Record an EFTPOS Surcharge - Set up End of Day processes

Fred POS

Overview

If you have card surcharges enabled on your EFTPOS machines, these figures are not captured in Fred POS, as they are applied at the time of completing the EFTPOS transaction.

This article describes a method to record a total daily surcharge before the Z Report is completed, to help reconcile the EFTPOS Batch Entry amount.

Setup Steps

1. Create a Surcharge Item.
   See Create new non-dispense items in Fred Office Plus Online Help for more details.
2. Create a Surcharge Tender type.  Refer to the steps in Tender types (Fred POS Tills) 

End of Day Steps

1. Before completing EFTPOS Settlement and/or the registers Z report, obtain Surcharge total from the EFTPOS
   

   This will be different depending on the EFTPOS system used. Please refer to your merchant for more information. 

2. Type SURCHARGE into the transaction window.
3. At the Item Price prompt, enter price for Surcharge, obtained in Step 1, and press OK.
4. Tender the transaction using the Surcharge Tender type.
