They are commonly used to allow or disable functions that for one reason or another cannot be programmed to work any other way.
These options are very important and can cause havoc without proper use and instruction.
It is recommended to only use them where you have been advised to do so.

The Tender Display Order function can be used to change the Display Order of Tender Types on the Tender Screen of the POS.
This is useful for setting the most used Tender Types so that they appear at the top of the list, reducing the need to scroll through the Tender Types to access frequently used Tender Types.
Press the ">" button within the Tender Display Order field and select a Tender Type > OK.
The Tender Type Code will be added to the Tender Display Order field.
Repeat the process to add additional Tender Types to the Tender Display Order field.
Alternatively, the Tender Type Codes can be manually entered into the field as a comma separated list without using the ">" button.
Enter the Tender Type Codes into the Tender Display Order field as a comma separated list (e.g. 1,3,5, etc.).
The Tenders will be displayed in the order specified in this field.
Note that not all enabled Tender Types need to be specified in this field.
The Tender Types entered in the Tender Display Order field will be displayed at the top of the Tenders list in the order shown in this field, followed by the default order of the remaining Tender Types that haven't been specified in this field.
Hovering over the Tender Display Order field will also show the full names of the Tender Types in the entered order.
Once the Tender Display Order has been set, the order should apply at the POS Terminal on the next sale.
If the Tender Display Order does not take effect, restart the POS Terminal or perform a Close Suite/Open Suite on the POS Terminal.
When Tendering the sale, the Tenders will be displayed in the configured order, as shown in the example below.
