How to show balance on pole display

Oct 21, 2005 1 Replies

Dear buddies,



I am working on coupon solution to RMS. Suppose a shopper purchases items of $100.00 in tatal, and the cashier scans coupons of $5.00, when the tender form is displayed, the $5.00 coupon is already filled in the coupon tender field by my add-in, so the balance becomes $95.00 on the tender form. However, the pole display still shows the total amount of $100.00. This is embarassing for shopper. I noticed that Transaction.Total property is read-only. How can I change the total amount to the balance on the pole display? Or how to show the balance on the pole display?


Well, you could dig into the OPOS objects and update the Pole Display message directly (I believe the Pole Display is accessible through QSRules - dig aroung in the Object Browser)

-or-

You could enter the coupons as negative priced items rather than as payment tendered. That would adjust the transaction total and the display would take care of itself...
