I have just purchased 2 dx 890 for use in our community social club, only needed 1 but the deal was for both, with a lot of trial and error I have managed to get the front screen layout to suit our needs, but I would like to set up an ullage plu to record beer loss through line cleaning/ barrell changing and wondered if someone could stear me through this process, I did read one of the posted articles using adjust tabs to give free shots and staff free splashes but wondered if theres another way.

Thanks

If you set up a new Media (payment type) called Ullage, you can set this so that you key in the products that have been wasted, broken, cleaned, etc then finalise the payment to Ullage, it will deduct from your stock but will not show up in your cash figures at the end of the day You may need to enable the Media so that shows in the Special Media (Final Payment) screen - MF1 bit F needs setting to NO

TIP: you can also set the media to be a Manager only function by setting the Media flag MF3 bit a to YES. Setting this requires the control key to be turned to the X position before the till will allow the transaction to be finalised.

If you are going to use this method and you are using the Z reports from the ECR for VAT, you should check that you aren't going to be over declaring you taxable takings -

This shouldn't be a problem if all of your sales items are VAT at standard rate (e.g. for a pub/bar) - but might be if you sell any mixed VAT (Zero/Standard or Exempt) items.

For example, your sales report may show
Pints of Beer 300 £900 (VAT @Standard Rate)
Takeaway Sandwich 100 £500 (VAT @Zero Rate)

Total Product Sales 400 £1400

Cash 350 £1300
ULLAGE/WASTAGE 50 £100



So you don't know where the Ullage/Wastage has come from (any VAT calculation on the report will be based on the Total Product sales - not the ~wasted~ part)

If you have a small product list, it is a much better idea to create a set of 'zero value' items or a 'zero price level' which can be used to record ullage/wastage items and report on them as discrete items whilst maintaining any VAT liability records.
