Sales parameters for entering comment

No. 45035

The Comment group of fields was added to sales parameters in order to enable the user to enter comments on menu items included into an order. Т* allows the user to make changes to comments when editing menu items placed in an order. Т+ makes it possible to generate a request for entering comments when the menu item is added to an order.

The CommentVisible parameter determines whether the Comment field is visible on the POS terminal. This parameter has priority over sales parameters. If Тrue is selected, comments are always visible when added and when edited. If False is selected, comments are always invisible. In case MenuSaleProperties is set, the visibility of comments depends on settings made in sales parameters.
