You can customise your Point Of Sale (POS) dockets to have text appear at the top of the docket (“header”) and/or the bottom of the docket (“footer”).
The header and footer text can be changed at any time, allowing you to format the POS docket as you like without the need for custom software changes. This makes it easy to show things like exchange information, seasonal greetings, special offers, hours of operation etc. on dockets as required throughout the year.
Inserts
You can embed placeholders in the body of the text that will be filled when the POS docket generates.
For example, in the docket footer, you might set up the text as: “Served By: ((REP.CODE))” and the output at the bottom of the docket would be “Served By: SAM”.
The following placeholders are available:
- USERID – inserts the user code of the logged in user
- REP.CODE – inserts the till operator code of the signed in operator
- TODAY – inserts current date
- TIME – inserts current time
- TIMEDATE – inserts current time and date
- ABN – inserts ABN as set up in company details
- CO.NAME – inserts company name as set up in company details
- CO.PHONE – inserts phone number as set up in company details
- CO.ADDR – inserts address as set up in company details
- VALID.TO – for quote footer
To use the inserts, use the exact case as noted above and surround them with double parentheses e.g. ((TIMEDATE)).
