On Screen Balance Inquiry
The Balance Inquiry feature permits the cashier to call up a student's balance in a pop up box within the Meal Input screen that displays the student's name, status and the current account balance.
This is a helpful feature because the balance is displayed that is not affected by any meal or items being served. When the student is called in the Meal Input screen and the reimbursable meal is displayed, the price of that meal if not zero is already subtracted from the account balance displayed in the upper right corner of the screen. To determine the correct balance the cashier has to add to that balance the price of any items to be recorded in that transaction. The Balance Inquiry feature displays the true balance without any computations.
