Purchasing Transportation Units

Transportation units can be purchased with an amount from the client's purse, on account, or using cash, credit card, debit card, check, or wire transfer.

Before you begin

EZ-Wallet must be open in the Trapeze4 Workstation.

About this task

For clients to be able to purchase transportation units, the transportation units need to be defined in EZ-Wallet ancillary data.

Up to two types of payment methods can be used: the purse, and one other payment method.

Procedure

  1. Search for and select the Client for whom to purchase transportation units.
  2. Click the Transport Units tab.
  3. Click Purchase Units.
    The Purchase Transport Units dialog box appears.
  4. Provide the following information:
    Type
    A transportation unit type.
    Payment Method
    The client's preferred payment method.

    If Purse is specified, Max Possible Deduct from Purse is no longer available.

    Amount
    The number of dollars to be used by the selected payment method when purchasing transportation units.

    If the amount is larger than the cost of the quantity of tickets purchased, the difference is deposited to the purse. (This typically occurs if $0.00 is used for Max Possible Deduct from Purse.)

    Max Possible Deduct from Purse
    The maximum number of dollars to be applied from the client's purse.

    This amount is added to the defined Amount. When purchasing tickets, the Amount is used first, and the purse is used to purchase any additional tickets, up to the maximum amount specified.

    For example, if the Payment Method is Cash, the Amount is $10.00, the Max Possible Deduct from Purse is $22.00 and tickets cost $2.50, then the $10.00 will purchase 4 tickets and the $22.00 will purchase 8 tickets. The total cost will be $30.00 and only $20.00 will be deducted from the purse.

    To use all of the currently available funds in the purse to purchase transportation units, click Set Max.

  5. Click OK.
    The Purchase Transport Units Details dialog box appears. It details the maximum quantity of transportation units that can be purchased using the amount of money specified, and provides a breakdown for each available quantity of those units. It also states how much money will be used from the purse, what the current balance is, and what the remaining purse balance will be.
  6. To complete the transaction, click Process Payment.
    The Confirmation dialog box appears.
