The following options relate to the selected company and the characteristics of TransActPOS as a whole.
Item note
If the item being sold contains a note, the system will display its contents according to the selected option:
-
None - No notification or display
-
Inform - The user is prompted that a note exists but does not display the contents. Pressing Item Notes - F7 will display the contents of the note.
-
Display - The note will automatically display its contents. Pressing any key will allow the user to proceed with the transaction.
Ask to print invoices
Three options are available:
-
Never - All receipts are printed
-
Cash Paid - The user is only prompted during cash sales whether the customer wants a receipt.
-
Always - The user is prompted during all sales whether the customer wants a receipt.

The screen delay is the number of seconds before the change information is cleared from the screen and the program proceeds to the main menu or detail invoice screen. A zero value will require the user to choose Ring Sale or Main Menu after each invoice.
Apply to Get Customer
Checking this option will apply the screen delay to the “Get Customer” first
Marketing Information
Ask for Zipcode
Checking the "Ask for Zipcode" prompts the sales clerk to enter the customer's zipcode during the sales process.
Short Barcode Initial Character
A "short barcode" is utilized when printing to jewelry labels which have a limited printing area. The short barcode is derived from an internal item number and is preceded by the indicated character value. Selecting the pick list will allow the user to select between "$" or "+".
When the barcode is read by the scanner, the system will first look within the short barcode listing to locate the item and then return the appropriate Stock Keeping Unit (SKU).
Label Printing
Check the Use label's printer setup only if directed from Tech Support.
Fast Access (Single Login)
The Fast Access option eliminates the repeated login prompts required of a more secure business environment.
Note: By selecting this option, the installation understands that the security of the system has been reduced.
Note: Selecting this option will also disable the ability to have multiple drawers per workstation.
Item Find "Close" and "Only"
Without this option selected, the Item Find does not remember the previously listed items.. If this option is chosen, selecting Find, the system will present the previously generated list thus making locating a list of items a bit easier. Try out this option and see if it helps.
Only End Sale with "F2"
Some installations would prefer not to have the Enter button automatically advance to the "End Sale(F2)" button if the Item Number is blank. Check this option if you do not want the system to advance automatically upon pressing Enter at a blank Item Number.
Turn OFF Plus Item Add in Ring Sale
The Plus (+) key will add another item of the previous entered item to the ring sale invoice. Checking this option will turn this feature off.
Turn ON Ping Test
Ping test will run a test for internet connectivity.
Accept Layaways
If the option is installed, TransActPOS can create and manage customer layaways. During the payment process, the user will be required to meet certain deposit requirements. Two parameters below allow the system to meet most scenarios.
Deposit %
The Deposit % is the required deposit percentage of the invoice to create a layaway. This will also be used by Sales Orders for the deposit percentage. This is a default amount that can be altered during the layaway process.
Residual %
The Residual % represents the deposit balance required when a customer picks up only a portion of a layaway. If the layaway residual percentage is not met, the customer will not be able to pick up items from the layaway. An additional deposit will be required before the system will process the pickup (invoice) request.
Allow Account Chrg
If this feature is selected and the deposit calculation indicates that additional payment is required to pickup a layaway item(s), the system will create an automatic account charge to cover the required deposit. Otherwise, the system will prompt for additional payments to meet the deposit and residual requirements.
S.O. No Deposit for Charge
If this feature is selected account charge customer's do not require a deposit.
Gift Certificate Option Enabled
The gift certificate option will allow the store to create a gift card for the customer for use at a future time. When the gift card option is used, the store receives some form of cash for the gift card. The resulting transaction will be an increase in assets and an increase in liabilities for the store. When the gift certificate is redeemed, the store’s liabilities will be reduced by the amount of the sale in which the gift certificate was used.
Print Usage at Payment
The usage report will provide the customer with a recap of the gift card’s transactions and current balance. The report will print immediately after the sales receipt is printed if this option is selected.
Club Member ID Length
The ID Length refers to the number of digits contained within the customer's frequent buyer identification ID. This number is not the customer account number. A customer may have multiple frequent buyer IDs pointing back to a single customer account number.
POS Importing - Allow XLS Importing
TransActPOS is capable of importing .xls Excel spreadsheets.
Min. POS Item Length
When adding an item to the inventory, this setting allows you to determine the minimum item number length allowed.
Exclude printing Return Tags
Checking this option will exclude the printing of return tags.
Multiple Cash Drawers
This selection indicates if the installation has workstations with multiple cash drawers attached.
Exclude Reason Drawer Open
Checking this option will exclude the requirement for providing a reason for doing an Open Drawer(F9).
