Shift based progressive contract/client totals on ticket.
The system provides a ticket template field to allow the accumulative total for the current primary product for the current till shift, against either the contract if applicable or the client if no contract recorded against the ticket.
Reopen previous till shift
There may be cases were an operator has accidentally closed the current shift and potentially issued tickets under this. To allow this to be corrected there is a function available in Ticketing to perform the following:
- Re-open the previous till shift.
- Move any tickets issues against the current shift into the re-opened shift.
- Move any operator shifts recorded against the current shift into the re-opened shift.
- Prompt for authorisation to do so.
A new permission is available that allows the re-opening to be performed only by authorised users.
Time based product/client surcharge and discounts.
Mandalay CS allows a surcharge or discount to the price of a product based on date, time of day, duration, specific site product and specific clients.
