Before you begin accepting online debit (ATM) transactions, use the following procedure to set up the relevant options in Options Configuration. Additionally, if you use the General Ledger application, you will set up a G/L account and (optionally) set up automatic passoff for Debit Cards.
Clerks must have security bit 602 if they will be allowed to give cash back on debit transactions.
If you use the General Ledger application, set up a G/L account for Debit Cards in the Chart of Accounts window.
If you use Automatic Passoff to General Ledger, use the Set Up G/L Accounts window to assign the accounts to the corresponding Alternate Tender type.
Click the arrow to the right of the Subsystem box and select POS from the drop-down list.
Click the arrow to the right of the Options box and select E4W - Eagle for Windows from the drop-down list.
Press ENTER. A list of POS options displays in the grid.
Set up an alternate tender type to be used for debit cards, as follows:
Click on the first available "Alternate tender X description." For example, if you've already set up alternate tenders 1 through 4, click on "Alternate tender 5 description." Then click in the Current Value column.
Click on the arrow that displays. A dialog box displays.
Enter a description such as "Debit Card" in the Alt Tender X Description box, and click OK.
Click on the next option for the same alternate tender number, and repeat the process of clicking in the Current Value column, entering the requested information, and clicking OK. Continue until you have entered all the options for the alternate tender number you selected for debit cards.
IMPORTANT! In the "Alternate Tender X Type" field, you must select "Debit Card" from the list.
Set up three other debit card options, as follows:
Click on the option "Maximum amount cash back on debit card," and then click in the Current Value column.
Click on the arrow that displays. A dialog box displays.
Enter a maximum amount of cash back allowed, or enter 99999.99 to indicate no limit. Then click OK.
Click on the option "Default PinPad device to debit mode," and then click in the Current Value column.
Click on the arrow that displays. A dialog box displays.
Read the on-screen description of this option, click Yes or No accordingly, then click OK.
Click on the option "Default pinpad to swipe first," and then click in the Current Value column.
Click on the arrow that displays. A dialog box displays.
If you want customers to swipe their card first, select Yes. A "Yes" setup steers the customer to use the card as a debit rather than credit card. If you would rather have the traditional setup, where the customer selects debit or credit first, leave the default of No.
