Options
The Charge Settlement Type can be set to display on particular Workstation Devices, all devices, or particular Areas or all Areas. There are no pressing rules of thumb to consider when deciding whether/how to use Devices or Areas, however, please note that if using a Device attached to an F&B Area, the Charge Settlement Type will show regardless of which Area is selected in the Select a Table Phase at the POS.
For instance, let’s assume the Club Bar Workstation Device is flagged within the Credit Card Charge Settlement Type, but the Dining Room Area is not. If a user logs in to the Club Bar Workstation Device and decide to choose the Dining Room Area in the Select a Table Phase, the Credit Card Charge Settlement Type will still show in the Dining Room Area because the user is logged into the Club Bar Workstation Device.

To place the button to the right of the Cash button the Location X would be the same as the Credit Card button, 180.
