Client accounts panel in the Regular customer window

The Client accounts panel is used to manage the list of accounts used by the regular customer.

The accounts contain the client's cash funds or the non-cash resources he/she can use to pay for goods and services in this establishment or in other network establishments. The funds and resources can be deducted from the account automatically after running the client authorisation and payment authorisation. Alternatively, you can add them to the client account or deduct them from the account manually using account operations. The data grid columns contain data about accounts of various types that have been opened for the regular customer.

Account specification data grid columns:

  • Account type denotes the regular customer account type.

  • Account balance is the remaining balance on the account.

  • Minimum balance is the minimum balance designated for a regular customer account.

  • Add (Ins) – adds a new account to the regular customer accounts specification.

  • Edit (F2) – edits attributes of regular customer accounts.

  • Delete (Del) – permanently deletes regular customer accounts from the specification.

  • Account operations – opens a window to view operations on selected regular customer accounts.

  • Print (Ctrl+P) – generates print layouts.

  • Summary functions – menu with the commands to manage the summary functions of the data grid.

  • Additional functions – menu with the commands to operate the data grid.

To add a new regular customer account, use the New regular customer account entry window. Attributes of selected specification elements can be altered using the Regular customer account and Regular customer accounts editor windows.

When you delete regular customer accounts from the specification, a confirm permanent deletion prompt appears.
