Print Last Paid Ticket

[JTRTech]

See my tutorial. Pretty simple to do.

[JTRTech]

The tutorial you linked to doesn’t use entity field so not sure where you got that from…

[Sonnmatt]

In your Tutorial, i see some different fields under:
Rules, select Actions: Update Programme Setting.

possible to use another action for this ?

Tutorial: Basic Print Last Bill/Receipt Button (JTRTech)

I know there are other similar tutorials but wanted to upload a simple quick one for ‘Print Last Bill’ First you’ll need to setup a rule to log the last paid ticket. This is uses a update program setting action used in many setups and your likely to already have so havent’t gone into that. You could use local but I have used ‘not local’ and logged against program setting of LASTBILL_{:CURRENTTERMINAL} Have added the two constraints to only log tickets that are closed with no remaining balance…

I followed this tutorial too, really no success. I reapeated Process several times.
I really dont know what s wrong with my steps .

Following steps are done:
1- Action to store Last Ticket ID using Update Programme Setting
2- This action added into Print Bill Rule with Mappings
3- Automation Command Button is created
4- Load Ticket Action is created.
5- Rule is Created for Automation Command.

I make same with V5 and 4, to see the problem.

@Jesse I sent you all steps in a pdf file.

[Adam1]

@Sonnmatt Showing your steps of what you did will give you better feedback and help others in the community if they have the same problem.

[Sonnmatt]

@Adam1 all what i did to print last Ticket, are in pdf file. It is visible on it. But Problem is not resolved,i cannot print my last paid and closed Ticket. Any Proposition?

[Bob_be]

Try changing the setting name to: {LOCAL SETTING:LastTicketId}.
Edit
Opps. sorry forgot the local setting option is set to False, meaning it is global setting. Change the setting to {GLOBAL SETTING:LastTicketId}

@Bob_be You have followed this Tutorial ? ( And Change the name?)

@Bob_be you mean like this?

[Bob_be]

@Sonnmatt

@Bob_be you mean like this?

Yes.

@Sonnmatt

@Bob_be You have followed this Tutorial ? ( And Change the name?)

Yes, I use one of the above mentioned tutorials, I don’t remember right off hand which one…

At some time in the past, the tag to access the settings changed.

• To access the settings when “Is Local” is True, use {LOCAL SETTING:x}.
• To access the settings when “Is Local” is False, use {GLOBAL SETTING:x}.

{SETTING:x} will work sometimes. That why it’s a good habit to use the above methods instead.

@Bob_be
i have following: What am i doing wrong with this Steps?

• Action to store last ticket
  

-Rule for This action

-Automation Command

• Load Ticket Action
  

  

• Rule for automation Command

I want to make sure you understand what is happing. It looks you have it setup with a button to print the bill.

• When pressed, it will store the Ticket ID in the settings.
• You have another button called PrintLastBill, when pressed it print the last bill printed.

One problem with that setup is: If any terminal prints a bill in-between the 2 steps above, that will become the new Print Last Bill.

Some of you setups do not look correct:

AutomationCommanName should have some spaces. Select it from the drop down an all of your rules.
{LastTicketId} is not a valid tag. It is storing the literal text of {LastTicketId}. You want to store the Ticket Id there. The proper tag should be {TICKET ID}.

I suggest to start over and use @JTRTech tutorial. Where ever it show to put {SETTING:LASTBILL_{:CURRENTTERMINAL}} use `{GLOBAL SETTING:LASTBILL_{:CURRENTTERMINAL}}’

This will eliminate the possibility of another terminal over-writing the setting (it uses terminal names in the setting names). If you are only using 1 terminal, and add another terminal in the future, you will not have to re-do anything with the print last bill.

@Bob_be

• Automation Command Name has space between in software. It is OK.
• Tag is replaced per {TICKET ID}
• i have only one Device, no other Terminal.

Stil Not Possible

What version of Samba are you using?

[Sonnmatt]

@Bob_be i have both. 5 and 4. Most of Tutorials are made for v4. I have installed this one in other computer. I would like to see why it is not going. But no success !!!

maybe i need to say: in Ticket Closing i have rule, after payment ticket is printed and closed automatically. Problem?

If your wanting to print a ticket after payment, that sounds sensible to me. Look at JTR’s rules on how he did it.

Make sure when you are testing you are setting the Ticket Id before trying the Print Last Ticket. If you make changes in the Rules and go directly to Print Last Ticket, the Ticket Id may not be set.
