Aloha - Rounding and Check # missing or doubles

[James919]

Hello,

How does Aloha 5.3 do rounding? I think it always rounds to nearest nickle (0,5) but sometimes I see check with $xx.99 - I don't know what is the reason to not to round this.

Second question: I can see same check numbers in one day - e.g. check no. 50009 is in the Cash and also in Visa report - or even three times - is there any reason for it?
Or it skips some checks so numbers are not continual (e.g. there is 50003 but I can't find 50002).

Thanks for info.

There is no auto rounding you have to set it to do that. I am not sure if it is legal though unless you round down in the customers favor. Checks should be sequential and based on the terminal is was generated on. Typically you should not have gaps within a sequence. I have never seen a check number duplicated within a day unless payments are split between tenders

Are you using Quick Service? You can set a range of check numbers to use. Once you exceed that range it will start back at the beginning.

Your "rounding" issue may be tax settings of inclusive and exclusive?

so what is then Rounding Benefit that we have on all Summary Reports? It is number in parentheses and a *. E.g. (4.32)*

When I have check with credit card payment where the sum of sub total(item) and tax is not exact (eg. $9.01) but it is rounded to (in this case) to $9.00.

Any idea?
