Hi

I'm getting really far with setting up SambaPos, but one thing I can't seem to find the rule/trigger for.

I have only a LED8 display (Only one amount can be shown). What I would like to do is the following:
1- Customer orders 2 coffee's of $1 each: Display shows $2.00
2- Customer orders 1 Pie of 1.50: Display shows $1.50
3- Customer indicates that that completes their order, Cashier clicks 'Settle' and moves to payment screen: Display shows $3.50
4- Customer hands over $5, Cashier clicks '5' and 'Cash'; Display shows -1.50
5- Cashier stores the $5, hands back the $1.50 and clicks 'Close; Display blanks.

Ok, I got to work;
1 & 2- Display shows line total
5- Display blanks after closing the ticket.

What is not working as I would like, is that the total amount, that I would like to show in step 3, shows instead in step 4. I programmed this following the post http://forum2.sambapos.org/index.php/topic,218.msg1075.html#msg1075.
Mine is not working as well I cannot show more than one amount.

I think what I need is a trigger/rule that is fired when the cashier presses 'Settle' or when the screen goes from POS to Payment. Is there a solution for this?

Kind regards
Marco

So not possible?

I'm happy to insert some code and recompile, but don't know where to start.

Cheers
