CheckSumCode |
1 2 3 SKIP or blank Custom |
This option defines the algorithm used to generate the checksum digit for voucher barcodes, and to validate those barcodes at POS. This value overrides the Check Formula Method defined in the voucher's ticket type, item, or payment type. 1,2,3 Uses one of Vista's three inbuilt algorithms to generate the checksum and validate the barcodes. SKIP prevents checksum validation. This is the equivalent to leaving the field blank. Custom algorithms are possible; consult your Vista representative. Note: Vista strongly recommends leaving this setting blank and using randomised barcodes instead. You can enable this feature in the Voucher types maintenance form in Vouchers and Gift Cards by selecting . |
