There are 16 payment types, these can have a description of up to 21
characters
It should be noted the payment type 1 should be used for cash and
payment type 2 as Cheque the others, between 3 and 15 can be set as
required.

Once you have entered the payment type screen you will see that each
payment type  can be configured for various settings to be allowed or
not allowed, they are,:-

Tendering.
Over tendering
Change to be given
Gratuities to be given if change is set to no and gratuities no then any
Over tendered amount will appear as surplus on various print outs.
a selection of Drawer to open for this payment type
a Maximum limit can be set for example 50 pounds for Cheque.
EFT. Set to no or yes. If yes was selected this would mean that when
this payment key is used the Server will be asked to carry out the
procedure for an electronic fund transfer from a credit card.

And the final setting is whether or not this payment type is to be set as
Non-bankable.
This would then appear on the reports as a non bankable total.

Payment type 16 is reserved for hotel transfer or post to room.
This payment type is intended to be used in conjunction with hotel
reservation software that will be run on a remote computer.
When this method of payment is used then the Server will be prompted
to enter a guests room number when this is entered the details for that
room will be brought from the computer and displayed on the EPoS, the
details will include the room number, whether the room is occupied or
not, the account holders name, and a booking reference.

I will discuss the availability of this and other software in a later section.
