This procedure describes how to configure the Empty
Bottle Return
function initiated by a bottle redemption receipt.
Redemption receipts can be issued by empty bottle collection machines, or
by a POS designated for empty bottle processing. They can be processed within
a regular transaction with other items or in a separate transaction.
To configure Empty Bottle Return processing from a redemption receipt you must do the following:
In Non-merchandise configuration, create the following records:
20: Bottle Deposit Claim — This Non-merchandise
record is only used for bottle returns which are initiated when a redemption
receipt is entered. It also initiates a request for verification of the XML
contained in the barcode and requires both the Bottle Deposit
Price From Barcode
and Is Bottle Deposit
settings
to be enabled.
21: Bottle Deposit — This Non-merchandise
record is reserved for bottle return processing and is used to allow the cashier
to enter the amount for a bottle return. It requires the Preset
Price
setting to be disabled, and the Is Bottle
Deposit
setting to be enabled.
For more information, see Non-Merchandise: Data Capture.
In Bar
Code configuration, create a bar code definition for the bottle
deposit bar code. Ensure that the Tender Amount
field
is defined.
In Item Entry Control configuration, create a new record by doing the following:
Define the length of the bar code
Define the prefix of the bar code
Create a link to Non Merch ID 20
Assign the bar code created in Step 2.
