5 Processing Tenders
Tendering is the last step that occurs just before completing a sale. You must select a form of payment or refund, and it may involve check or credit card authorizations, if any of these tender types are selected.
For all tender types, you must select or enter two basic items of information:
-
Form of payment or tender type (for example, cash, check, or credit card)
-
Amount paid for each selected tender type
Depending upon the form of payment and your system's requirements, you may have to enter or select additional information. For example:
-
Additional tender types if the first tender type did not pay the total due
-
Additional forms of customer ID (driver's license number, birth date, credit card number, hotel guest's room number, or other ID)
-
Customer name
-
Customer address
-
Security approval for large sales or refunds
