Installation of Gift Cards
Gift Card Configuration
The SICOM SL-Ser ies can perform Gift Card transactions for the Burger King Pay It Your Way® Gift Card
Program via the Valuelink Network and the FDMS Gift Card Program via the First Data Merchant Services
(FDMS) Network. The customer must pre-arrange access to those networks before installation.
Gift Card features are available with POS release 2.45b or later.
Adding Gift Cards to a pre-existing DataTran system that was installed on a previous date requires new program
parameters and/or a software reload to work. The DataTran unit itself does not need to be returned to us. It will,
however (if shipped prior to June 2005) need to call home to be reprogrammed. IPTran devices shipped prior to June
2005 will need to be exchanged as they are not field upgradeable. Please contact your System Administrator or SICOM
Technical Support for more information.
There are 6 steps necessary to install the Gift Card Software at the restaurant:
• The DataTran device needs to support Gift Cards (if one is installed).
• Add 4 new Function PLU’s.
• Configure the revenue reports.
• Configure the ICR report.
• Setup 5 new buttons on the panels.
• Test the Cards!
Software Configuration
Add New Function PLUs
There are 4 new Function PLU’s and 5 buttons that are required to process Gift Cards. There are also 5 new
key types to use for these new Function PLU’s. These are:
• Key Type 74, Gift Card Issue. This is used to initially sell/purchase a NEW, COMPLETELY UNUSED Gift
Card from the restaurant.
• Key Type 75, Gift Card Redeem. This is used to redeem, or use, some or all of the amount that has been
loaded onto the card.
• Key Type 76, Gift Card Balance. This is used to print the remaining balance of the card. No purchase
necessary. No amount is loaded or removed from the card.
• Key Type 77, Gift Card Recharge. This is used to load (or add) more money to a card that is already in use,
increasing it’s available balance.
• Key Type 78, Gift Card Cashout. This is used to cash out all of the amount that has been loaded onto the
card. This action reduces the available balance from the card to 0 and renders it inactive until it is recharged.
The 4 new Function PLU’s that you will be adding will be similar to the following list:
