MYOB RetailHospitality payment types are based upon a list kept separately in a file that is loaded during the software installation process. They are not derived from the list available within MYOB RetailManager (go to the Setup menu and choose Options then click Payment Types), so you may need to create payment types in both MYOB RetailManager and MYOB RetailHospitality. This support note shows you how.
Before you begin
It is recommended to backup the payments.txt file before making any modifications. The payments.txt file is located in the RetailHospitality installation folder. By default, this is C:\RetailH
You will also need to remove the Read-only attribute from the Payments.txt file in order to save changes made to the file. To do this, right-click the Payments.txt file and choose Properties, then deselect the Read-only attribute.
- Simultaneously press the Windows and E keys on your keyboard (the Windows key is between the Ctrl and Alt keys). The File Explorer window appears.
- Locate and open the Payments.txt file. By default, this will be in C:/RetailH folder.
- Double-click to open the Payments.txt file. Here's our example of this file opened using Notepad. This file lists all current payment types.
- Scroll to the bottom and add a new payment type. A single blank line must separate each payment type. The new payment type details must be entered using the same format as the existing payment types. A simple way to ensure the format is the same is to copy the Cash type details, paste them at the bottom of the file and modify the details as required.
Update the Type number, Name and any other details required. See the table below for a description on the information required for your new payment type.
[Type XX]
The payment id number used to uniquely identify each payment type.
Name=
The name of the payment type to appear within RetailHospitality.
Cashout=
Allow cashout? [ 0=No, 1=Yes ].
Enable=
Indicates availability status [ 0=inactive, 1=active ]. Inactive payment types will not appear in the available payment types list.
EPEnable=
Indicates use with EFT terminal. (Not used by RetailHospitality v2/v3)
Rounding=
Rounding amount in cents to the nearest to be applied.
Type=
Classifies the payment type. [ 0=Payment, 1=Not used, 2=Transaction ]. (Not used by RetailHospitality v2/v3)
Example
To create a payment type called Vouchers, add the following to the end of the payments.txt file:
[Type 09]
Name=Vouchers
Cashout=0
Enable=1
EPEnable=0
Rounding=0
Type=0
Payment types already created in RetailManager
The spelling of the payment type in RetailHospitality and RetailManager must match exactly, otherwise they will treated as separate payment types on the till balance, cashup and reports.
Save and close the Payments.txt file.
- Open the RetailHospitality Admin module and select Payment Types in the left pane. The new payment type appears in the list of Available Payment Types.
- Click to highlight the new payment type and add it to the Selected Payment Types list by clicking the
button. - Apply the changes.
The new payment type will now be available for payments and cashups.
