Credit Card Types

Is there a way to get subtotals for the different Credit Card types in the EDC batch reports, without haveing to create separate tenders for each credit card type (Visa/Master/Amex etc)?

In other words I would like to just have ONE Credit Card tender at the POS (less confusing and time consuming for the cashiers) but have my CC reporting broken down in the different CC types.

Most "other" POS systems will automatically do this, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get this working in RMS without having to create multiple CC tender types.

If RMS is not capable of doing this, does anybody have a work around? (like a report grouped by the first 4 digits on each credti card perhaps).

At this point, no, there is no way to do this. In order to separate different credit cards on reporting, you have to have different tender types (ie. Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Discover, etc.) instead of just 'Credit Card'.

This is very inconvenient, because instead of just swiping a card they have to look at the card first to determine the card type, and then they have to click or cursor to the "right" credit card type. This also clutters up the Tender screen.

MS had mentioned (during a Q&A webinar about 7 months ago) that separating CC types was something really easy to implement into RMS for them, but I'm not sure what ever happened to actually incorporating this into RMS.

MS (Todd Berger) any comment on this?

P.S. Am I the only that things this is strange and inconvenient

Thank you

I've had several clients that have chosen to separate the different credit card types within tender types; you'd be surprised how easy it is once the cashiers get used to it. And, with my own experience, it certainly helps with reporting.

Wish I could be more helpful.

We seperate by mastercard/visa | debit | discover | Amex and it has worked well for us for years. Also, it matches my bank statement this way. If I were to have all CC's under one tender type, reconciling would be pure hell. Craig

Thanks for your reply, but the whole point was that RMS could and should be able to just have one CC tender option and still subtotal it by CC type by using the first 2 or 4 digits on the CC. No human involvement should be necessary at all (by looking at the first couple of CC numbers RMS has all the information it needs to determine the CC type).
