POS Transaction with Gratuity (Tips)
The Hotel POS uses Interface Profile #HOTEL in the Demo Database and the profile is connected to POS Startup Controller #HOTEL-DESK.
The POS Startup Controller defines which codeunit and panel are used to start the POS. The Startup Panel is called #HTL-FRONDESK and codeunit 10033518 Hotel Front Desk is used to handle the commands and functionality within the startup #HTL-FRONTDESK panel. The POS Startup Controller is registered when Retail Modules are registered, and it is not editable. The POS command #HTL-FRONTDESK is used to do necessary functionality and is handled in codeunit 10033518.
There must be at least one Hospitality Type for each restaurant in the hotel for the Split Bill to work.

Create a normal Sales Type called POS, and then for each restaurant create a Hospitality Type with Sales Type POS.

| FastTab | Field | Value |
|---|---|---|
| General | Guest Handling | Request No. Of Guests (No. Mandatory) |

| Split Bill/Transfer Lines | Split Bill Panel ID | #HO-SPLITBILL-GUEST |

POS Transaction with Gratuity (Tips)
In the POS Terminal Card, the Tips handling field in the EFT FastTab, you can define if an EFT payment includes or excludes the tips amount or if the customer should be asked to decide. See also Tips Handling in POS Terminal.
If you are doing a normal POS Transaction unlinked to a folio, the inserted Tips lines only create revenue entries if the transaction is Charged to Room. You create a normal POS Transaction by pressing the POS button in the Reservation template.
In a POS Folio Transaction linked to a folio, the inserted Tips lines create revenue entries that are linked to the folio. You create a POS Folio Transaction by pressing the Pay button in the Folios list.
