Hello Everyone,
Based upon tender type (credit, debit, EBT) I'd like to automagically take the sales total and place it in the appropriate location on the tender screen. I'm assuming this would be a somewhat common need, am I missing something or do I need to write COM add-in to make it happen?
Thanks in Advance,
Sue

Thank you Andy! For the info on the undocumented "+" key feature! :)
The "+" worked wonderfully since the client has a touchscreen monitor.
A couple possible suggestions...
1) After pressing the F12 Tender button, highlight the tender that is to be used, and press the + symbol on the numlock keypad. This will auto fill in the remaining balancing and it does press enter for you.
2) you could install a programmable keyboard onto the register system. These keyboards allow you to program buttons on the keyboard to do specific tasks for you. for example, you could program a keyboard to do the following..
On the press of the keyboard button labeled 'Visa', it would do the following..
- Press F12 Tender button
- down arrow, down arrow, down arrow (basically however many down arrows it takes to get to the Visa tender.
- + (numlock + symbol so it auto fills in the amount due, and presses enter.)
now the credit card number screen should be visible, waiting for the cashier to swipe the card.
all of that was completed just by pressing one single button on the keyboard. I do have experiencing in programming these keyboards. Ask if you have any questions.
Thanks for your reply, ArtsyGuy. I guess I should have included more details.
The owner of the store uses an external device for card processing. So I would like to trigger from the push of the tender type the copy of the sales total to the tender type amount "bucket" and possibly invoke an [Enter]. The reason I say possibly invoke an [Enter] this would be a problem with a split payment sale.
Do you mean that you want to swipe a card and then have it populate the tender type in the dialog box? This is, if it's a credit card it fills in the total into Credit Card and if it's a debit card, it'd fill in as Debit Card tender?
