Solution
The transaction codes are configured by running the CMS Admin
Tool and selecting the Transaction Codes tab.
A new code can be created by clicking on the
button to create a new code. An
existing code can be edited by double-clicking on it, on single
clicking and pressing the 
button. The
allows a selected code to be deleted.
When adding or editing a code you are presented with a new window
to edit the transaction code details.
Here you must enter the details of the transaction code:
- Transaction Code - the actual code used for this transaction
which must be unique across the system. If this is for a
barcoded item it would be a good idea to scan it.
- Transaction Type - this specifies the type of code being
created. This will be one of the following
- Standard - A standard code
- New membership - A code for charging new membership
fees. This code will be recognised when editing the
member types and used by FrontGate.
- Membership Renewal - A code for charging membership
renewal fees. . This code will be recognised when
editing the member types and used by FrontGate.
- Session - reserved for future use
- Barcoded goods - A code for any item that has a barcoded,
e.g. a can of drink.
- Pass - A code for passes
- Custom - This code will prompt the user for a price /
value and a note.
- Description - This is the description as seen by the user
when this code is used.
- Amount - The currency value of the transaction.
On completion press OK to accept the edit/addition. You will not
be able to use any new codes until the changes have been applied to
the database.
