Payment Voucher form

Name

1–25 characters

The full name for the Payment Voucher. This will be displayed on Reports. This can also be configured in the Alternate Language.

Short Name

1–10 characters

A short name for the Payment Voucher. This will be displayed on POS and Kiosk, or if the full Description is too long. This can also be configured in the Alternate Language.

Payment type

Any configured Payment Type

The Payment Type that the Payment Voucher is associated with. This affects how the payment voucher is tracked at POS, by determining what Payment Group it is included in for Cash Up and Reconciliation.

Value

Any monetary value

The monetary value that the Payment Voucher represents.

For example: $20

Record actual purchase value

cleared

selected

If the checkbox is selected, when the Payment Voucher is redeemed, the Transaction Value will be recorded as the Redemption Value.

Important! This option requires that you also select the option Do Not Supply Change on the Payment Button maintenance form.

If your organisation does not supply change for payment vouchers, this can be used to calculate the difference between the value that vouchers are sold for and the value that vouchers are redeemed for.

For example: A voucher is sold for $100 and redeemed for a transaction with a value of $80 with no change supplied. If Record Actual Purchase Value is selected, $80 will be recorded as the redemption value, enabling calculation of the $20 difference between sale value and redemption value.

Validate via Vouchers & Gift Cards

cleared

selected

If the checkbox is selected, the Payment Voucher will validate online through the Vista Vouchers And Gift Cards system. If the checkbox is cleared, no validation is required.

Voucher control

Any configured Voucher System record

The method used to connect to Vouchers And Gift Cards for online validation.

Connection methods are configured in the Voucher Control application.

Note: This option is only available if Validate online is selected.

Barcode / product code

1–30 characters

A Payment Voucher may have a standard code that is the same for all vouchers of this type, and forms a part of their barcodes.

This is used to associate the Payment Voucher with a Voucher Type in Vista Vouchers And Gift Cards.

For example: The barcodes of all $20 payment vouchers may begin with PV20.

Serial number position

X, Y where X is the start of the range and Y is the end

The Serial No Position is range that the serial number occupies in the larger barcode after the Barcode Code / Product Code.

For example: 5,12 indicates that a Payment Vouchers has a 12-digit barcode. This includes a 4-digit Product Code such as PV20 for $20 vouchers at the beginning, and the serial number starts at the 5th digit and continues through the the 12th (final) digit of the barcode.

This configuration would produce a barcode and serial number such as PV20XXXXXXXX.

Barcode length

Any number 1–255

The total number of digits in the barcode, including the product code and the serial number.

If the Serial No. Position is set and indicates the end position of the barcode, the length can be left blank.

Enforce barcode scanning

cleared

selected

If the checkbox is selected, the Payment Voucher must have its barcode scanned to be redeemed.

For example: Vouchers that require validation may have this field selected, whereas vouchers such as newspaper coupons may have this field cleared, since they have no barcodes and are only required to be presented to the POS Operator.

Barcode restrictions

No restrictions

Restrict barcode to one use per transaction

Restrict barcode to one use only

Determines the restrictions on a barcode's use.
