Auto Generate Reference
You use automatically generated reference numbers to define how you want the system to generate reference numbers for a particular item or transaction. These reference numbers are sequences of numbers that the system prints on a receipt or a tender such as a voucher. You can use reference numbers for:
Tenders
Nonmerchandise transactions
User-defined transactions
Tracking
Encrypting prices that are printed on receipts or credit notes.
Depending upon your implementation and business requirements, you can choose to generate reference numbers locally by the POS terminal or by the server.
To create an automatically generated reference number, you may have to set parameters in other windows first. You must determine which options are required, depending on your original configuration and complete the settings before you define the auto generate reference number.
Example
If you want a portion or all of the auto generate reference number encrypted on a receipt, you must first set up the parameters for the encryption in the Encryption window.
