Overview

This special handler adds the ability to track credit sales by full serve attendant number. The Attendant Special Handler can be configured to monitor transactions from the consoles and readers. This special handler is only available on CFN3.

Attendant cards are GASBOY access cards containing the attendant ID in the last 2 digits of the account field. The handler requires an attendant card to be swiped following any card from the island and/or consoles. It will check the system ID, the length of account data, and the leng th of expiration date on the attendant card.

Site lockout will be checked for the attendant card if Club Cards are configured to be checked in SYS_PAR. The Attendant Special Handler sets the sale limitation, authorization, restriction and allocation number to that of the attendant card. After cards are swiped, the sale will proceed as a typical sale based on the site's configuration.

Procedure

The attendant swipes the customer card, swipes their attendant card, then completes the fueling. For all credit sales, the attendant number will be stored as the clerk number.

Attendant Special Handler

CASH purchases are charged to the Attendant’s card as if it were a club card. This will be charged as tender 005 with the Attendant’s number as the clerk number.

Attendant responsibility can be traced using the Attendant reports configured to use the clerk number as the attendant number. The standard clerk reports can also be used.

Other tools include:

• prattend -c (this is used by the standard attendant package)

•PJ -u

• prtender -c

Access card format

Access format cards are used with a CFN3 using the Attendant Card Handler. These cards are used to record the full serve attendant number of the transaction in the disk journal file. The site recognizes the card as an access card when one field separator before the system ID and an A follow the system ID are encoded on the card.

Access cards have the following layout:

-ssssssAccccccccccccccccccc-yymmllaapprr

-ssssssAccccccccccccccccccc-yymmllaapprr-ssssssAccccccccccccccccccc-yymmllaapprr

---- is a field separator.

ssssss

ssssss is a two- to six-digit system ID number.

ssssssssssss AAAA after the system ID indicates that this is an access card. ccccccccccccccccccc

ccccccccccccccccccc is up to 19 digits of account information. This entire area can

cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

be used for a string of information up to 19 digits; or can be broken into subfields, the total of which cannot exceed 19 digits. For example, if you use 19 digits for card number, you cannot define any other fields. The last two digits of this field will be the attendant number recorded in the disk journal file.

Usually this 19-digit area is broken down as follows: the first field is a four- to six-digit card number. Fields after the first field are broken down into vehicle, employee, account number, department or whatever you specified when you ordered the system.

yymmllaapprr

yymmllaapprr is optional information.

yymmllaapprryymmllaapprr

---- is a field separator.

yymm

yymm is a four-digit expiration date with yy being the 2-digit year and mm being the

yymmyymm

2-digit month. This field could also use only two digits (yy).

ll can be a zero-, one- or two-digit limitation code.

llll aa

aa is a zero-, one- or two-digit authorization code.

aaaa pp

pp is a zero-, one- or two-digit pr ice level. This field is ignored on the access card

pppp

when using the Attendant Card Handler.

rr is a zero-, one-, or two-digit restriction code. Depending on its value, the

rrrr

dollar amount, odometer, vehicle number, PIN, or some combination of these must be entered by the cardholder.
