The following setup is required for A La Carte Vending functionality:
HST Side
•Verify that POS items are set up.
•Enable the Enable Vending option for patrons.
•Add vending terminals for the appropriate schools.
VendNovation Side
•Configure vending machines so that the Serial Number entry in FOH (Admin > Schools > POS tab > Vending section) matches the Machine ID entry in VendNovation. (The Machine Name entry in FOH does not have to match the Name entry in VendNovation.)
•If customers want pricing to match the POS items set up, the VendNovation Planogram must be set up so that item numbers in FOH match UPC numbers in VendNovation.
•VendNovation must add API credentials in their system to authenticate the API calls. The credentials can be obtained from the FOH Development team, if needed.
•Configure the Customer Key in FOH (System Options) to match the SiteID in VendNovation.
•VendNovation must set their system to always send UTC timestamps to HST, regardless of the vending machine time zone.
