•

 

Subtotal must display dual currencies

New panel to right of current amntdue panel

•

 

Receipt after?

after “Total Due”

 and for Slip

•

 

Bill

•

 

Rounding:

Calculate to 6 significant figures and round (5 up)

e.g.

1.235…   => 1.24

123.494   => 123.49

1239.499.. => 1239.50

This phase allows dual currency trading. The base currency – the currency in which all values are

stored internally -  will be Euros. payment in Punt is permitted.

Internal monetary values are stored in cents (whole numbers).

Payment in Punt may result in rounding errors in the cash taken, for example:

€ = £0.787564

Item A costs €10 = £7.87564 => £7.88

After 10 single sales, actual cash taken = £78.80

Reconverted => €100.06

Internal product sales = €100

Discrepancy = 6¢

It is not proposed to track and store this discrepancy internally in the POS.

Similar small discrepancies can also occur because change and gratuities from Punt tender must be

calculated in a way that ensures that the Punt values add up exactly (for the customer).

Before commencing Dual Currency operation, an End of Day must have been performed. EUROCNV

will check this before commencing.

It will perform the following operations on the Master:

•

 

clear down all Product, Group, Department and Till daily and period sales totals Note that

current sales data values are cleared at start of day or, on a slave, open session after Start

of Day.

•

 

Convert all prices in the product file to Euros

The following values will not automatically be converted:

•

 

Limit values in payment methods

•

 

Trip and markdown values in the promotions file

•

 

Mix and Match values

•

 

Exchange rates

These values should be adapted manually.

In Rincs:

EURO=2

EUROX=.787564

The exchange rate is € per £

The standard cash payment method 1 is for payment in the base currency (€).

Payment method 13 will be reserved for payment in the alternate currency (£).

It is also possible to define other £ payment methods in RINCS, e.g.

PMALT=12
The bill and receipts will show the total amounts in both currencies.

The exchange rate will not be printed.

Note that internally in the POS Punt payments are stored as Euros, rounded and truncated to a

whole number of cents.

Where calculated values (change, gratuity) are used (payment screen, receipt) care must be

taken that the values are recalculated using the Punt total and payment values, rather than

converting the calculated Euro value. This is necessary to ensure that the Punt calculated values

tally exactly (e.g. Change = Payment – Total).

Float entry will be disabled with dual currency.

Cash declaration will be disabled with dual currency.

If two drawers are available, it will be assumed that drawer 1 is for pounds only and drawer 2

for  Euros.

Euros only

99

Since all values are stored in the POS as €, the consolidation process itself is unaffected.

Where payments are included in reports, the Punt payments will be printed separately from the

Euro payments. Their value will be printed in Euros and (re-converted) Punt. This is the case

for house and till cash reports, and for the server report. Note again that the payment totals for

Punt will in general show a small discrepancy to the re-converted actual Punt payments.

VAT calculations and values will be based on the Euro.

No changes are foreseen in this area.

The existing currency character mechanism can be used to set the Euro symbol for printing.

The £ symbol (156) will be hard-coded for Punt values.

A new Rincs variable CURRDSP will define the value of the Euro symbol to be used on the

screen. Note that when reports are previewed on screen a currency symbol conversion will be

necessary.

Currency-dependent texts are also used for printing cheques (pounds=>euros) and item price
entry “(p) => (c)”. These changes will be implemented by defining the relevant texts and

values in the file S98.TXT (user-defined texts)

100

This is the Euro only phase.

It will be the same as the standard pound-based operation, with the exceptions detailed below.

These changes will be implemented by defining the relevant texts and values in the file

S98.TXT (user-defined texts)

The RINCS variables CURCHAR and CURDSP (from Phase 2) will define the displayed and

printed symbols. Cheque text and price entry units will need modification (as in Phase 2)

Cash declaration entry and the CCD report must be adapted for Euro notes and coinage.
