Setting up Deal Modifiers

Viewing and editing the deal modifier items

Deal modifiers are a set of items that the customer can select from within the deal. Each deal modifier or deal modifier item can add to the price of the deal.

Before you can add a deal modifier to a deal, you need to create a deal modifier template. If you have set up item modifiers already, they appear in the Deal Modifier Template List.

To set up a deal modifier - Deal Settings

On the Deal Modifiers FastTab on the Deal page:

  1. Fill in the Explanatory Header Text field. If this field is not filled in, the program uses the Deal Description as a header for the pop-up. If you include %1 in the text, the program inserts the price of the deal where %1 is positioned.
  2. You can fill in the Extra Items Header Text field if you are using deal modifiers only shown on request and want to have a specific heading for the pop-up when they are shown.
  3. In the When Deal Pressed field, select either Display Deal Modifiers (the system displays the deal modifiers in a pop-up window) or Insert Default Selection (the system inserts the default selection for the deal and no pop-up appears).
  4. In the Quantity Handling field, select the type of quantity handling you want for the deal.
  5. OK Pressed Action field indicates which action the program takes for deal modifiers in the POS Pop-up window when the OK button is pressed. The options are:
    • Jump to Next Undisplayed Deal Modifier: If there are any deal modifiers in the group that have not been displayed yet, the program displays the next such deal modifier. Otherwise, it closes the panel.
    • Close Panel is used to indicate that when the user presses OK in the pop-up panel after selecting items from a single modifier, the program closes the panel, as long as the selection is OK.

To insert a deal modifier line

On a new line in the Lines section on the Deal page:

  1. In the Type field, select Deal Modifier.
  2. In the No. field, select the desired deal modifier from the Deal Modifier Template List page. The program has now copied the deal modifier lines of the template to the deal.Note: The Quantity field always contains 1 for deal modifiers. The Max. Selection and Min. Selection fields in the Deal Modifier Items window control how many items can be selected.
  3. In the Modifier Added Amount field you can enter the amount that is added to the deal price when items from this deal modifier are selected. Added amount is set either for the deal modifier or for the deal modifier items specifically. If you fill in this field and there are deal modifier items with Added Amount field filled in, the program clears the Added Amount field for the deal modifier items on your confirmation.

    Note: Modifier Added Amount can only be set when Min. and Max. selection for the modifier is the same and is not zero. This is for the program to be able to calculate the added amount correctly when you order two or more of the deal.

  4. Place a check mark in the Default Selection field to set this modifier as the default when the deal's settings specify When Deal Pressed as Insert Default Selection.
  5. Place a check mark in the Show on Extra Request Only field if you want this deal modifier only to be displayed when extra items are requested for the deal. The POS command DEALMODADDEXTRA displays a pop-up with this and any other deal modifiers with this field marked.
  6. You fill in the Deal Modifier Size Group field and Deal Mod. Size Gr. Index field, if you are setting up a sizable deal.
  7. Fill in the Multiple Selection, Min. Selection and Max. Selection fields. They control how many items can be selected for this deal modifier. By default, the program enters 1 as minimum and maximum.

Viewing and editing the deal modifier items

  • Select Lines, Deal Line Modifier Items to view the items for this deal modifier. The header of the window contains the deal settings for Deal Modifiers, and the deal modifier settings.

For each line:

  1. In the Added Amount field, you can enter an amount that is added to the deal price when selecting this item. The amount can be negative.
  2. You can place a check mark in the Default Selection field, if you want this item to be selected by default when the Pop-up panel opens. The number of entries with default selection cannot be more than maximum selection for the modifier.
  3. In the Max. Item Selection field, you can enter a limitation on how many times this item can be selected. This applies only if maximum selection of the deal modifier is none or more than 1.
  4. In the Min. Selection field, you can enter how many times the deal modifier item must be selected. If this field is 0, there is no minimum selection limit.
  5. In the Receipt Printing field, you can change the default way of how the deal modifier is printed on the receipt.
  6. You can delete items or insert new items.

Note: If the When Deal Pressed is Insert Default Selection, you must have at least one deal modifier item marked as Default Selection for each deal modifier that is marked as Default Selection.
