Adjusting the POS charge

Use the Adjust POS screen to manually adjust a part of the POS charge for an itemizer. You can select the itemizer and specify the amount or percentage to be adjusted for the itemizer.

You can calculate the pro-rated taxes based on the adjusted POS summary charge amount. An item that has been adjusted cannot be readjusted.

Note: Pro-rate tax is only available when taxes are not HMS calculated nor distributed.

To adjust the POS charge:

Select a POS Summary Charge in the Folio tab.
Select a POS Charge line from the list of transactions.
Select Actions > Adjust/Discount POS.
Select an Itemizer line on the Adjust POS screen.
Specify the Adjusted Amount or Adjusted Percent for the selected Itemizer line, to adjust or discount the original amount.

Note: You must enable the NEGATIVEDISCOUNT property parameter to specify the negative values in the Adjusted Amount field.
Select the Pro-Rate Taxes check box to calculate the pro-rated tax for the item.
Click Calculate. The taxes are calculated from the tax group based on the adjusted amounts (Adjust Amount, Adjust Percentage, and Adjust Amount of POS summary charge)
Click Submit. The application posts the adjustments charges. All the POS item charges are posted to the Accounting folio and the Tax group is used to calculate the taxes.
Note: The three categories used to calculate the Itemizer tax when Adjustment Transaction code or the Original Transaction code are configured are:
- Non-Distributed Taxes
- HMS calculated
- Distributed Taxes
