Discounts Within Total Control Premier.

To setup discounts within Total Control Premier, go to the “GPoS Specifics” tab and select “Discounts”. Within this applet you will see the columns that make-up the discounts.

Start by either adding or editing a discount, found at the top of the screen.

When adding a new discount it will automatically generate a code for it, this can’t be changed.

The HALO is used when you want to allow a ‘price override’ of your discount, setting this to the maximum value you will allow the price to be discounted to, or set it to ‘-1’ to be an open-ended discount.

Limit per transaction is how many times will you allow the discount to be used in one transaction, by default this is set to “0” with no limit.

Manager required is useful if you want to only allow clerks with manager authority to use the discount, otherwise a standard clerk will be prompted for a manager logon.

PLU flag bits 01-32; are used for linking discounts to certain products, see below for further information.

The Preset is used for what default amount you would like to be discounted, either as a percentage off or amount off.

The Print message is the message which appears every time you press the discount button. - NOT CURRENTLY IMPLIMENTED 

Requires Signature; true or false, if set to true will allow a receipt for a signature to be printed each time that discount is applied.

Type refers to what type if discount will be applied.

- Item %; this discounts each individual item when pressed, to the % amount in your preset or override.

- Subtotal %; this discounts the whole transaction to the % amount of your preset or override.

- Item Amount; this discounts each item to the amount in pence in your preset or override.

- Subtotal Amount: this discounts the subtotal to the amount in your preset or override.

- Item % linked; this discounts like the ‘item %’ but only works against the products which match the PLU flag bit number.

- Subtotal % linked; this discounts like the subtotal amount but only discounts the subtotal % of all the products which match the flag bit number.

- Item Amount Linked; this discounts like the ‘amount’ but is only against the products linked by the PLU flag bit.

- Subtotal Amount Linked; this discount is like the ‘subtotal amount’ but only triggers against products linked by the PLU flag bit.

The key link should either be set to “create a new key” or link to itself as it requires its own links to then form a link within GPOS.

The promotion can be used for links to other promotions within your database; these including multibuys.

To get the discount to work on the till after the setup, you must add it to the touchscreen layout and then communicate the updates to the tills.

**Please Note you must put a product through the till first before attempting to trigger a discount**
