Configuration

Products

• go to your products, and click on the ‘Meal Voucher’ checkbox, if your product can be paid with meal vouchers.

• You can configure your product categories to have a default value for the products that belong to this category.

• configures your Account journals, mentioning the type of Meal Voucher:

• Paper : the journal will be used when scanning meal voucher barcodes

• Dematerialized: the journal will be used for dematerialized meal vouchers

• Mixed: Specific configuration if your accountant want to use a single journal for Credit card AND dematerialized meal vouchers. In that case, the button of this journal will be duplicated, and an extra text can be set to display an alternative label.

• go your point of sale configuration form, and set the maximum amount allowed by ticket. (optional)

Usage

• Open your Point of Sale

• Cashier can see the food products, eligible for meal voucher payment, and see the total for Meal Voucher amount

  

• go to the payment screen

A Meal Voucher Summary is available:

If the amount received is too important, a warning icon is displayed

If the cashier try to validate the order, a warning is also display, asking confirmation

It is a non blocking warning, because we don’t want to prevent an order to be done, if products are not correctly set, or if a recent law changed the maximum amount that can be used each day. (A recent case occured in France, during the Covid-19 pandemy)

Informations are printed on the ticket, if the point of sale is so configured.

Note

A new barcode rule is available for Paper Meal Voucher of 24 chars:

...........{NNNDD}........

If you scan the following barcode 052566641320080017000000, a new payment line will be added, with an amount of 8,00€ (00800)
