FAQs
Where can I add the SC/PWD ID number for recording purposes?
You can add it as an item note or as a transaction note.
How is service charge calculated in relation to the SC/PWD discount?
The service charge is not discounted even with the SC/PWD applied. This is because service charge is computed based on the following formula:
(Total amount of all original prices, before any discount, without VAT value * service charge ratio %)
In the extreme case, if the total discount applied is 100%, there will still be service fee charged to the transaction.
Other Limitations
Invoice Management
When creating an invoice in Qashier HQ, SC/PWD discount cannot be set. Invoices should be created from the POS to apply the SC/PWD discount.Combos
Combos does not have item-level discount for SC/PWD.
Workaround: Create a separate transaction containing the items of the combos → Edit the price of the total bill → Apply bill level discount to apply SC/PWD discount
