Latest update on Amicus POS Dynamic Payment Types

I am currently in the process of removing all the hard-coded payment types from Amicus point of sale and business management system (which is a mammoth task), and replacing them with Dynamic Payment types. This enhancement will allow users of Amicus POS software to dynamically create their own payments types based on a few simple rules (as follows):

1. Requires Customer
2. Uses Authorisation Code
3. Authorisation Code Label
4. Requires Tendered Amount
5. Change Threshold
6. Is Credit Based
7. Opens Cash Drawer On Completion
8. Specialised Actions
9. Uses Payment Terms

We will still be adding the standard types initially (when no other payment types exist). I.e. Cash, Cheque, Card, COD, Account, Finance, Direct Deposit, Gift Voucher, EFTPOS, as well as the standard module payment types (if the modules are present), Charge hotel, EBET, IGT.

This will be an excellent functionality enhancement for our clients with Different needs such as Restaurants, Hotels or Petrol Stations, who will wish to exclude certain payment types from the displayed list, or include custom generated payment types.

This new feature will of course be available for all our major Amicus POS licence types (Restaurant, Cafe, Hospitality, Supermarket, General Retail).

These features should be available in the 05.08 Release. If you have any questions, or would like to influence the design path of this feature, drop me a line.
