A generate that has been split cannot be selected and transferred to another window by itself (without the main transaction) when the parameter is active.

When you split a transaction that has generates such as a tax attached, the tax is automatically recalculated for the two resulting transactions. A generate that has been split cannot be selected and transferred to another window by itself (without the main transaction) if the Auto Transfer Generate with Main application parameter is set to Y.)

Window Routing: Routing Limits and Auto Transfer Generates with Main

Routing instructions may be used to route various charges (such as room charges, parking, and minibar charges) to specific windows during end of day processing. When using window routing, you should be aware of the following consideration.

If the Cashiering>Routing Limits application function is set to Y and the Cashiering>Auto Transfer Generates with Main application parameter is set to N, window routing will not take place during end of day processing if the main transaction includes generates and if a routing limit has been specified for the routing instruction. The user must refresh the folio for the charges to be transferred.

Note: The Cashiering>Auto Transfer Generates with Main application parameter determines whether or not generates will transfer with the main charge regardless of whether the generate transaction codes are included in the routing instructions. If the parameter is set to N, generates will never transfer with the main charge; if it is set to Y, generates will always transfer with the main charge.
