Agilysys InfoGenesis POS 12.3.7.6 Features
Restrict Tips for Credit Card Tenders
InfoGenesis POS has been enhanced to restrict tips for credit card tenders. Terminal Option
1338 (Restricting tip payment through credit card) has been added to support this
enhancement. When this terminal option is enabled, the check is tendered directly without any
tip prompt in both terminal and the payment device. This functionality is applicable to only credit
card payment workflows initiated by CC Payment and CC Auth functions.
When a tip is added to the check, and if the user performs CC tender, the following message
appears: Payment cannot be processed. Tip cannot be paid using Credit Card tender.
$(Amount) will be processed for payment. Users can either select Proceed to tender only the
check amount, excluding the tip, using the credit card or select Cancel. Also, if the tender
amount is entered through the keypad in the POS terminal, the entered value is compared with
the check total. The lowest value among them is considered for the CC tender.
Some of the payment devices display the tip prompt by default. So, when the guest uses the
credit card to tender the payment and includes tip via payment device, the authorized amount is
refunded to the credit card with the following message: Refund Initiated. Transaction cannot be
processed as Tip payment is not supported. Guests can either proceed with different tenders or
use the credit card tender to tender only the check amount without providing any tip from the
payment device. For payment devices gateways that do not support refunds, Terminal Option
1268 (Use credit instead of refunds) must be enabled, which allows crediting the guest's card
with the appropriate funds.
The following table shows the tip prompt’s behavior in the POS terminal and payment device
when considering related terminal options:

Support Restrict Auth for Reopened Checks Based on

Tenders
InfoGenesis POS has been enhanced to restrict authorization on a reopened check for all
tenders. A new checkbox, Disable Auth to Reopened Check, has been added in the Tender
form of Universal Desktop. When this checkbox is enabled for a particular tender, the
corresponding tender does not appear in the reopened check, thereby making the authorization
not supported. Terminal Option 415 (Display tenders on a reopened check) must be enabled to
support this.

POS Terminal Sign On Screen Updates

The Sign On screen in the POS terminal has been enhanced to display the profit center and
store name in two rows, one below the other.

Earlier, the profit center and store names were displayed in the same row with a separator in
between. With this enhancement, the profit center and store names are displayed in different
rows. This way, it is easier for the user to view the profit center and store names in case they
are large as opposed to having them in a single field.

ellipsis.

MM Hayes Food Service Loyalty Updates

result, when the user configures this tender, they must enter MMHayes in the card code
field.
▪ When Terminal Option 394 (Display loyalty account balances on the receipt) is disabled,
the accrual and reverse accrual events appear in the Synchronization screen in the POS
terminal. When this terminal option is enabled, the accruals are posted in real-time.
▪ The guest details mapped to a check when loyalty tenders are applied on it are retained
even after the tender is voided. If the check is combined with another check after the
tender is voided, the guest details are removed from the check.

Allow Employees to Transfer Gratuity to their Payroll

Account
InfoGenesis POS has been enhanced to allow employees to perform gratuity transfer and
payout during shift reset. Earlier these functionalities were supported for tip only during shift
reset. With this enhancement, employees can transfer their gratuity to another employee or
withdraw the gratuity earned per shift partially or fully while performing shift reset.
The following terminal options must be enabled to support this functionality:
▪ Terminal Option 1305 (Enable gratuity pay-out in Terminal Shift Reset).
▪ Terminal Option 210 (Shift Reset: Automatically prompt for tip transfer and tip payout)
▪ Terminal Option 212 (Automatic Tip Payout on Shift Reset)
If the Terminal Option 1305 (Enable gratuity pay-out in Terminal Shift Reset) is disabled or the
Allow Payout at Terminal checkbox in the Gratuity form is not selected, the gratuity amount
cannot be transferred to the payroll account. Instead, gratuity or service charge accumulates
along with the other tips to be paid out in cash at the terminal.
When Terminal Option 1305 (Enable gratuity pay-out in Terminal Shift Reset) is enabled, the
Employee screen in the POS terminal displays gratuity as well, in addition to the tip. The Tip
Transfer and Tip Payout functions in this screen are used to perform gratuity transfer and
payout as well.

If the gratuity or tip is withdrawn partially, the remaining amount is transferred to the employee’s
payroll account, and it is paid as a part of their paycheck. The IRS Tips and Gratuity report in

Updated Documentation: Using InfoGenesis POS 12.3.7

Smart Cook Support

InfoGenesis POS has been enhanced to support the smart cook process in addition to the
default json cook process. To facilitate this, the Smart Cook option in the Enterprise form in
the Universal Desktop must be enabled.,

When the Smart Cook option is enabled, the SmartCook.exe program is triggered, and the
smart cook files are read by the POS terminal alongside the usual. json cook files. The JSON
Cook and LSR Cook options are enabled by default. If the Smart Cook option is not enabled,
the usual Json cook process happens instead of smart cook.

Smart Download Support

When launching the POS terminal, the configuration files from the server are downloaded as a
.zip file by default. If there is a huge amount of configuration files such as image files with large
resolution, there is a possibility of the .zip file going corrupt and the configuration files getting
missed resulting in an incomplete download.
In such cases, a message, Unable to download configuration appears when launching the POS
terminal or when reloading configuration in the POS terminal.
To overcome this, a new option, Enable Smart Download has been added to the
Settings section of the Settings.ini file (Profiler → POS Terminal → Files) in Universal
Desktop.
▪ When set to true, the configuration files are downloaded as individual files instead of a
single compressed file. This process may take longer, but all the configuration files are
downloaded successfully. This is useful in scenarios where a huge amount of
configuration files must be downloaded. In such cases, it helps if the files are downloaded
individually.

October 10, 2023 | Copyright © 2023 by Agilysys NV, LLC. All rights reserved | Scope: Customer Page 82
 Agilysys InfoGenesis POS Terminal 12.3.7.8 | Release Notes

▪ When this option is set to false, the configuration files are downloaded as a .zip file, and
there are chances that some of the files may be missing, and the Unable to download
configuration message appears when trying to launch the terminal. This is the default
setting.

Enhancement to Override JSON Cook

A new option, Smart Cook Overrides Json has been added in the Enterprise form in the
Universal Desktop.

This option is automatically enabled when the Smart Cook option is enabled. When enabled,
the smart cook process overrides the json cook process. If not, the smart cook process happens
alongside the json cook process as the Json Cook option is always enabled by default. The
user can enable or disable this option as required. However, it is mandatory that the Smart
Cook option must be enabled for this feature.

When downgrading from the POS terminal 12.3.7 to 12.3.6 version, users must prepare the
terminal data after disabling the Smart Cook checkbox and enable the Json Cook
checkbox. This prevents the POS terminal from crashing during downgrading.

Earlier, all items were displayed in the search result, irrespective of the terminal group
configurations. This terminal option is disabled by default.

Item Countdown Configuration in the POS Terminal

InfoGenesis POS has been enhanced to support item countdown configuration in the terminal.
Earlier, users could configure the item countdown functionality only in the Universal Desktop

groups, and set the on-hand quantity, warning, and cutoff limits for items in the terminal as well.
The quantity and limits set for items in the terminal override the values configured in the Item
Countdown form in the Universal Desktop. The Countdown Groups and Countdown Items
functions have been added to facilitate this. Terminal Option 290 (Enable Item Countdown)
must be enabled to support this feature. This functionality is not supported in portrait mode and

represents the profit center that is configured in the Item Countdown Group (291) drop-down
list in the Terminal form appears with a green tick symbol. The green tick symbol
indicates that the countdown group is the default choice.
