How to configure hotkeys on Fred POS Plus (RMH)

Fred POS Plus

Overview

The Custom Buttons (also known as hotkeys) are used in the Fred POS Plus to automate certain functions which otherwise may not be included in the control panel buttons.

For example, you may want to use custom buttons to apply a predefined 10% discount to the
transaction, or quickly tender the transaction with a $10 bill. The rich set of custom commands
allows a wide variety of such actions.
