Discount Printer Template Syntax

V5 Question
21

If I add the calculation {DISCOUNT TOTAL} as below it will work with brackets?

[<J00>TOTAL SAVINGS:|[=F(-1*(TN('{ORDER TAG TOTAL:Discount}')+TN('{ORDER TAG TOTAL:VIP Discount}')+TN('{ORDER TAG TOTAL:HH Discount}')+TN('{DISCOUNT TOTAL}'))+TN('{ORDER STATE TOTAL:Gift}'))]]

You see I am getting this as now I can show total of all discounts; Ticket (DISCOUNT TOTAL), VIP, HH and any Discount Tag. Phew…not sure why it does not print in some cases with “[ ]” as I just copied Q’s syntax out of the V5 tutorial.

Now I need just to alter the format to show Quantity Discount Value when using VIP or HH discount tags as Q’s setup was just for fixed amount whereas I am using percentage (common over here).

PS:@emre if you have your Print Template open and go straight into POS, go back to the template (still open), you can cause the “No Preview”, “No Help” view as I have shown above.

EDIT: Ok further testing it seems unless I have a value in {DISCOUNT TOTAL} nothing will print if I have “[ ]” brackets at the start and end of the line for “TOTAL SAVINGS”? I just duplicated your transaction using “**GIFT” and got a blank line :confused:

Hmm. Seems like we never implemented bracketing support for expressions. I don’t know how I’ve assumed it works…

Hey @emre - should you also include this in your release notes for 5.1.54 as I did not spot it?

27

Yes, he did. Have you tried it?

Thanks @sukasem - I am obviously reading way too fast or loosing it! :dizzy_face: I even read the notes a 3rd time and still missed that… Yes it did work using the “Total Saving:” syntax in my original template.
