Setting Up Ace Rewards Constants
(Ace Rewards users only)
Use Function HCC to enter the default settings the system uses when
processing Ace Rewards transactions at POS and transmitting Ace Rewards
information to Ace.
Note: You can also access the Ace Rewards constants
in Options Configuration by typing “Opt” in the Eagle Browser’s Launch
bar, selecting “MLC-Loyalty Constants” from the “Options” drop-down, and
then clicking Display. Select the appropriate settings for the options
that display (see step 2 below for more information about each option),
and click Change.
To set up Function HCC, do the following:
From Network Access at the Function prompt, type HCC
and press <Enter>.
The HCC screen displays.

Fill in all fields. Click any of the following
for a definition.
Vendor
CodeThis is the vendor code for Ace you set up in
Vendor Maintenance. Typically, it’s set up simply as "ACE."
Next
Cust. No.This is the next customer
number that will be used when a new customer is added to your system.
It must begin with an asterisk (*).
Next
House Cust No.This is the next customer
number that will be used when a new Ace Rewards customer is added to your
system, only if there are no more "*" accounts available (if
the Next Cust No. field has reached *99999).
If you don't want the system to resort to using non-cash account numbers
for Ace Rewards customers, leave this field blank. If the Next Cust No
field reaches *99999, the system will set this field back to *1, and use
that value as the potential new customer number. If it can't find an available
cash account number, the message "CAN NOT FIND UNUSED CUST # AFTER
500 TRIES. UPDATE HCC IN STORE n" will print on the Customer Transmission
Report (EFMC). If you use Eagle Alerts, an alert will also be generated.
Coupon
SKUThis is the Ace Rewards Certificate SKU you set
up in Inventory Maintenance. You must enter HHC in this field.
POS
Link WindowThis field determines when
the POS Link window displays during an Ace Rewards transaction: B
= Link Window at Transaction Start and End, E = Link Window at Trx End,
N = Link Window Never Appears at POS, S = Link Window at Trx Start,
or Y = Link Window on Demand Only.
Link
to Cash CustomerSet this field to Yes so
that Ace Rewards sales are linked to each individual customer's Ace Rewards
account.
Only set this field to N if you want to link Ace Rewards sales to your
default cash customer instead of to each individual customer’s account.
Coupons and other certificates will still be sent to the individual accounts.
Receive
Cust HotsheetSet this field to Y, so that
Ace Rewards customers are added (or changed, if necessary) when you receive
your hotsheets. Customer information is typically available on Mondays.
Press
<Change>.
Multistore: Repeat
steps 2 and 3 to set up Function HCC for each store.
Press
<End> to exit the screen.
On
Eagle, set option 8880 "Ace Rewards Web Coupon Enabled?"
to Y.
