Bill ð Capture

•

All the bill entries in a single transaction should be of the same type ie Electronic transfer type or Manual transfer type. No transaction can have a combination of transfer types.

•

If the User clicks on button at any point during the bill entry the System clears the current entry made by the user and allows the user to enter a new Bill.

•

If the User does not enter any details action and clicks button the System displays the message:

“Barcode is not valid”.

•

Multiple bills can be entered as long as the Account Numbers are different.

•

If the User scans the same bill twice, The system displays the message:

“Bill payment has already been scanned during the current sale transaction”

•

The Comments field entry is:

•

Stored in the Database

•

Printed in the EDI Report File and the General Misc Payments report

•

Sent to Telstra as part of the EDI Report file.

We are unaware of whether Telstra actually uses this field or not.

•

Cheque Overprinting in the ICE Bill Pay module has now been replaced in BillPoint by the cheque number being added to Bill Payment Tender Summary by date report in the EDI Report File.

•

When entering payment details, double-pressing the Enter key will populate an amount field with the balance of the payment.

•

System does the following validations

•

If the payment is only in Cash or a combination of Cash and Gift Voucher, the cash amount is rounded to the nearest 5 cents. If the bill amount is 10.53, the amount will be rounded to 10.55, if the amount is 10.52, the amount will be rounded to 10.50.

•

Rounding off is done only if the payment is a full Cash payment type or a combination of Cash and Gift Voucher.

•

The total amount entered for all Payment types does not exceed the Payment Total else the button is not enabled.

•

The total amount entered for all Payment types is not less than the Payment Total else the button is not enabled.

•

Other than Cash, all other payment modes must have payment details updated.

•

The button is not enabled if the above validations fail.

•

In BillPoint the Receipt Number has changed format:

•

Under the old Bill Pay system the receipt number was in the format:

Ref No:   CS000xxxxx     dd/mm/yyyy

•

This number was incremented by 1 for each receipt within a store.

•

Under the new BillPoint system the format has changed to become:

Ref Code: xxxx  dd/mm/yyy

•

This number increments by 1 for each receipt within the BillPoint system.

•

This means that for each store the reference number may increment by a variable amount depending on the activity across the whole system.
