Bar Tab Receipt

This page describes the Bar Tab Receipt form in the Restaurant module.

---

The Bar Tab Receipt form allows you to print Bar Tabs in batches.

The Bar Tab Receipt form will include Items in a Bar Tab that have been voided using the "Void Item" button. The removed line will be printed with "(VOIDED)" added to the Item Description as a prefix, and the added line with negative quantity will also be printed. This separates the Bar Tab Receipt form from the Bar Tab form, which will not include voided Items.

If the Bar Tab being printed has not been finished, it will printed with a "Test Printout" watermark. If you do not need this watermark, select the No Test printout option in the Optional Features setting in the System module. Finishing a Bar Tab will usually cause it to be printed automatically using this Bar Tab Receipt form with no watermark (the Bar Tab will not be printed using this form and instead will be printed on a fiscal printer if the Customer is one in which the Fiscal Invoices Only check box has been ticked).

The usual method of printing a Bar Tab using the Bar Tab Receipt form will be through the "Finish" button in the Bar Tab window, as just mentioned. The primary purpose of the Bar Tab Receipt form option is to allow you to specify the Form Template that will be used by this button. To do this, highlight 'Bar Tab Receipt' in the 'Forms' list and select 'Define Form' from the Operations menu. In the subsequent 'Form Definition' window, specify a Form Template using 'Paste Special' if necessary. The 'Form Definition' window is fully described here.

When designing the Form Template that will be used by the Bar Tab Kitchen Order form, the fields that you can use are the same as the ones you can use in the Form Template for the Bar Tab form. Please refer here for a list of the header fields and here for the row fields.
