About the Award Coupon List
The award coupon list may be configured two ways:
-
Partial awards allowed:
The system automatically reduces the value of the selected coupon by the amount applied to the current transaction, up to the total amount due. For example, if $14.98 is applied from a $50.00 coupon, the coupon's remaining value is reduced to $35.02, and it may be applied to a different transaction later.
-
Partial awards not allowed:
The system automatically applies the entire value of the coupon, regardless of the amount due on the transaction. The coupon is removed from the list after it is applied to a transaction and may not be used again. For example, if the amount due is $25.00 and a $30.00 coupon is selected, the $5.00 difference cannot be used in a future transaction.
If you select more than one coupon and the combined total exceeds the amount due on the sale, a message is displayed. Press Enter and the system returns to the list of coupons where you may select a different coupon.
