Setting up Touch-N-Sell Credit Card options
                  and link transactions to the Club Data System.

    Touch-N-Sell does not provide information in the data file for tender type
    other than "customer charge." The data file we import to the Club Data
    system does not specify whether a transaction has been tendered in cash,
    check or credit card. Therefore, the only way we can decipher this
    information is by making these transactions apply to a makeshift member
    number; you simply have to check the values in these member accounts and
    make appropriate manual entries (i.e. "payments" to the member accounts for
    the income and bankcard discount accounts) in the accounting system.

    1.  Create a "member" on your Club Data system called Mr. Visa. We suggest
        using a high member number in the same area where you receive cash,
        such as 9950 or so, but probably less than 9999. Do not use a number
        greater than 9999.

    2.  On the pro shop Touch system, create the same customers and customer
        numbers. Inform the pro shop staff that when customers use a
        commercial charge card for either cart or greens fees, they should
        "charge" the transaction to the appropriate customer account number for
        that particular charge card.

        NOTE: Touch-N-Sell provides a credit card tender option, but DO NOT
        USE IT IN THIS SCENARIO! It will not show up as a "customer charge" and
        will not transfer to the Club Data system.

    3.  When you import the pro shop PS data file into Club Data, the
        "charges" for Mr. Visa will be applied to the Mr. Visa member account.
        Because you also get the Visa transaction slips from the pro shop,
        you'll know which days have these Visa activity and which days you need
        to do the next step:

        Make a "payment" to the Mr. Visa account, just as you normally would if
        a member was paying his/her bill. I'd suggest creating a new department
        (such as department #?, VISA/MC PAYMENT and assign it to your ledger
        account for your bank cash, since this is where the deposits are
        likely automatically made.) The new department will allow you to track
        your Visa/MasterCard totals separately than if you used either your
        PAID ON ACCOUNT or CASH departments.

    4.  When you receive the Visa bill, you should make a manual entry for
        the cost of using these cards. You'll probably categorize them as
        either bank service charges or create a new expense category called
        something like "bankcard interest."

    Note: The newest version of Touch-N-Sell is called InfoTouch, and provides
    much greater detail in the data files. If you upgrade the pro shop
    system to InfoTouch; we would send you the InfoTouch interface at no cost.
    The advantages are numerous, especially to the pro shop staff. However,
    relative to the above, the pro shop staff could then use the credit card
    option on the register instead of "charging" these to Mr. Visa, etc. The
    daily reports InfoTouch produces would specify the number of charges and
    the totals for each type of credit card, making pro shop reconciliation
    easier. Office reconciliation would also be easier since the InfoTouch
    interface automatically makes offsetting "payments" as credit card
    transactions are processed. Otherwise, the office procedures would remain
    much the same as above.
