Behavior
Allow Bills to Be Forgiven/Cancelled – Select this check box to include payment types of FORGIVEN or CANCEL on the payment type list. If this property is not selected, the payment type list does not include payment types of FORGIVEN or CANCEL. This property is selected by default.

To use the wizard slip printing function, you must define receipt printer availability options by selecting the Preference menu, pointing to Peripherals, and selecting the Receipt Printer option.
If the Deletion of Items with Bills feature is enabled and an item associated with a bill has been deleted from the catalog, the item ID field for that item will not appear on receipts, even if it is configured to appear.
Payment types that open cash drawer
Use the Policy List Gadget to select payment type policies that will open the cash drawer when a user pays a bill of that payment type, if a cash drawer is configured. Alternatively, you can specify which payment type policies will not open the cash drawer.
If you have a cash drawer configured but do not have any payment type policies specified in the Payment Type field, the cash drawer will always open when a user makes a payment.

Note: If a bill is paid with funds from a user’s credit account, the default Credit Reason will be used to describe the credit transaction.
| • | Credit Reason – Specifies the credit reason to be used when a fine or bill is automatically paid from a credit account. A credit reason describes why the credit was issued.
