Aloha Equal Pay and COM

[asimeqi]

There is this feature in Aloha, called Equal Pay. In the payment screen you hit the Equal Pay key, you select the number 2 and the amount to pay is split in 2.
You can select one of the payments and pay cash etc. for it.
All is well.
Now suppose that you have your special mode of payment, processed by an outside program and transmitted to Aloha using the COM interface. The COM function is called ApplyPayment(). However that function does not let you specify the payment you intend to pay for. And if you just put the payment on check using ApplyPayment() it always goes to the first payment, no matter what was selected.
Any suggestion what can I do about this?

Equal pay is querky like that. If a server hits equal pay you can not undo it. I generally turn it off because it generates service calls that I don't have an answer for. Like yours. Use split check instead. Most customers that want to pay equally are fine if it is close enough.

Thanks Bo,
I probably will end up doing that but it would be good if there is a way to apply Equal Pay programmatically.
Can you tell me how to disable Equal Pay?
I am sure you know this but I found that one way to undo the Equal Pay is to split the check and move all the items in the second check. The first check will be closed automatically.

Normally you touch the "2nd equal payment" on the check screen then apply payment.
Ihave no problems using it.
maybe you have to
ApplyPayment(2)
ApplyPayment(3)
etc..
I don't know anything about com interface.
just a guess.
