Sales
The Pass Info dialog requires the verification code (PIN) to be entered if the IHC card being sold is configured to require a PIN.
• The operator can manually enter the swipe number and if the system is online, Sales auto-populates the corresponding four digit verification code from the server data provided the swipe number/PIN data already resides in the assignno table.
• The operator can manually enter the card number and the verification code (PIN) if the system is offline. In this situation the operator is not able to leave the Pass Swipe tab without entering a PIN if the corresponding pass DCI requires it. Also, this is the only situation currently in which the operator can enter a verification code that is different from the one linked to the swipe number in the assignno table. In this case the entered PIN is written into the gst_pass record and that is the one used for purchases.
• If the operator manually assigns a number from a pre-encoded card (the Assign number from basket box is not checked and the Require Verification Code (PIN) for purchases is not checked), the swipe number gets assigned as the one entered and no PIN is required.
• If an operator has security to see the full sixteen digit swipe number on the Modify Pass dialog in Sales, then he/she can also view the verification code (PIN).
The Finalize dialog also prompts the operator to enter a PIN if the DebitWare card used to pay requires a verification code. When an In-House Cards card is used for payment, Sales checks to see if the DebitWare pass DCI requires a PIN and if the gst_pass record has a verification code. If both of these conditions are true, Sales pops up a dialog box for the operator to enter the PIN if the swipe number was entered manually by the operator. If the In-House Cards item is swiped at the salespoint, then entry of the PIN is not required.
