Used to boost sales in 3^rd party SW by printing barcode coupons. Barcode coupons are printed with the bill in Metra POS Software and valued with a calculated amount that is transferred with the barcode itself to 3^rd party SW through Metra TCP/IP interface. Different coupon values are assigned to tickets. When tickets are issued in the Metra POS Software, the sum of all coupon values on the particular bill is calculated and assigned to a barcode which is generated and printed with the bill. Prior to bill & barcode printing the barcode and the coupon sum value is sent to 3^rd party SW through Metra TCP/IP interface; See XML package documentation "XMLbrcU5.pdf".

Barcode is generated using an application code and encryption to prevent misuse and fraud.
