Aloha POS - Valid ID List

[hobobob]

Anyone know where the file would need to be located for the Valid ID List option under the payment tender identification setup. Also what format does it need to be in?

Thanks for the help

Nobody knows this one? It isn't anywhere in the docs and I'd prefer not to get dinged $150 to answer something that should be so simple.

The ALOHA® application software uses VAL.DBF to verify tender identification numbers against a list of
valid or invalid numbers.
You must enable tender validation for each tender in the Aloha application software Back-of-House (BOH) and manually enter valid or invalid ID numbers in VAL.DBF.


Besides enabling the ID prompt and setting the minimum and maximum number of characters, tender validation uses the following options in each tender's identification properties in BOH tender maintenance:

Numeric – Enables only numeric ID data. Clear this box to enable alphanumeric ID characters.

Validate – Validates the ID entered in the order entry screen against a user-defined list of IDs in
VAL.DBF.

Valid – Indicates whether the user-defined IDs in VAL.DBF are valid IDs or invalid IDs.
Tenders with 'House Account' enabled will not reference the information in VAL.DBF.
Editing VAL.DBF
Edit VAL.DBF with a compatible database-editing application and append the valid or invalid IDs.

VAL.DBF uses the following fields:

Field, Type, Length, Description
TENDERID, Numeric, 10, The tender ID (from TDR.DBF)
IDENT, Character, 20, The valid/invalid ID number
OWNERID, Numeric, 5, Used by CDM


If a valid or invalid ID applies to multiple tenders, separate entries must be made for each tender.
The IDENT field supports alphanumeric characters.
The IDENT field only supports entire ID numbers. ID strings are not supported. For example, entering
'1234' only validates or invalidates '1234', not '012345', '11234' and so on.
