Since sales tax is a memory resident figure used for calculation of your taxes, if you change your tax figure (after initial setup) you must exit to the Main Menu and go back into the Sales Register before you ring a sale in order for the system to make the change.
Collect Sales Tax Taxes your retail products & Services when you ring up the sale. If there is no taxes on service, enter zero for the service tax rate.
Collect Client Statistics This is asking you if you want Unique to keep track of information on your clients. If you do, before every Sale is rung up Unique will ask you several questions about your client.
Specifically, the questions are:
Request Client or Walk-in Client? "R/W" Defaults to Request
You would enter one of the initials in the appropriate box.
Unique uses this information in the Client Statistics report, found in the Daily and Period Sales Reports, to generate information about the type of clients your salon serves and how much money each group brings into your salon.
This information can be useful in helping you determine the different sources of your income.
Default Discount Rate: If you have a standard discount rate you offer for sale items, you can enter that rate. Most salons offer a 10% discount rate on retail item. If you setup a 10% discount rate in this field, every time you enter a sale with a discount, the system will automatically default to a 10% discount. You do, however, have the option to override the rate you setup here during a sale.
Require Sales Password If you want a password required in order to open the cash drawer, enter "Y", for yes. You will need to setup your security level for employees you want to open the cash drawer. Level 1 - 5 (5 being the highest level).
Track Cashiers: Check this option if you'd like to track the employee that rings up the sale.
User Supplied Sales Slip If you want Unique to automatically generate a sales slip number for every transaction, enter N for this question. If you want to enter your own sales slip numbers, enter Y. If you answered Yes, Unique will ask you to enter a sales slip number before ringing up the sale. A sales slip number is the number located on the ticket book that the operator will return to the receptionist. We recommend that you use a ticket number because it will help you track for errors easily at the end of the day in the daily reports.
Next Sales Slip Number If you answered No for the preceding "User Supplied Sales Slip" question, you can enter the next sales slip number that will be used by Unique.
Track Clients? Forces the employee ringing up a ticket to select a client name so that the client history for that individual will be updated. We strongly recommend this option for walk-in clients.
Multiple Client Per Sale Track multiple individuals on one sales transaction. For example: If services for a mother & daughter are being paid for by one of them, they can be rung up on the same ticket & that party can write on check. Place all ticket numbers in the sales slip box. Example, 25/36 ticket # 25 is for mother and ticket # 36 is for daughter.
Ask for Client Referrals If you want the system to ask you every time you ring up a client's service ticket "If they were referred by someone?" then enter "Y" in this field. If you do not, enter "N".
Print Company: If you want your company name and address to be printed on your A/R invoices, check this option.
Note: You must have your company name & address entered in the Company information section in the Maintenance & Setup section.

If there is a receipt printer attached to your computer, whatever message is entered here will appear at the bottom of each receipt.
The message will appear on the receipt exactly as it is entered here.
