I followed the below steps to setup gift cards:

1.Create a Product for Gift card

2.Define this product in Retail parameters/Posting/Gift Card

3.Gift card Company should be defined, Gift card policies can be used if required.

4.Configuration of Gift card default policies & Policy sets are based on your requirement.

5. To use this in POS , Add Issue Gift Card / Pay Gift card & Gift card Balance buttons in the respective screen layout.

6. Configure Gift card as a Payment method, Assign this payment method to the respective stores/Payment methods.

7. Schedule relevant jobs to update the Store server.

However, when trying to issue a gift card from POS, I get the below error:

"Tender information is unavailable. Check the program's tender setup"

Please could somebody tell what step I have missed in the gift card setup.

RE: Gift card setup

In order to add amount to Gift card through Retail POS, follow the below steps:

Add a new button in Retail POS - >

Select the operation - > Add to Gift Card

Enter the Gift card number and Amount

This will now show as an item in your cart in Retail POS and you can pay the amount through your any of your payment methods:

After that you can check your Gift Card balance to ensure that the amount has been added:

If anybody else is having any problems with adding amount to Gift Card through Retail POS, I hope this would help them out.

RE: Gift card setup

I also faced problems while adding amount to Gift card through AX.

The below steps really helped in solving my problem:

I want to add amount to my Gift Card in legal entity USRT. I use menu “Add amount” in “Call Center > Journals > Payment management > Gift cards”.

I filled “Gift card number”, “Amount to add”, and “Customer”. Then click “Payments” in “Add to gift card balance” form.

In “Customer Payments” form, I click “Add” then “Payment” form is appeared. I got issue that there is no payment method when I want to lookup “Payment method”.

I tried to right click on “Payment method” then click “View Details” to open “Payment methods” form. I tried to create a new payment method. But, when I tried to save record, I got warning error “Field ‘Channel’ must be filled in”. Then, I cancel this process.

So, my friend told me to check “Call centers” in “Retail > Common > Retail channels > Call centers”.

Then, check “Channel users”. Ohh this is the cause of issue about no payment method in “Customer Payments” form. My current user (AXAOSAdm) is not registered to “Channel users” yet. So, I create a new record in “Channel users” and add my current user (AXAOSAdm).

Yes, now I can lookup “Payment method” when add customer payments.

Then, I can enter customer payment information.

After that, I close “Customer Payments” form and click “OK” in “Add to gift card balance” form. Then, system will post the invoice and give us information “Invoice USRT-000004 has been posted”.

If anybody else is having any problems with adding amount to Gift Card through AX, I hope this would help them out.
