Automatic Increase of Zero-Dollar Authorizations to Check Total

InfoGenesis POS has been enhanced to support automatic increase of zero-dollar authorizations to the check total.

A new terminal option, Terminal Option 1419 (Increase Zero Authorization to Check Balance) has been introduced to support this.

• When this terminal option is enabled, zero-dollar authorizations available in the check are automatically increased to the check total when tendered or accepted. If there are multiple authorizations available in the check, and the zero-dollar authorization is tendered or accepted, it is still increased to the check total, and the other existing authorizations are not considered.

• When this terminal option is disabled, users must manually increase the zero-dollar authorization amount before tendering the check or accepting the authorization.

When Terminal Option 305 (Remove non-critical confirmation prompts) is enabled, the Tender Existing Authorizations prompt is not displayed while tendering or accepting the zero-dollar authorization. If disabled, the Tender Existing Authorizations appears when the user tries to tender or accept the zero-dollar authorization. In this case, the user can select Accept or Increase.

If Terminal Option 1419 (Increase Zero Authorization to Check Balance) is enabled, the zero-dollar auth is automatically increased when Accept is selected too, and there is no need to increase the authorization amount manually. 

For the Increase button to appear in the Tender Existing Authorizations prompt, Terminal Option 1278 (Enable Authorization Fraud Prevention Feature) must be enabled.
