How to Guide - Vouchers

Top  Previous  Next

The software implements the following features to increase security and reduce data entry errors when using vouchers:

allocation of specific ranges of unique voucher serial numbers which are used for both selling and redemption of prepaid vouchers. see Voucher Register
use of a redemption code which is used to prevent allocation of incorrect voucher types and ticket prices to those pre-assigned for the matching serial numbers
use of barcodes for serial numbers on vouchers to speed data entry at time of sale and redemption (also reduces risk of incorrect serial numbers being manually entered).

 

The following steps are needed when configuring the software to use voucher serial numbers:

allocate a range of serial numbers for vouchers. A redemption code can also be included to ensure that a specific range of serial numbers can only be used for the matching voucher types
create vouchers with the Voucher # Required selected. This will then require that a serial number be entered for all vouchers sold of this type. If a redemption code was previously allocated for the serial number range in the voucher register then the redemption code must be the same for the sale to be completed.
create a ticket price that is to be used when redeeming the voucher. The Voucher # Required option must be selected. If a redemption code was allocated when the voucher was sold then the redemption code must be the same for the voucher to be redeemed.
