Payment method query and multi-payment
The cash register function payment method query offers a variety of solutions for different requirements when paying transactions. Ad hoc specific forms can be selected, different currencies can be accepted, vouchers can be included and much more:
- Partial payments for different currencies
- Partial payments with different payment types (only the remaining amount can be settled with the internal cashless functions)
- Payments for the hotel interface to room for the total amount. If you want to subsequently post a partial amount to a room, you must first split the transaction.
- The subsequent splitting of invoices
- Choose another payment type
A dialog is displayed that enables you to settle the currently opened transaction using different payment methods. This dialog is automatically created based on the payment types and currencies available on your keyboard layout. The keys for the payment methods are built dynamically. 6 to 9 rows and 1 or 2 columns depending on the number (managed in the currency table).
When working with several currencies, you also have the option of displaying the payment amount and the remaining amount in the required currency.
If the total amount due has been reached through instalment payment, the process can be completed automatically.
If it is not a payment from the Quick Service that is executed in the foreground, because for payments that are executed in the background, it is possible to e.g. enter the non-cash portion first and the cash portion at the end. Otherwise, the following applies: Partial amounts that are to be paid by card payment must be made last, as it is not possible to return from the card payment dialogue to the payment type query. See Settings Quick-Service payment in the background and Full-service payment in the background.
If you change the payment type for transactions posted to a credit card or EC card, you can no longer cancel the entry because the payment transaction reversal was carried out when you confirmed it. You must enter the payment type when you initiate the change.
Multi-payment cannot be used in conjunction with Hotel PMS Integrations.
Transactions that are concluded with different payment types are posted by the POS system under the term multi-payment.
Further documentation:
Forms can be selected from a list via the form selection and individual forms can beexcluded from the selection. However, payment methods can also be assigned to fixed forms.
There are therefore several possibilities in multi-payment:
- Use the Form Selection function (optionally restricted).
- Use a single payment method so that an assigned form is automatically used.
- The function Form selection and Assign fixed forms is not used, so that a selection from several payment methods is displayed dynamically for each form addressed (in the case of one payment method, the "Selection" takes place automatically).
With multi-payment, a form stored in the currency table is only used automatically if the transaction was completed with only one such payment type. In order to obtain a selection, the multi-payment can often be combined with a form query (which then offers all permitted forms). Without form selection and with forms assigned to the payment methods, you will then receive a dynamic selection. For each payment type involved with a fixed form, a selection of exactly these forms appears. To change the payment methods easily, use the EditTransactions function.
Use interim payment
The interim payment enables special payment options.
