Using and Reporting
Using POP Discount
Depending on the program type, the system may prompt for membership or for a POP code when a fuel sale is added to the transaction.
Because POP discount is an automated discount, the cashier functions don’t change while the program is active.
Basic POP Discount Functionality
Basic POP Discount functionality involves:
Setting up a POP Discount.
Setting up a qualifier.
A qualifying fuel sale with another item that qualifies a transaction.
Criteria to qualify the transaction.
Meeting the criteria.
After the criteria is met to qualify the transaction, the consumer receives the POP Discount.

Reporting
POP Discount Report
The POP Discount Report displays discounts applied by fuel grade. Within each grade, the report breaks down how the discount is applied, either as a pre-dispensed discount or a post-dispensed discount.
When fuel is dispensed at the discounted rate, the amount of the discount is not included in the sales information. Therefore, it is calculated by subtracting the actual amount from what they would have paid at the street price.
The discount amount is not reported as a discount to that department. Nor, is it reflected in either the Discount or Fuel Discount memo item totals. It is reflected only in the POP Discount Report as a pre-dispensed PRE-DISP discount.
