- The name in Arabic and English — this is what appears on the ticket and the receipt.
- Method: Percentage, Fixed Amount or Rate Per Unit.
- Basis: on the Subtotal, on the item price, or on the previous calculation.
- Rate: for example 12 (12%).
- Is Tax?: for the tax only.
- Adds to the bill (e.g. service charge)?: for the service charge and any other charge. Off means it is a discount.
- Show as a quick button at the till?: offered to cashiers in the discount window.
- Rounding Rule: such as Nearest Piaster.
A type is switched on and off with the switch at the start of its row. A switched-off type cannot be put on new tickets, but one already on a ticket keeps calculating correctly.
