About Tender Codes
You use cash and prepay pay codes to indicate that the customer pays for all or part of their purchase at the time of the sale. If you place a cash or a prepay order, you must specify how the customer plans to pay for the merchandise before you complete the order. For example, the customer could pay by cash, check, credit card, coupons, discounts, gift certificates, and other. This choice of payment method is called legal tender. Order Entry uses default tender codes, but you can also create your own.
The default tender codes are set in the (LG7) Tender Code Master screen. You can create your own tender codes, or you can select from a preset list. The codes you use affect which boxes appear when you complete the order, depending on how you set your parameters in the (LG7) screen.
For example, if the customer pays with a check, boxes could open that let you enter the check number, the customer's phone number, driver's license number, and so on. You can customize which boxes appear by setting the corresponding parameters in the (LG7) screen. For more information about setting parameters in the (LG7) screen, see In the (LG7) Screen.
Note: These instructions assume that you are using the default tender codes set in the (LG7) screen. However, if you choose to create your own tender codes, the codes you use and the boxes that appear may differ, depending on how you set the parameters in the (LG7) screen.
