We will use a new tax band to track the items amounts that can be included in the discount. 

• Sign on as a manager/administrator.
• Tap the ‘Settings’ tab and then tap ‘Reg Settings’.
• Tap on the ‘Feature’ tab.
• Tap on ‘Tax Master’.
• From here, tap on the first available unused tax band. In many cases this will be the third record in the list (VAT 3). But if this has been used then use ‘VAT 4’.
• Tap on the band on the left and then the right hand side will populate with the settings we are going to change. Tap on the ‘TAX NAME’ field and type in a name such as ‘EOHO’.
• Tap on the ‘Taxable Amount Name’ and type in ‘EOHO TOTAL’.
• Tap on ‘Tax Amount Name’ and enter ‘EOHO AMOUNT’.
• Ensure the ‘Tax Calculation’ field is set to ‘Add in(VAT)’ as pictured.
• Set the Tax Rate to 0%.
• Set the Rounding to ‘Round off’.
• Tap ‘Save’ and ‘Close’.

We will now apply the new band to all products on the system that are eligible for a the EOHO discount scheme. To make this process as quickly as possible, we can make this change in batches instead of editing each product individually.

1. From the last step in the previous section, tap on the ‘item’ tab and then tap ‘item settings’.
2. You will see a magnifying glass icon at the top left of the screen. Tap this and then tap ‘search with condition’.
3. Tap on ‘department’ twice.
4. Select a department dwhich you would like the discount to apply to, then tap on ‘OK’. The products that are listed on the left of the screen are filtered down by the department you just selected.
5. Tap on ‘Batch’. Scroll down to ‘Tax Code 2’ and tap this field. Tap on ‘EOHO AMOUNT’ (see picture).
6. Tap on ‘Save’ and then tap ‘Save’ again on the ‘confirm setting’ prompt.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 above until you have included all EOHO discountable products in the newly created tax band. When done, tap ‘close’, ‘close’ again and then ‘OK’ when prompted to restart the till. 

We will now create an amount minus (£-) discount button so that we can apply the EOHO discount to the amount that will be highlighted by the new EOHO tax band.

• Sign on as a manager/administrator and tap ‘settings’ and ‘reg settings.
• Tap the ‘Key’ tab and then ‘Function Key’.
• Tap ‘Location’ and scroll down until you find the ‘Finalise’ screen. Tap one of the red highlighted areas where there is a spare key on the till. You may wish to note down where there is a spare slot before beginning this process. In the example (from a V-R200 screen which is smaller than the V-T7000), the top most section is generally where you will find a spare key do add this discount button.
• When you tap the section, a popup will appear where you can select a key slot to edit.

• In this instance, we are going to select ‘CHECK3’ as this is simply an unused button. On your system, you may just have a few blank slots that you can tap, as these will be spare and available to use. Take care not to overwrite an existing function key that you currently use.

• In the next screen, tap on the ‘Func Code’ field on the right hand side (second record down). Scroll down the list that pops up until you find the function code 1027 which is named “TTL-“. Tap this and then tap ‘OK’.
• Tap on the ‘descriptor’ field and type in ‘EOHO DISCOUNT’ Tap ‘OK’.
• Tap ‘Service Charge’ and tap ‘No’. Now tap ‘Save’.
• Tap ‘close’, ‘close’ and return to registration mode.

• Register (sell) some items that are included in the discount scheme (plus some excluded ones if you wish). Make sure you save these items to a table. Print the bill for the table.
• The ‘EOHO TOTAL’ on the bill should show the total amount of eligible discountable goods. It is now necessary to review the number of diners and apply the discount on the finalise screen. If you use the ‘EOHO Discount’ key then your reports will show the number of EOHO discounts that you have applied. Simply tap ‘EOHO Discount’ on the finalise screen and enter the discount amount to be applied (no decimal point).

• To stop showing the EOHO calculation, simply revisit step one of this guide and modify the EOHO Tax band so that the ‘Tax Calculation’ field is set to ‘non’.
• Once changed and saved you will be prompted to restart the cash register application.
