Vending Tab
Stock Levels
These lines match up with the disbursement extensions of the disbursement associated with this
terminal setup type. This is used to keep track of how much stock is in a vending device and trigger
alarms when stock reaches a low level. This is not currently supported in the VN12 CAD.
Disbursement Configuration
The disbursements contain information about what the terminal is charging for, including pricing
information, price code multipliers, (How much a person is charged based upon who they are are /
what their price code is), and quantity break tables.
General Tab
Number
A mandatory key field used to reference the disbursement. Even though the field is called ‘Number’
this is an alpha numeric field of up to 20 characters.
Name
Description of the disbursement. For reporting purposes it’s best to standardise this name field. For
instance, if for some reason you have three photocopier disbursements, (B&W High Price, B&W
Low Price and Colour), they will all have different Disbursement Numbers, however you can call
them all ‘Photocopies’ in the Disbursement Name field for grouping purposes in the reports.
Variable Type Count
Configures how Supervisor reacts to various input quantities such as photocopier page counts (as
opposed to timed quantities such as how long a faxed document takes to be transmitted). There are
four options if this is selected:
1) Unused - This option is used if the Disbursement does not record count pulses, page amounts
etc. This would be the case for disbursements that charge for time usage such as for Telephone
Control. In this case, Variable Type Timed will probably be used instead.
2) Count - When set to Count the disbursement is used to record physical count pulses, print pages
or possibly cards dispensed from an Autoloader. A disbursement set to Count uses the Variable
Rate to charge per count received. Disbursements set to Count would normally be used on
Photocopiers.
3) Prompted - Prompted allows a user to type in the number of items used at a Terminal. A
disbursement set to Prompted uses the Variable Rate to charge per count item entered. An
example of this would be a stationery shop having a Disbursement to charge for postage, binding,
and other stationery items.
4) Fax Pages - Disbursements set to count Fax Pages will apply the price per page amount for each
fax page sent. The price per page amount is configured in the Fax / Telephone database.
Limit Run count
This option indicates to the system that you would like to Limit the session calling this Disbursement
to a particular number of Count events. There are three options:
1) No - Used if Primary or Secondary Accounts are not limited on how many counts can be done
in a session.
2) All - Used to limit the count amount on any session regardless of which Primary or Secondary
Account is validated.
3) Selected - Used when you want selected Primary or Secondary Account Records to be limited.
Any Primary or Secondary Records that have the Limit Run Length field set to YES will then be
restricted in how many counts they can do in a session. This would be used in a situation where
