INTRODUCTION
When processing a sale the user may want to apply an overall discount to the sale rather than reducing each individual item and this is done by pressing the F9 - Allow discount.
There is security to prevent this option being used in agility and now also an additional security if required to only allow the sale to be rounded down automatically to the nearest £/€.
DISCOUNTING A SALE
So at the end of the sale the user may decide to give a percentage discount or a value discount.
this can be done by pressing the
button on the till and then the
F9 button
Select Round down
The software deducts the cents. E.g. 0.80 and the discount value
Or the user may want to take 1.80 in the value field - this includes VAT
Or the user may want to give a % discount e.g. 10%
Promotion Code - Need information
Once finished select OK

There are a few places where security needs to be set:
