Mode: Paste Special Payment Modes setting, Sales/Purchase Ledger; Specify here the Payment Mode that you would like to be used when you receive Gift Vouchers in payment, in the absence of a suitable Payment Mode elsewhere in the system.

Mode option below, incorrect payment windows (e.g. the 'Credit Card Payment' window) will not open, forcing the cashier to use the specified payment method. Note that because POS Buttons are fully user-definable, the warning cannot suggest which button should be used.
