Use Security Algorithm in El Salvador

(Maitre'D 2005, from Service Pack 4 and later versions of 2005)

You can generate a separate 8 digit correlative security number for each individual workstation that resets to 00000001 after it reaches 99999999, as required in El Salvador.

P.O.S. Control / View / Options / Security

Use Security Algorithm:

Enable this option to print on every guest's check a Security Algorithm number required for fiscal verification.

Note: The Generate Text File button is not used in El Salvador. Instead, this Correlative Security Number, as well as a Monthly Z Sequential number that increments by 1 each month, are stored in the POS Electronic Journal and Cumulative files.

To generate this separate correlative security number for each individual workstation, add the following configuration key and value in the [Miscellaneous] section of the Bo.ini file under the C:\Posera\MaitreD\Data directory:

IntegritySalvador=True

Note: When modifying the Bo.ini, first stop the Server through Server Control, then exit both the Server Control and P.O.S. Control modules, modify the Bo.ini Configuration Key and Value, and only then start the Server again before redoing workstation data.
