The operator enters customer transaction in the same way as the bank and credit card transactions. Transaction codes may be customized for each client, but the usual ones are 27-customer charges, 30-retail ticket transfers (customer charges in bulk), 40-receipts on account, 20-lottery paid outs, and 99-coupons. Coupons can be programmed to perform complicated transactions behind the scene, like going to a payable instead of a receivable, or just charging an expense (like a driveoff) to a specified store’s expense account in the convenience store P& L and in the general ledger.
Keep in mind that the store is on-line with the back office at all times, so there is no need to synchronize the data, The office can put a hold on a customer’s credit and prevent the store from accidentally charging a ticket to a customer’s account.
If the operator doesn’t know the customer’s account number, a handy screen pops up to assist them.

Once customer transactions, debit/credit memos, receipts on account, lottery paid outs and coupons have been entered, the operator may accept these transactions and go on to the next step. The operator may return to this program and add, edit or delete entries at anytime before the day is closed.
