If this option is enabled and a tendered amount is not entered before pressing the tender key an "Entry compulsory" message will appear. The user must enter an amount greater than or equal to the amount due before pressing the tender key. If the amount entered is insufficient to cover the total cost, a new total will be displayed showing the word "Short" and the remaining amount due. If the amount entered exceeds the total cost, the word "Change" will be displayed with the change amount owed to the customer. If overtender is not allowed, a "Entry too high" message will be displayed and the user must re-enter the amount tendered.

Select this option if the user requires managerial rights. If the user does not have managerial rights, pressing the tender key will display a "Manager Required" message. Managerial override may be accessed by pressing the USR key and temporarily logging in as a user with managerial rights. "Mo" will be displayed at the top of the register to indicate managerial override mode. The register will return to regular mode once the entry has been completed or the CLEAR key has been pressed.

Select this option if a cash declaration is required for this currency. On GoPOS pressing the Cash Declaration fixed function key will display the list of Tenders that require cash declarations. Enter the amount followed by the times key (X) and the denomination, then press the Tender.

If Setting 95 - Use Enhanced Cash Declaration is enabled, GoPOS will display a dialogue with all defined currency denominations. This will speed up the cash declaration and minimize entry errors by allowing the user to simply enter the quantity of each denomination. Once all amounts and denominations for all tenders have been declared, pressing the "Finish cash declaration" button will calculate the total declared and print a receipt.  When Setting 45 - Cash declaration mandatory for clerks report is enabled, each tender with this option enabled must be declared before the clerk will be allowed to print the clerk report. Attempting to print the report before declaring will display a "Mandatory Cash Declaration" message. The clerk report will include the amount declared for each Tender as well as the calculate difference between tendered and declared.

Rounding

Select this option if the total transaction amount should be rounded. The type of rounding performed will be based on Setting 53 - "Cash Rounding".

Ask for a number entry

When using this Tender, a pop up window will be displayed to allow the clerk to enter a reference number used to identify the payment.

Overtender Not Allowed

Select this option if the amount tendered can not exceed the amount due. If the amount tendered exceeds the total due, a "Entry too high" message is displayed and the user must re-enter the amount tendered.

Food Stamp

Select this option if the tender can be used to purchase food stamp products. Using this tender will subtotal all Food Stamp items without tax when tendering the transaction. If a valid payment terminal is linked to the Tender, GoPOS will attempt to authorize and process the transaction.

Over-tendering is not allowed.

If a valid payment terminal is linked to the Tender, GoPOS will attempt to authorize and process the transaction. If the transaction amount is greater than the customer's online balance, the remaining transaction amount will be added to the non-food stamp balance and will be taxable. Over-tendering is not allowed, but a cash advance can be requested on GoPOS, which will send a cash advance request to the linked EFT.
