Object documentationRegister Parameters: T-Logs

 

The T-Logs tab page allows you to modify options that support the TLog transmission process.

Structure

Add Miscellaneous at End of Transaction

When this option is enabled a Miscellaneous type 37 (End of Transaction) record is written to the TLog at the end of the transaction. This must be enabled when doing a return lookup in the Returns Authorization application, or when using the Real Time Trickle feature.

Add Itemized Tax Record

Triggers the writing of tax values at the item level in the transaction log. When this option is on, taxes are calculated and saved in the item record. For merchandise items this is in the I8 record. For non-merchandise items this is in the N7 record. Up to 16 taxes are saved. The default enabled.

Note Note

Taxes charged in a transaction are calculated at the total level regardless of this option. Taxes calculated at the item level or at the transaction level will calculate a transaction total differently. For example, if you sell 100 items with a value of .01. The item tax on a .01 item is zero to give a transaction tax total of zero; tax on a total of $1.00 results in a tax amount. Itemized taxes in the I8 and I7 TLog records give an approximation of the taxes for the items. The calculation at item level gives a tax as if the item was purchased separately.

End of the note.

Adjust Itemized Tax for Exact Total

Adjusts the item level taxes calculated by using the Add Itemized Tax Record option. If this option is checked, then the itemized tax is adjusted so that adding up all of the individual item taxes equals the total of the original sale.

The default setting is unchecked.

This option does not apply to transactions that contain both sales and return items and return/refund transactions.

Add Tax Configuration Data

If this option is checked, two User Exit (UE) records are written to the TLog and appear at the beginning of each transaction. These records contain the store’s tax description and tax rates. The information comes directly from the tax parameter files and does not reflect any tax modification made during the transaction.

  • UE with subtype 100: contains tax descriptions

  • UE with subtype 101: contains tax rates.
