#### External Sales Mapping

**Advanced Branch**

**Traces**

**Transactions**

Enable this option to keep a trace of the external transactions.

**Options**

**Media Type**

Select from the list a Maitre'D media type where any discrepancy amount for external sales   will be posted to. This will be used if the total calculated by Maitre'D does not match the total set in the XML import file.

**Time Out**

Enter the number of seconds to wait for an external order to be released by another process.

**Use Preparation Time**

Enable this option to allow the use of the delayed Preparation Time for a Pre-Order coming from the web. NOTE: If the Pre-Order is not for the same day, only cash can be accepted as the media type, and no discount can be applied.

**Use External Tax Calculation**

Enable this option to accept the tax amount from the external file rather the one calculated from the tax's setup in the P.O.S. Control module, if there is a discrepancy. In such an event, the difference will be posted to the media type chosen above, and will be logged in the answer files.
