Cancel / Re-Open Check

(Maitre'D 2005, from Service Pack 2 and later versions of Maitre'D)
It can happen that a check previously closed needs to be canceled or modified. The Cancel / Re-Open Check function allows the manager to see a list of all closed checks with their number and value. Once a check has been selected, the system modifies its payment to Cash, creates a negative check equivalent to the original check and closes it to Cash as well, and created a third order with the original items, ready to be modified.
When using the Manager Menu functions, you can touch the Cancel/Reopen Check button.
You can choose a particular employee, or select ALL.
All closed checks are displayed, with their number and value. Touch the check to modify.
Touch OK.

You end up with a copy of the original order, ready to be modified.

Enabled
Note: The Cancel Check function still creates a negative check equivalent to the original check, and prompts for the media type for the negative check, because some payments do not accept negative amounts, but does not recreate a third check. The Re-open Check function that automatically closes the second negative check to Cash, and recreates a third check equivalent to the original one is no longer supported in V8.
