Print Template missing tags

<< < (4/8) > >>

JohnS:
You got me interested in solving this one, as I too should have tendered and change due on receipts as that's what a customer expects to see.
So I set it up earlier to test it, and we were on the money.

Reset TENDERED & CHANGE DUE on CREATE TICKET .
On CHANGE AMOUNT UPDATED Rule set TENDERED and CHANGE DUE to TenderedAmount & ChangeAmount
Then check TENDERED on PAYMENT RECEIVED and if 0, set TENDERED to AMOUNT
Plus the 2 Actions for updating Tendered & ChangeDue

With the Pole Display I didn't need the first or third settings.

Simple now  ::)


Splitting checks is not popular in Oz (in fact its discouraged), this feature just helps the operator think quicker. The receipts print the same after the first amount is paid, no matter what else gets tendered. My solution would be if the bill is split evenly, then take the first amount, hit Print Receipt x3 and take the remaining money.

I tried some Rules to update Tendered, but wasn't successful.

Maybe Emre can clarify this, as I am sure it will come up elsewhere.

JohnS:
Emre,

Now that we are so cool having Tendered and Change on the printed receipts :)

I have come across an issue. If you reprint a receipt, the Tendered & Change amounts are from the last sale - not the actual sale for the receipt you are printing.

emre:
I think we (including me) shouldn't forget this nice SambaPOS rule.
"If we need to track additional info about tickets we should use Ticket Tags"

We can pretty use "Update Ticket Tag" action for storing tendered and change due amounts on individual tickets and use {TICKET TAG:Tendered Amount, Change Due} tag for printing them on the bill. So we can see these amounts on tickets too. Like The example we can print multiple tags at once by merging them with comma.

The only issue with Ticket Tag printing is we can use {TICKET TAG:x,y,z} tag only once so if you'll need to print additional tags you need to include them in a singe tag by separating them with comma. I changed it like we did for {SETTING:xxx} tag. You'll receive it on next update...

JohnS:
I think we (ME!) need to get more creative with the solutions :)

You don't think of using the unique feature of Ticket Tags for things like change due amounts.
What drew me to SambaPOS was the fresh approach to a POS solution and the unique features it offers, and I know I need to exploit these features more.

Ok, so I have given it a go, and got it to work.

Emre, will the formatting be available to Ticket Tags just like {SETTING:xxx} Tag? During my tests I get this result

Tendered: 5.00
Change Due: 1.80

If I use <J>, <R> or <C>, first line does what its told, second line is left justified.

Hi John,

(or Good morning from Wales)

I dont quite understand what you mean.

 When you reprint a old receipt. If I select a old ticket and select release lock and select print ticket the receipt prints ok.

The receipt shows the amount tendered, change given etc.

If I generate a new sale the receipt shows the correct value ie tendered value, change etc for the new sale.
