02/14/01 Version 6.06

    1. Combine checks routine was restyled to allow for the following changes:

      1. If the application crashes in the middle of a combine checks operation, checks will no longer be lost.
      2. The user will be informed if they try to create a check of more than 400 items and the operation will be cancelled.
      3. All checks retrievable by the logged on employee can be combined, not just checks for the same server.
      4. The current retrieved check, as of when the Combine Checks button is pushed, is considered the master check.  All checks selected during the combine checks operation will have their menu items and cover counts pulled over the master check. A Void Transaction command will be used on the selected checks.
      5. The Combine Checks routine will not include a check that contains a media.

  2.  Checks voided during the Combine Checks routine will have the following Control Information available            when viewing Closed Checks in Manager:

      Number 1  –  Check # of master check                Dollar 3  –  Check Amount               

      Number 2  –  Covers of selected check                Word 1  –  ‘Combnd’

      Number 3  –  # of PLUs on selected check            Work 2  –    ‘Check’

      Dollar 1      –    PLU Subtotal                                  Work 3  –  blank
