Creating Customised Adjustment
Open the Adjustments tile
This will present you with the adjustments screen
On the left-hand side pane, you will see some of the different Adjustment types – selecting any one of these types will display a list of the Adjustments of that type on the right-hand side.
We can edit any adjustment by selecting it and then clicking edit on the far right, and from the same screen we can disable or enable the Adjustment by checking the enabled switch.
To add a new adjustment, we can click new in the control panel.
This will open a window with all the different types of adjustments you can create in Power E POS.
Select a ‘Customised adjustment for more advanced situations‘
This will open the general settings for Advanced Adjustments
Here we can give the Adjustment a name – this name is so when you come back into your adjustments you can at a glance easily find the adjustment you want to alter, enable or disable at a glance.
The next option is receipt text – this is what will be displayed on the customer receipts.
Then you can move onto the Reward Method, if you hit the drop-down arrow you will be present with a bunch of different reward methods depending on what you need your adjustment to do. If you are unsure of what each method does, you can press the ‘I’ which will give you a brief description of each method. Depending on which method you select this may change some of the following options presented.

| Use Rule Rewards | Will use the Rewards set based on the Rules of the Adjustment | Purchase 1 Burger - No change Purchase 1 beer - Complimentary |
In this guide we will select Set Value as this is a simple customised adjustment to explain how they can be used. The Set Value adjustment will be the example given in the above table.
Order 1 Main Meal, 1 Salad & 1 Drink for $45
First step is to set the Rules that will allow this adjustment to be acceptable on POS.
Multiple rules can be set based on the needs of the adjustment
| Rule | Description |
| Requires all rules to Qualify | All rules entered into adjustment must be satisfied before rewards are calculated |
| Applies if any rules qualify | Reward method will activate when the first rule in the adjsutment is satisfied If Use Rule Rewards is set with this Rule then each individual rule rewards will also activate |
| Applies the first qualifying rule only | If multiple rules are created, the first rule that is satisfied will have the reward & the others will be ignored |
For this adjustment we will be selecting Requires all rules to qualify to ensure that the discount is not given unintentionally
Click on Insert to add in the First rule
In the new pop up we will give the Rule a name that identify the qualifying items for this & choose a requirement for the applied items
| Requirement | Descricption |
| All Items | All items in the adjustment group are affected by the reward |
| Order (n) items | Only a certain number of qualifying items must be ordered for the rule to apply |
| Order Between(x) & (y) items | The amount of qualified items must fall within the range to have the rule apply |
| Selected Item | If a qualifying item is highlighted in the transaction list will this rule be satisfied |
We will be selecting our Main Meal group & the requirement of Order (n) Items set to 1 
Subtotal Min & Max allows us to rescrict the group to a minimun & maximun value if required
Next we have switches, this is to include or exclude child products, children products can include extras added to products, for example if you had a Carbonara, and they added additional chicken that costs $6 you might not wish for the discount to apply to the additions, in which case you would switch to no – to not include child products.
Flags allow us to control the qualifying group & child products in other ways
| Flag | Description |
| Apply reward values on a per cover basis | When the reward is calculated it spreads the value across as a multiple of the covers |
| Ignore schedule rescrictions | This rule can be used outside of a set schedule in the adjstment itself |
| Ignore zero priced item when validating requiremens | If any items in the Rule groups are $0 cost, then they will not be included in the Rule or reward |
| Include Negative Value items | Any negative value item in the Rule Group will be included into the reward method |
| Order X items will require X of the same PLU | The rule will ony apply to the same item to be ordered to satisfy the rule instead of the entire grouping |
| Use the cheapest item first | This will force the rule to apply the reward to the item of lesser value when calculating the reward |
| Use the entire selected item quantity | If item in transaction list is greater then 1, then the entire quantity will be included in the rule |
| Use the most expensive item first | This will force the rule to apply the reward to the item of greater value when calculating the reward |
We will select use cheapest item first so that the maximun amount of profit can be retained
The Warning section allows us to generate a message to the user if the Rule can not be applied or to inform then of how to acheive the Rule, is purely optional
We will then do the same for our Salad & Drink Rules
The switches after this are whether the discount is enabled or active, and whether this discount will be applied automatically based on the requirements you set or manually selected via a button added to the touchscreens.
On the left we have more settings to further configure our adjustments, starting with schedule. Schedule gives us the ability to set a date and time the event is active between. 
Next is Service Modes, this allows you to limit what modes the adjustments are available in, for example if you had an adjustment for only Dine ine items, you might want to limit that adjustment to exclusively work in the Table service mode.
Warnings as the same as above but set an an adjsutment level & will apply all qualifying rules to its texts
Then we have Permissions, this simply gives us the ability to select whether a specific group of people can apply the adjustments or not.
Then we have Interfaces, if a qualofying integration is turned on then we can map this adjustment to the integration
Finally you can also add a graphic for the adjustment as a quick visual reference to what that adjustment might be for, or what it does.
Click Save & ensure that you publish these changes to the POS
Checking that it works in POS.
By Logging into the POS & opening up a new table we can check to ensure that the deal is working
Once all qualifying items are entered into the transaction the deal should appear underneath the qualifying items with a '*' symbol next to them to specify that they have been changed
If there are any error messages that appear when trying the deal, then there might be an error in the rules that need to be tested further.
To help with testing, turning the adjustment to not be automatic will allow us to see the qualifying PLUs in the transactio & which Rule is not satisfied
You can click on the Adjustment tab in the context bar & then click on the adjustment, which if it is not being applied it will be RED,the Adjustment Rules will appear to see which rule is not satisfied
Adding in the correct item will change the Adjustment to Black & display the amount of the discount that will be applied to apply the reward for these items & which qualifying items are being used.
Click Apply adjustment to apply it to the items
