On Version 3 if a Sub-Total Discount was made the Terminal would automatically carry out
a Sub-Total and take the user into the Payment Screen if clear was pressed the ST Discount
would be reversed. The New Version 4 now allows Multiple Discounts. When a ST Discount
is made the Terminal does not automatically carry out a Sub-Total, it stays in the trading
screen displaying the discount amount. N.B If two or more different Levels of VAT are being
used, the discount for each VAT rate will be displayed. If it is a requirement to enter the
subtotal screen after the discount operation  add ,F5 to the end of the Discount Macro. As the
items appear on the Operator screen they can be voided if an error is made.

1.

No changes have been made to the existing Discount Programming. However a
setting has been put into RINCS.CFG that limits the Number of Sub-Total discounts
in any one transaction, the default is 2. This is set in Miscellaneous settings as  follows
:-

REM ====MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PROMOTIONS=====

REM MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PROMOTIONS IN A TRANSACTION
PROMOMAX=2

10

This is a completely new feature for Version 4. It allows the use of different discounts to
different items in the same transaction.

In order to realise this function the following has been changed.

1.

Two New  Function (Function 73 - Diff ST and 74 Diff Disc) have been added. The
new functions can be used as any other Function. As with ST Discount the number
Diff Discounts can be regulated with a setting in RINCS.CFG the default is 2.

REM MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DIFFER % PROMOTIONS IN A TRANSACTION
DIFFDISCMAX=2

1.

The Diff ST allows the sub-totalling of all previous items in a transaction prior to
either the beginning of the transaction or the last Diff ST. The Diff Disc works in the
same way as ST Disc using one of the discounts in FM “Special Prices” if the
Discount Number then Diff Disc is pressed immediately after Diff ST the discount
will be applied. A simple Macro of nF74 where n is the Discount Number in Special
Prices will carry out the discount automatically, or F73,nF74 will carry out the Diff
ST and Diff Disc with one key depression. The Diff ST and Diff Disc are displayed
on the Operator Screen. If two or more levels of VAT are being used one line for each
VAT rate will be displayed for Diff ST and Diff Disc. The entries can be  Voided if an
error is made.

In order to detail the reasons for giving Refunds, Voids and VIP transactions, a new “Reason
Code” feature has been added. The feature forces the entry of a Reason Code when a Refund.
Void or VIP is made. The type of Reason can be selected and fixed or manual entry reason
code texts can be programmed. In order to realise this function the following has been
changed. It is possible to set a Maximum of 6 Reason Codes but one of these could be  Free
entry, allowing an infinite number to be entered.

1.

With this feature it is necessary to make two settings, one to determine which features
will have Reason Codes and the other to define whether the Reason Codes should be
fixed or Free Entry.

a.

Feature Selection - To set which features will have reason codes it is
necessary to EDIT the RINCS.CFG File to do this carry out from DOS
EDIT C:\RINCS.CFG on each POS Terminal. Under MISC
SETTINGS - REASON CODES it is necessary to determine the
setting for REASON=n, the setting should be as follows :-

REM ============REASON CODES=============

REM SETS WHAT FUNCTIONS WILL HAVE REASON CODE ACTIVATION 1=VOIDS 2=REFUNDS

REM 4=VIP SO 6 WOULD BE REFUNDS AND VIP 7 WOULD BE ALL THREE

REM REASON=7

b.

To set the Text for the Reason Codes a new file exists  S98.TXT this file carries all
user definable text related to Reason Codes a maximum of 6 per category are
allowed:-

<REASON_VOIDS>
1,Mis-Keyed
2,$FREE$

<REASON_VIPS>
1,VIP Customer
2,$FREE$

<REASON_REFUNDS>
1,Faulty Goods
2,$FREE$

If $FREE$ is set this will mean if the selection is made on the POS the QWERTY
keyboard will display.

If the settings above are made if a Refund Void or VIP sale made a new panel will appear on
the screen, one reason must be selected, if $FREE$ is set above, Manual Entry will be an
Option. If this is selected the QWERTY keyboard will appear for entry. If a fixed reason is
selected the terminal will accept the transaction.

A new report is available in the Report Screen called “Reasons Report” this will show all
transactions under Refund VIP or Void with the relevant Reason Codes. The report can be
taken for each Individual POS or Consolidated after “End of Day” has been taken. The
Consolidation file is reset at “Start of Day” by default. The file can also be exported at “End
of Day” by setting the Department System Flag to “Y” this means that both the Department
& Reason Files are exported.
