Initial aspects

Add items and prices

Open Prices window in Admin, click on Prices toolbutton

In order to make modifications to this window you must have supervisor privileges.

Times: Configure one time for each type of time rental that you should cash, for example Office time rental and Internet time rental, preferentially use different computers for each type of time rental.

Items: For each additional item to cash, like color printings or dvd's.

In order to add an item use Add, then Modify. Don't add more than one item with the same name

You may add taxes too

In the bottom of the data tree add a tax and modify it to set its percentage.

Then on the item or time under taxes and add this tax by selecting it, use included or not depending if the price calculation is already or not considering the tax.

Add and Id for each time or article for its identification in the ticket and reports.

Prices configuration.

The configuration is a sum of all quantities in the following ways.

For example if some time costs 15 min $1.5, an hour $5, 2 hours $9.5 and $4 any additional hour, configure:

Minimal of 15 min = $.1 by minute

From 16 to 60: $(5-1.5 of 15 mins already cashed=3.5) for 45 minutes = $0.077777 per minute

From 61 min to 120: $(9.5-5=4.5) for 60 min = $0.075 p/m

From 121 min to more: $4 for 60 min = $0.066666 p/m



So, in this case, client that uses 70 min, pays from 61 to 70= .075, from 16 to 60 0.077777, from 1 to 15 0.1

10 min * $0.075

45 min * $0.0777

15 min * $0.1

Total = $5.75

It is logic to observe that the reason quantity/price should decrement price if quantity is incremented.

Add quantities then in the following way

Use at least 5 decimals

Quantity

Price

15

0.1

16

0.077777

61

0.075

121

0.07

You should note that the price is rounded, it doesn't matter, inside the calculation is based on the prince you really entered.

Another way to use prices is to use the -1 in the quantity level, this is the final quantity and then recurrence of calculation will occur, for example, if you wish to cash $0.25 for every 5 minutes and 10 minutes for minimal use:

Quantity

Price

10

.05

15

.05

-1

0

For $.5 / 15 min, $.9 / 30 min y $1.6 / 1 hr, with 5 min minimal:

Quantity

Precio

5

0.0333333

16

0.0266666

31

0.0233333

60

0.0233333

-1

0

In this example if 63 min are used, last 3 mins cost the lower cost (0.033333)

On case of times, if one session uses less time than minimum time will be automatically incremented to that minimum, each minute costs after 30 sec.
