Positive File
The Positive File
contains a list of reference numbers for items such as gift certificates or in-house charges. The system uses this file to validate input for POS entries such as tenders, and nonmerchandise or user-defined transactions.
In order for a function to be validated against the positive file, you must set the parameters for that function (that is, the tender type or transaction type) to prompt for positive file validation. The system then validates reference numbers for each function if the reference number is present in the positive file.
