Number Series - Gift Receipts

This page describes the Number Series - Gift Receipts setting in the Point of Sales module.

---

Whenever you enter a new Gift Receipt, it will be given a unique identifying number based on a sequential number series.

You can have more than one sequential number series running at the same time, or at different times. For example, you may want to use different sequences to represent different departments, or you may want to use different sequences to represent different fiscal or calendar years.

The Number Series - Gift Receipts setting allows you to take advantage of this feature. Here you can define the number sequences that you would like to use with Gift Receipts.

To open the Number Series - Gift Receipts setting, ensure you are in the Point of Sales module and double-click (Windows/macOS) or tap (iOS/Android) 'Number Series - Gift Receipts' in the 'Settings' list. The following window will appear:

Enter each new Number Series on the first blank line. The N/L field common to all Number Series settings is not used with Gift Receipts.

When the setting is complete, click the [Save] button (Windows/macOS) or tap √ (iOS/Android) in the Button Bar to save the changes. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box (Windows/macOS) or tap < (iOS/Android).

When you create a Gift Receipt (which you can only do using a "Gift Receipt" button in the POS Invoice window), the next number in the first valid Number Series entered to this setting will be used as a default. There will be no opportunity to change the default number in these records, so a typical use for this setting will be to create separate number sequences for each year.

If you leave the Number Series - Gift Receipts setting empty, Gift Receipt Numbers will all be taken from the same sequence, starting at 1 and continuing consecutively.

If you have any tills that use live-sync connections to the server, you must not leave the Number Series - Gift Receipts setting empty. You must also use the Synchronised Number Series setting to define separate number sequences for each live-sync till, before connecting any of those tills to the server. Please refer here for details.
