The prefix 5 is followed by a 5 digit UCC company number, 3 digit family code, 2 digit value code, and a check digit. This is used with Coupon configuration which specifies the coupon value for each value code. For more information, see NSC Manufacturer and Custom In-Store Coupons below.

If disabled (Unmatched), no matching is performed on the manufacturer code or the family code by the POS, and the coupon discount is assigned to an item selected by the cashier. The cashier must check that the required quantity and items have been purchased. This option applies to both NSC 5 manufacturer coupons and to Custom NSC (In-Store) coupons.

This option currently not supported

Tax Table Specified by Store Number

Downloads one comprehensive file containing tax information for all stores to each store instead of each store having multiple tax files to cover all the jurisdictions. This option supports cross-border returns configurations. To enable this option, you also need to set up a jurisdiction tax ID for each store in Jurisdiction ID configuration.

When this option is enabled, all defined jurisdiction tax tables are exported to file jtdtxn.asc. The POS uses the store number and file jtdtxn.asc to retrieve the taxes for the required jurisdiction and calculates the taxes for the transaction. When this option is not enabled, the POS uses the local tax table (tax table 0) in the transaction. The default setting for this option is disabled.

Enable MRP Pricing

Supports the Maximum Retail Price feature, which allows the POS to display several prices for an item so that the cashier can select the price that appears on the item's package.

Disable Message When MRP Prices Not Available

Used in the Maximum Retail Price feature to disable the message that appears when no MRP prices are found for an entered item.

Transaction Cancel After Partial Auth/Tender

Allows the cashier to cancel a transaction after the tendering process has begun. This is also determined by all other existing rules regarding the ability to cancel a transaction. If authorized tenders are configured to allow Authorized Post Voids a void request is initiated.

The default setting for this option is disabled.

Allow Post Void Multiple Authorization Transaction

Allows the cashier to post void a transaction that has multiple authorizations.

Allow Post Void Without Return Status For:<n> Minutes After Sale

Allows a post void before a specified period of time has passed. SAP POS will first verify that no items from the original sale have been returned. The POS performs this verification by first checking with the Returns Authorization server (if Returns Authorization is deployed for use) and then with the Xpress Server. In the event that both of these servers are not online, or that the original transaction has not yet been posted, the POS will allow the post void to proceed only if the sale was originally recorded within the last <n> minutes, where <n> is specified by this setting. Note that this setting only overrides the verification of the return status when neither server is able to provide a status. If you do not want to allow a post void to be processed in the absence of return status verification, set this value to 0 (zero). The default setting is 0.

XML Claimed Directory

Provides the path of the XML files that are generated when a customer receives a receipt from an Automatic Bottle Return machine. To validate the Bottle Return receipt, the POS looks for the corresponding XML files in the path specified by the XML Pending Directory parameter after the receipt is scanned.

When the XML file is found, it is moved to the directory specified in this field at the end of the transaction. This is to prevent a receipt from being scanned more than once.
