This is useful in situations such as when the Customer wants to go back and get another item, or when the cashier must wait for a price check on an item.   Instead of holding up the check-out line, click on "Hold Sale" and check out the next Customer in line.  When the Customer comes back, or when the cashier is ready to continue processing the sale that was on hold, the transaction is easily re-opened by clicking on the minimized program from the windows task bar.

 

When you click on "Void Last Sale", you will be prompted for your Plug'n Pay® Retail password.   The purpose for requiring that you enter this password here is to prevent unauthorized persons from refunding credit card sales.   Voiding sales is normally a supervisor's function.   Enter the Plug'n Pay Retail password in the box shown below.   (This password may be found in the main Y.E.S.! program, under the "Website", "Secure Site Setup" menu, in the "Retail Password" field.   For this reason, Point of Sale personnel should not be granted full access to the main Y.E.S.!screens.)

After successfully entering the Merchant's Retail Password, you will be prompted to enter the Transaction ID number.  If the transaction was successfully voided by Plug'n Pay® , the following message box will be displayed:
