Procedure documentationAssigning Department Taxes and Itemizers

Procedure

You can use up to four itemizers to restrict the tenders that a customer can use to pay for the items. You do not explicitly set up itemizers, you simply assign itemizers to tenders and to departments, and if they match, the items in the department can be purchased with the tender. Itemizers can also be used to restrict discounts and items in addition to tenders. Itemizers are assigned to tenders in the Configurator by your head office.

For example, if the tender food stamps has itemizer ID 2, and department 3 has itemizer ID 2, a customer can pay for an item in the department with food stamps. If department 4 has itemizer ID 1, a customer cannot pay for items in it with food stamps. You can assign taxes to itemizers that have been assigned to a department.

For example, assume department 3 is assigned itemizers 1 and 3, and itemizer 1 is assigned taxes 1 and 2, and itemizer 3 is assigned tax 2. The tender cash has itemizer 1, and food stamps have itemizer 3. If the customer pays for an item in department 3 with cash, tax 1 and 2 is applied. If the customer pays for the item with food stamps, only tax 2 is applied.

To assign taxes and itemizers to departments:

  1. Add or open the department for which you want to define taxes, and then from the Department window, click the Taxes tab. For more information, see Adding and Changing Departments. The Taxes tab appears.

  2. In the Tax Flags section of the tab, select the check boxes for the taxes that can be assigned to the itemizers for the department.

  3. Under Itemizers in the lower section of the tab, select the check boxes for the itemizers to be applied to items in this department.

  4. Beside the selected itemizers, select the check boxes for the taxes to be applied to the itemizers applied to the department.
