A deal with a quantity greater than one can be split in the journal. This feature is particularly useful when taking orders for a group of people who all want the same deal with the same modifiers, but after ordering the deal, one or more people want to change the modifiers. By splitting the deal according to the number of people who want different modifiers, you can easily adjust the modifiers for the new deal that appears at the bottom of the transaction journal.
Example:
You have registered a cheese hamburger deal with French fries for five people. One person then decides they want sweet potato fries instead of regular fries, and another person does not want onion on their burger. By splitting the original deal, automatically reducing the quantity to 4, and adding a new deal with a quantity of 1 at the bottom, you can easily change the new deal to include sweet potato fries instead of regular fries. By splitting the original deal again, automatically reducing the quantity to 3, and adding another new deal with a quantity of 1 at the bottom, you can easily change this new deal to exclude the onion from the hamburger.
