MICROS 3700 combo problem

[marekgwozdz]

I want to sell set of items on one buton (food,beverage.. ).

I have used "combo meals", but the items has different VAT tax 8 and 23.
Combo takes only one VAT tax for all, and not using the VAT taxes from items.

Is there any other way to create, a package of few items on one buton? Or way to resolve vat issue?

I haven't tried this myself, but how about this - In Menu Items, set the price of the combo meal menu item to $0.00. In the Combo Group setup, set a price for each item within the combo groups that will be part of the combo so that the combined price of the individual items adds up to the combo price.

I'm assuming that the VAT will then be calculated based on the combo main & side's menu item class but I suggest you verify this in the micros.dtl table.

How you determine the price split between the items, I have no idea. You may want to check with an accountant as to whether you can legitimately reduce your VAT liability by setting the 8% VAT item at full price in the combo group and leaving the 23% VAT items at a lower price to add up to the combo meal price.

I think a simple solution would be to use macros. Simply create a macro that will call the individual menu items and then assign that to the button. If you get a discount for using a combo (i.e. buying a burger, fries and a coke saves a $1) then create a menu item with a negative price that will be called as well. This has the added benefit of still ringing in all the proper items, so inventory isn't affected. If you want to track how many combos are being ordered, you can also include a zero dollar menu item created for each combo so as to tag each transaction.
