Hi
Just back from leave so just catching up with this chain. We also have a requirement to do this. We are awaiting developments by the RFID supplier to enable to enable more data to go back to the LMS via the SIP. Otherwise we would have to do the same as Norfolk and we don't want to have to go to all that trouble if we don't need to. We are Intellident and Spydus (Civica)

Subject: Re: Enhanced financial reconciliation reports on Kiosks?
Hi John
Each kiosk is set up on our LMS as a separate till, and the details of
all the transactions are held in the cash management module of the LMS.
Total takings can be printed off from each kiosk and checked against the
physical coinage. When doing the banking, a report for each library can
be produced for that session which breaks down the takings by income
code, and the total from that report should match the totals from the
kiosk reports to give the verification.
There are separate lines for cash and credit/debit card transactions in
the two libraries where we take card payments - online reports on card
transactions are also available from our merchant partner.
We are using Axiell and Intellident. We have been in discussions with
both suppliers about the need to pass more information between the LMS
and the kiosks than SIP2 will accommodate, and not just for financial
reconciliation purposes.
Regards

Hi Janet.
Yes, that would make sense if you don't push many chargeable items
through the kiosk, but we try to push as much through as possible, hence
the query.
Many thanks
JU

Hi
No we don't have that detail, but have always banked the money coming in
via self service as book fines (that would be the majority of the money
anyway) -

Subject: Enhanced financial reconciliation reports on Kiosks?
All,
For audit and other reasons we need to account here for the daily fines
and charges for CDs and DVDs separately from each other and separately
from books .
Currently, staff do that from the Tills but our Kiosk daily
reconciliation report (working via SIP2 - that surprised me, I thought
the kiosk software kept the payment log!) doesn't have that granularity
of detail.
We've discussed options via MIS from the LMS (emaill out a daily report
to the branches - OK, but a 'bolt on') or a SIP2 customization to feed
an amended Kiosk report.
SIP2 seems not easy given what the kiosk software can currently support
via SIP2, and the work the LMS would need to put in if the kiosk could
support it.
And we seem to be the only customer with our LMS/Self Service
combination with this request to date, though I do hear rumours that
something like it has been done elsewhere.
Has anyone else got this issue, or something like it? Have you discussed
this with your Self Service and LMS suppliers?
All contributions gratefully received!
