negative (credit) entries

Several possibilities spring to mind, but I don't have time to try any of them out right now. Try out the following and see if any of them work for you...

1) enter the price as a negative value 2) enter the price as zero and select the item option "Must set price at POS" - train cashier to enter a negative value in the pop up. 3) set up an item as in #2 above - call it "payout". Create a second item with zero price and on the Special tab, assign it a Tag Along of the "payout" item, with a tag along quantity of -1. Cashier now enters the payout as a positive value. 4) set up an item as in #2 above. Create a Custom POS Button to add the item to the transaction (See instructions in the Knowledge base). Have the POS Button enter the quantity at -1.

Just a thought - would it also be possible to use the cash payout function, setting a macro key to take you straight to the pay line. th reason codes could be adapted to account for different lotteries. This negates the need to use a department or item but can still be reported on

Glenn,

Tried these, however tagalong items don't allow quantity less than '1' so I couldn't get it work.

OPOS,

I think what yhike is saying is to create a Lotto department with 2 ILCs in it.

One called Lotto Sales priced at 1.00 and you sell x number of them.

Another called Lotto Payout (a non-inventory item) priced at (1.00) and you redeem x number of them.

By doing this, you can ring both sales and payouts on the same transaction and keep track of sales and payouts by the ILCs and the Department overall.
