Bills

A bill is a document generated before payment and receipt generating. It contains the list of all menu items ordered by a client and informs the client about their total cost.

Bill is paid on the terminal using one of the available payment methods. After a bill is paid successfully, a receipt is generated.

Bills can only be created and edited within one business day. After closing the business day, all the bills created on that business day become read-only.

Bills are generated automatically on the terminal. In the Fast Food mode, the bill is generated when passing over to payment. In the Restaurant waiter and Club cashier modes — when sending a guest tab to payment.

Bills can be viewed, created, edited and deleted from the manager workplace before the guest tab is closed.

If discounts or markups were applied to orders, they are also counted when calculating the bill total.

Bills are saved in the system and can be printed for clients. Bill formats are used to generate their print layouts. A bill format contains a query that is applied to get the information for bill generation and a print layout used to print a bill. Bill formats are stored in the Bill formats directory. The bill format used on the terminal is defined by the printer connected to the terminal. Only one bill format can be specified for a printer.

In the Fast Food mode, bills cannot be printed. In the Restaurant waiter and Club cashier modes, the value assigned to the PrintPrecheck parameter in mode settings defines whether to print the bill or not.

Bills have different statuses at different stages of processing:

On the terminal, the bill is generated automatically when the order is submitted and the guest tab is sent for payment. On the manager's working place, the can be created manually from the bills viewer window or using the Generate bill of guest tab list or order list. The newly generated bill has the Not ready status. Bills with the status Not ready can be viewed, edited and deleted.

When the receipt is generated for the bill, the status of the bill changes to Ready. After that, the bill cannot be edited.

The bill has the status Ready until all receips based on that bill's specification are generated. After all receipts for that bill have been paid, the bill is asiigned the statust Paid.

Bills with statuses Ready and Paid are read-only.

On the terminal, the bill is generated using orders from one guest tab. If the guest tab is splitted into multiple guest tabs, each of these will have its own bill.

Menu items included in the bill can be paid with multiple receipts generated in different sales departments.

The list of all bills created on the terminals is stored in the Bills document list. Bill list can be generated by any business day, receipt, guest tab, client account or other parameters. Associated windows will open:
