Voucher Register

The voucher register provides a centralised method of tracking pre-printed and automatically numbered vouchers that have been allocated to each site. The history of these vouchers can then be tracked by such means as:

where and when the voucher was sold,

what type of voucher was allocated,

when and where the voucher was redeemed,

what type of ticket the voucher was redeemed as.

To create a new entry, press [New] and enter the details in the appropriate fields.  To change the details of an existing entry, select the item from the list and press [Edit].  Make any required changes and press [Save], or [Undo] to change cancel any changes.

To remove an existing voucher sequence, select the item from the list and press [Delete].

Start Seq #

The first number in the voucher sequence. This must be greater than the End Seq # of the last assigned sequence.

for example:

1000 - 1999

2000 - 2999

3000 - 3999

Note:

All vouchers that are automatically numbered at time of sale will have the same Start and End Seq numbers. These numbers will always start with your 4 digit site # and end with a checksum number to verify the integrity of the number.

End Seq #

This is the last number in the voucher sequence. The number must be less than the next Start Seq #.

Site #

Each unique sequence must be assigned to one site only, this is the only site that will be allowed to sell any vouchers that are assigned to the sequence. Once sold any voucher sequence number can then be redeemed at any site provided that the range was assigned to all circuits and all sites.

Redemption Code

If a redemption code has been entered then only voucher types with the same redemption code will be allowable when selling the voucher. Leave this blank if no verification of the voucher type is required at the time of purchase. See also: Setup Voucher Redemption Codes

Auto-Created

This indicates if the voucher number was automatically created at sale time. (ie. not pre-printed)

Issued

The date when this voucher sequence was created.

Available

Determines if this item will be available for selection.

How to disable a voucher number

For example to disable one voucher 2500 in the above example we need to do the following:

change 2000 - 2999 to 2000 - 2499

create a new sequence 2500 - 2500

mark the new Sequence as not available

create a new sequence 2501 - 2999

then re-export the cinema export to update the sites

Voucher Sub-ranges

Sub-ranges of sequence numbers within other sequences are not supported. What this means is that you can not assign sequence within a pre-existing sequence.

for example:

1000 - 1999

2000 - 2999

2200 - 2500   <<<--- This is a sub-range

4000 - 3999

This will effectively disable the voucher sequence 2501 - 2999. Sequence numbers are always located by finding the last nearest Start Seq # which is less than the sequence number and then searching until the associated End Seq #.
