The system can be used in two ways to fit the customer business need.
1. When the Credit Transaction is made the POS terminal will be held in use until the
transaction is complete from the Commidea application.
2. When the transaction is lodged and accepted by Commidea the POS Terminal allows
other servers or tables to use the system. If the lodged transaction is a Bar transaction
then other servers can continue to use the machine. If the transaction is a table
transaction then all servers and all tables with the exception of the lodged one can be
used.
If the lodged transaction is accessed the POS will alert the operator that a transaction is
pending but will allow access in case of Commidea failure
pending but will allow access in case of Commidea failure
The default usage is option 2. To change to option 1 add the following line at the end of the
S2001.INI file corresponding to the terminal required :-
EFTOCIUSWAIT=1
