Deposit for the RFID Media carriers (Card, Wristband, etc.) is used where the access control system does not enable Ticket retaining functionality due to system topology, lack of capture HW components (Wristband Capturer) or usage in general.

Guests are charged an additional amount of money upon Ticket issue. This amount is the parameter of the Deposit check engine. Several different deposits can coexist in the system; assigned to different tickets. Since this kind of tickets are not retained by Metra HW, they must be returned manually by the guests. When this is done a procedure is performed in the Metra POS SW that enables return of the deposit taken when issued.

NOTE: Usually deposit is defined to be without tax, as this is only money exchange that is expected to be returned.
