To accept payment for pre-pay items during check-in:

screen. The Point Of Sale (POS) screen appears. Notice that there are
4 tabs in the Line Item area:

• Coupons
• Discounts
• Payouts (Payouts are revenue items that are always treated as a
negative amount and are non-taxable. Payout expenses usually
come from the cash drawer.)
You can click on the tab to change to the one you want to use—in this
case, the Items tab.
To modify a line item after you have
added it, simply double-click the
item with your mouse, make your
changes as necessary on the Modify
Line Item box, then click OK or
press Enter.

screen.
