How to create a surcharge on Public Holidays for POS Products

Navigate to FINANCES -> FEES

• Select the location that requires the fee

• Click on the "New Fee" button and fill in the boxes as follows:

• Set NAME to "Public Holiday Surcharge" or another relevant name, as it will appear on the receipt if requested by the customer

• Set TYPE  to Surcharge (surcharge will only apply to POS Products sold at a POS Facility)

• Set AMOUNT TYPE to Percent

• Set AMOUNT to the surcharge percentage

• Set your TAX CATEGORY to GST or GST Exempt as required

• Set GL ACCOUNT CODE if required

• Set STOP SELL to No, change it to Yes if you want to disable the Sunday Surcharge

• Set REMOVABLE to No (If REMOVABLE is changed to YES, the POS Operator will be able to remove the surcharge)

• Set REQUIRE SUPERVISOR PIN to No. This setting has no effect unless REMOVABLE is set to Yes. At that point, change it to Yes to require a supervisor's approval for removing the surcharge from the transaction

• Leave EVENTS, FACILITIES, POS FACILITIES, BOOKING SOURCES, PAYMENT METHODS and PRODUCT TYPES blank

• Scroll down to Fee Dates

• Click on the plus sign button to add public holiday dates

• Select the start and end date

• For a single-day public holiday, click the same date twice

• Keep pressing the plus sign button each time you want to add another public holiday

• Press the  Save button

• The Public Holiday Surcharge is now activated and will automatically apply at POS

NOTE: The surcharge will not apply to sales made ONLINE or in ADMIN. This is because the FEE DATES specified determine when the surcharge is applied. If a future booking is made on a date with an applied surcharge, it may lead to incorrect charges.
