Electronic Money is used to enable cashless vending functionality of DEBIT type inside an access controlled system. Allow delivery functionality must also be purchased to enable electronic money since all Metra POS SW procedures depend on it, even if credit solution is then not used in the system.

Any amount of money (conventional payment methods) can be deposited on the user's (ticket's) account. Usually used for children tickets to absolutely limit their possibility of spending by prepay, or used generally in systems with no CREDIT functionality.

If purchases are made or not, exit is denied from the system on access control devices. Several purchases can be made on the same ticket, only the SUM is not allowed to be more than the prepaid amount (or a SUM of the prepaid amount and limit of the allow delivery check engine if electronic money is used in combination with allow delivery). Each purchase is a delivery note from the Metra SW financial POV.

Items can be purchased “on the ticket” using any of the three methods described with Allow delivery.

Exit is denied to tickets with any or none electronic money left, so a procedure must be performed in the Metra POS SW that converts the delivery notes of the user's (ticket's) account to one document with all the purchased items and uses the prepaid amount of the deposited money for clearance; What is left of the prepaid money is returned to the customer. After this exit is granted.

Electronic money on a user's (ticket's) account will prevent user from exiting only on devices on the passage limiting the main access control ring.
