselected. In this scenario, the Change Due will always be 0.00 and the rounding value will show the difference.

    In Page Design, you must configure the Payment Type as Cash:Cash and the Function as Default in the Payment Configuration dialog when configuring the Cash payment tender button.

    Partial tenders are allowed when Amount Options 3, 53, and 56 are enabled, when the Payment Type is Cash:Cash and the Function is # (DollarUp) in the Payment Configuration dialog when configuring the payment tender button in Page Design. Partial Tenders are not allowed when option 37 is enabled. (The message “Tender must be made in full” will appear when option 37 is enabled).

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

    96 - Round To Second Least Significant Digit

    Select this option to round the payment total or change due to the nearest .50 or 1.00.

    You must also select one of the following options:

    97 - Round Change Due Down

    Select this option to round change due down when the unrounded change is exactly half of the rounding number. For example if the payment given is .25 greater than the amount due, and rounding is to the nearest .50, the change due will be 0 instead of .50.
