Sale/Discount price not shown on receipt

Oct 10, 2007 3 Replies

When we discount a price or have a sale price, the receipt shows the retail price and the Discount amount, but not the amount actually paid for each item. We'd prefer to have the actual amount shown rather than the original amount and discount. How can we change the receipt format to do this.



Here is an example of our present receipt.



NB-JJ-1 TUCSON ORNAMENT $3.00 Discount ($2.00)



NB-04-1076 HEART COLLECTOR $9.00 Discount ($4.50)



===== Sub Total $5.50 Total $5.50



This is what I'd like to see:



NB-JJ-1 TUCSON ORNAMENT $1.00 Discount ($2.00)



NB-04-1076 HEART COLLECTOR $4.50 Discount ($4.50)



===== Sub Total $5.50 Total $5.50



hi Jane, There are way you can do so but I am not sure what customer understand once you will do such modification. anyhow modify the receipt.xml file and instead of print the Entry.ExtendedFullPrice field you can use:

Entry.ExtendedPrice ( Discounted price of all quantities of the item in the entry. This price includes tax in VAT systems)

Let me know if need more help. Akber Alwani

I've changed the receipt.xml file to Entry.ExtendedPrice but it still does not show on the receipt. It has been 6 months since we set up the receipt and I think I need to tell the program that I've changed the receipt format, but I've forgotten how. Please help me with the steps so the program will recognize the changed receipt.xml file. Also does that file have to reside on each POS computer? Or is it sufficient to be only on the computer where the master database file resides?

Thanks

hi Jane, Load the SO Manager Program, Go to Database> Registers> and then Click on the Receipt Format, there you can click the Receipt file i.e. 40 column Receipt and then click on properties window, click on the Hour Glass button and reattached the modified receipt.xml file you can do one more thing with safety reason that instead of modifying the original recept.xml file you can create your own file called myreceipt.xml (copy the receipt.xml and rename it to myrecept.xml) and do whatever modification you wanted to do and the attached it as specified.

In other query It depends that how you setup your POS terminal to access the file from network drive or local, I usually use the network map drive to point all workstation to use the file. (try to see file and print sharing help in windows)

Rate once success.
