I have a gift card question

One possibility would be to setup a new item "Gift Card Discount" and set the price to -$10. You would ring up both items to get a $100 Gift Card for $90.

If you want to take it one step further you could record a macro key to ring both up together. I tried to put them together as a kit, but RMS will not allow a voucher in a kit.

Try something similar to what Marc suggested with a slight change.

2- Edit the Gift Card Item and in the Special tab attach this non inventory item as a tag along

This way when you post the GV item the system will automatically post the tag along of -10. I have tested this on 1.3 and it works.

I think before you get some help and answers, we should understand how/what you are using for a gift card. Are you using this stratight through RMS, where you have created an item = Gift Card, set up as a voucher. Do you have some printed paper gift card the customer will present to the recipient? Doesn't that read the value amount?

If so, then you are selling this to a customer for a discounted value. They walk away with two things: 1. A receipt for their trx ($90.00) and 2. Your personal gift card reading $100.00.

These gift card buying customers are physically giving someone a gift card, right? I mean they are not handing this person their sales receipt, are they?

But - If you are using an external gift card such as Valutec, etc, then I would consult with your partner(s) that established this relationship for you. You will need an off set to your trigger line that is a non-inventoried item.

Afshin,

Great idea! I tried kit, which does not work - but never thought of a tag-along.

I did this for a donation Gift Card that we did. The customer used the gift card, but it is still showing up in the summary list of "open" vouchers. (Voucher-Detailed) where balance 0

it shows value load +$25.00. -25.00 use, and $25.00 balance.

The way I rang it up was:

The next transaction says: Gift Card tendered $25.00 New balance $0

Then, On the same date as the Gift Card Tendered transaction, there is a $25 credit for the gift card...no transaction number.

Can I go into the database table and just clear out that value to zero?
