Everyone,
I work for a company that caters to independent pharmacies and a number of our stores use RMS for the POS system. We learned for sure last week that Microsoft isn't doing anything to help these stores with IIAS compliance for flex card use. So, I have got to find a way to write an add-in that will handle this. Here is a basic overview of the problem: There are certain items that are flex card covered. Flex cards are debit type cards that can be used for buying health care related items. They can't be used to buy items like paper towel, candy bars, etc. So, what this means is if someone comes up to the register to buy a prescription, a candy bar and some tissues, the prescription is the only thing that is covered by the flex card. So, the system needs to realize this and only allow the price of the prescription to be tendered as flex, the rest of the items tendered as another tender. With that in mind, this is how the food stamp tender works, it recognizes items flagged as food stampable, and will place that money amount if the food stamp tender if you "+" for exact change on the food stamp tender. Now, as I see it, I could used this flag to designate the flex items "ignoring the food stampable label" and use that functionality to seperate the money amounts. HOWEVER, I need to make the foodstamp tender act like a debit tender. If I can do that, I believe the problem is handled. It isn't really the "best" way to do it, but I think it could be done quickly. I need help in making the foodstamp tender act like a debit tender. None of the pharmacies we deal with accept foodstamps, so I won't be taking away a feature by re-tasking the foodstamp tender to debit. Any thoughts? I appreciate all the help. Gregg
