Re: Buggy Gift Cards

No, when you select payment by gift card, it just asks 'for the amount paid by check'. If you then put in the amount of the sale it goes through and concludes the sale. And as I said before, if the value on the card is less than the amount of the sale and you put in the sale value as the 'amount pai...

Re: Buggy Gift Cards

Sorry, you're misunderstanding me. I've stayed with 6.39k because 6.40k for me anyway does not work. Obviously 6.39k doesn't include gift cards so what I'm talking about doesn't refer to 6.39k in any way shape or form. I've taken 6.40k as it came straight from the download and set it up to accept ca...

Buggy Gift Cards

I keep coming back to this just in case I'm the problem - but I don't think so. I sell a Gift Card for £20 I use the Gift Card to buy goods for £8.70 leaving a balance of £11.30 Q1 - why does the system treat this as a check transaction? It's nothing of the sort. No matter how hard I look I won't fi...

Re: 6.40k and Gift Cards

Bobby, we're all part of a big family here - we're not fighting or anything. The reason we talk about these things is because we're all after the same thing - to make the system better. You're right - it isn't an accounting system and ultimately everything is having to be taken from the closing repo...

Re: 6.40k and Gift Cards

Bobby, you're quite right of course. You can work out everything manually with a calculator if you want to. But surely that's the whole point of having a dang system in the first place. Come on now - benefits of a system... saves time and effort.. faster than manual methods.. able to handle large vo...

Re: 6.40k and Gift Cards

Look, let's cut to the chase on this one. When you 'sell' a gift card you are not actually selling anything. You are taking money from someone and holding it in trust for them. It is not your money. It is still theirs. Therefore you have a legal obligation to account for it. It's as simple as that. ...

6.40k and Gift Cards

Hi Dale, all I've hung off experimenting with this because although this is a feature I dearly want to see, there seemed to be a few bugs still to be ironed out. Anyway, I've just been running a few transactions and this is what I've found. 1 Debit Cards - Cash Back I've just got cash back allowed o...

Re: Resetting Sale Counter

What I advise people to do is take a backup of their pos, tbl and idx files when they've got the system all set up right BEFORE they start ringing up ANY transactions. Then they can start playing and testing things out to their heart's content to learn about how the system works. Then when they're r...

Re: 6.40 Test and Conclusions (Problems)

Any feedback on this one Dale? I think what's needed is as follows. 1. As on current screen, gift card payment option. 2. If selected, value on card comes up. Then you are asked how much of the total you want to pay from the card with a 'press Fxx' for whole card value if the card value is <= bill t...

Could easily have been something as simple as that Andrew. When you get to a certain age you even amaze yourself with some of the daft things you do sometimes.

Don't laugh ..... it'll happen to you one day :D

6.40 Test and Conclusions (Problems)

Dale, I've stayed with 6.39 up to now because it's pretty stable but now that 6.40 is beginning to settle down I decided to give it a try. This is what I've found so far. 1. I've been using serial printers (CBM, Epson, Star) without problems save for one minor printing glitch that I can live with (C...
