This field contains the POS Terminal Group that indicates which POS terminals are cashier terminals (on which POS terminals transactions are finalized). The system uses this to determine the function of scanning a loading card (via MSR or barcode) in the Sales POS.
If the POS terminal is a cashier terminal, the following applies when a loading card is scanned on the Sales POS:
- If the current transaction is new (no lines), the transaction linked to the loading card becomes the current transaction (Load Transaction).
- If the current transaction is not new (lines exist), the following applies:
- If the loading card transaction is a part of the current transaction, the lines linked to the loading card are transferred to a new transaction (Un-combine loading card lines).
- If the loading card transaction is not a part of the current transaction, the lines of the loading card transaction are transferred to the current transaction (Combine loading card transaction).
If the POS terminal is not a cashier terminal, the following applies:
- If the current transaction is new (no lines), the following applies:
- If no transaction is linked to the loading card, the current transaction is linked to the loading card (Link New Transaction to Loading Card).
- If a transaction is linked to the loading card, this transaction becomes the current transaction (Load Transaction).
If the current transaction is not new (lines exist), an error occurs, requesting that the current transaction be confirmed. The confirmation triggers the transaction lines being sent to kitchen if necessary and a new transaction set as the current transaction.
