Procedure documentationSetting Up Bottle Deposit Fees as Non-Merchandise

Procedure

The following procedure describes how to link a bottled product PLU to a deposit fee set up in the non-merchandise configuration. This is suitable in environments with one, or very few, bottle deposit fee values.

Create the Bottle Deposit Non-Merchandise Record

  1. In Non-merchandise configuration, create a new record for a bottle deposit fee by typing the next sequential number from the Non-merchandise Search screen in the Non-merchandise ID field.

  2. Type Bottle Deposit or a similar heading in the Description field.

  3. In the Quick Menu drop-down list on the General tab page, select Nonmer.

  4. Type BOT DEP or a similar heading in the Keyboard Description field.

  5. Some default values may already be set. In addition, ensure that the following settings are enabled for the bottle deposit:

    • Force Preset Amount

    • Positive Amount

    • Add to Gross

    • Allow Quantity

    • Allow in Merchandise

    • Allow Suspend

    • Allow Item Void

    • Non Income

  6. Type a value in the Preset Amount field to define the bottle deposit fee amount.

  7. Select 1 in the Preset Price Denominator drop-down list. Depending on the value you enter here, you may set a price containing a fraction of a penny.

  8. On the Data Capture tab page, do the following:

    • Type Bottle Deposit or a similar heading in the Prompt Description field.

    • Enable the Is Bottle Deposit option in the Bottle section.

  9. Save the record.

  3. In the Link Non-merchandise Sell Quantity field, enter the number of bottle deposits that may apply per PLU item.

  4. Save the settings.
