Issue: Incorrect gratuity amount added to a PREAUTH / CAPTURE transaction.

Solution: In Back Office > Summary > Credit Cards, note the transaction id from the signature slip, right-click on the PostAuth transaction and select Void Selected Transaction. Return to the front of house Capture screen and run the transaction again with the correct gratuity amount. Note that the Back Office > Summary > Credit Cards grid displays a line through the original PostAuth to indicate that it is voided and the new PostAuth appears below. Run a PCCharge Payment Server credit card detail report to confirm that the amount is adjusted correctly. Only the PosAuth (Capture) can be voided. Attempting to void the PreAuth transaction will result in a ***Invalid TroutD message.
