Work with POS Vouchers

Work with POS vouchers is used to create or maintain vouchers. Using this program vouchers are created against the default POS customer without a link to a customer in the IP1 system.

There are two types of vouchers in the system, a voucher which is used as a gift voucher and a voucher that is issued as a credit note when a refund is processed. When creating vouchers using this program, vouchers are created against the default POS customer set in TMSDS/POS-DFT control file. The company and the currency used for the voucher should exist in TMSAR/VCH-PLCY control file.

For each voucher purchased the cashier must enter the value of the voucher, customer name, country or suburb and the payment details. A unique voucher number is then generated once these details have been captured.  Vouchers are automatically printed once the purchase of vouchers process is completed. When a voucher is created, it is set to Status= “A” for Active. A voucher at the active status can be modified and redeemed. Once a voucher has been redeemed or cancelled it will change to Status=“C” for Closed. Closed vouchers cannot be maintained or re-used in the system.
