Overview
Reasons are created to keep track of actions processed within Activate. Reasons are used to describe and audit the following Activate POS functions:
- Refunds
- POS Price Changes
- Cash Drawer Open / No Sale
- Clearing the Cart
- Manual Reduction (item or cart level)
- Tax Exemption
- Cancel Check
- Cash Action Paid In
- Cash Action Paid Out
Reason Groups are used to assign Reasons at the Vendor Role level.
An example group would be Refund/Void with the Reasons someone would be voiding an order (Damaged Item, Incorrect Size, Guest Satisfaction, etc.). The cashier must select a reason when processing the return and it will be reported with the refund details.
