BETA test version GIFT-E / 4-23-07
Moderators:daleadmin, Dale Harris, Alan, Andrew
Here is the latest. I fixed the "price change" bug and a lot of other clean up.
Look for the download link in a post at near the end of this thread.
You will have to go to the gift card setup and redo the receipt labels on the last page. I added a new one and they are in a different order.

Progress
More progress. In version GIFTC I have fixed the problem with the no-tax ID number being formatted as a phone number.
And amazingly I have also added the gift card reports which is accessed as Report Q from the "8. Reports" feature.

Gift Cards and Taxes
Dale,
When someone purchase a Gift Card, he/she does not pay the taxes. However, when the Gift Card is used as a method of payment, the value on the GC is applied towards the taxes.
Is this correct or am I misunderstanding how GC's are applied to the sales?

That is pretty much the deal. When you sell a gift card you are not actually selling anything. You are just trading one kind of money (cash) for another (gift card). Therefore there is no tax on the transaction.
However when you purchase something using the money in a gift card then like any other form of payment you have to pay the tax on the merchandise using the money in the gift card

error with no gift card number
Hello Dale,
When you access the gift card feature report and fail to put in a gift card number, you get a bad file name error that crashes the program. You should be getting an error like when you type in an incorrect number and get a card not found message.
Thank you for all of your hard work and I am looking forward to the legendary customer accounts feature!!!
Later,
Bobby

Bobby,
Well that was easy to fix.
I am afraid that the legendary customer accounts feature is going to have to remain legendary for quite a while longer. After using most of my spare time staring at code for the past 6 months, when gift cards is finally finished I will probably be taking a little vacation from doing this for quite a while.

Well yet another new test version. All the problems that have been mentioned since yesterday have been fixed, maybe. Give this a try and find out for sure.

Thank you!
Hello Dale,
Thanks for the quick fix, as always. I have tried a bunch of ways that cashiers seem to mess with transactions, and you seem to have everything covered; using giftcards in a transaction and voiding the transaction, post voiding a giftcard transaction. The reports feature is perfect.
Thanks again,
Bobby

Final version?
Well I may just be fooling myself but as far as I can tell this will be the actual release version of the "Gift cards" feature. Give it it a try and prove me wrong.
If no one can find any problems with it for the next 48 hours I will renumber it as version 6.40 an release it.
Here is the download link...

Gift Release
Hi Dale,
Congrats on the new version that you are about to release. Would this qualify as being DHPOS 7.0 since it's a major feature upgrade?
I tried my best to break this but I can't. There was only one issue that I was concerned about, but I found a Work-Around for it.
Here goes:
Lucy gets a $50.00 GiftCard as a gift! She's very, very excited & runs down to the local shop with her mom so she can spend it. She gets to the store & selects a few things. Her things get mixed up with her mom's items and suddenly the cashier has rung the whole order up. Not the cashier's fault! Lucy only had about $10.00 worth of merchandise, but her mom is a big spender and spent over $200.00 in the store. Lucy pulls out her Giftcard and hands it to the cashier. Card is swiped and oops poor Lucy just lost out on $40bucks because the register applied the whole amount to the order.
Work-Arounds:
Don't go shopping with your mother. (Just Kidding)
Purchase GiftCard items separately in their own transaction.
Apply all other payment methods to the transaction and Swipe the card last.

Next version
Tina,
This is a pretty major upgrade but I am saving version 7.0 for the version that will process credit cards through X-Charge.
The gift card version will be 6.40.
