Discount Limit per Check

The default value is set to zero (0 = no limit) per check. If you set a value per check at 50, the maximum discount is limited to $50 per check. When the total discount value for a check exceeds the predefined limit, the full value applies.

For example, One-Star POS Discount Level has a discount rate of 10 percent and a discount limit up to $100 per Guest check. A check posting at an outlet has a total of $1200, the Guest is only entitled to a maximum of a $100 POS Discount instead of $120.
