Overview

Reason Groups are a collection of Reasons used to describe the following 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. 

Note: Reasons must be created before the Reason Group.
