I can't determine from the help screens (RMS evaluation copy) how to get a
gift certificate number to appear on the customers sales receipt. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Remove the tilde (~) from the Alignment line in the Transaction Details part
of the receipt that you want to modify. To do this, follow these steps:
1.. Right-click the Receipt.xml file, and then click Copy.
2.. Move the copy of Receipt.xml into another folder as a backup. Receipt
files are located in your Store Operations installation folder. By default,
the installation folder has the following location.

C:Program FilesMicrosoft Retail Management SystemStore
OperationsReceipt Templates

3.. Right-click the original Receipt.xml file, and then click Properties.
4.. Clear the Read-only check box in the Attributes section, and then
click OK.
5.. Right-click the Receipt.xml file, and then click Edit, or open the
file by using Notepad.
6.. Click Edit, and then click Find.
7.. Search for "transaction details" (without the quotation marks) and
then click Find Next. This will locate the following part of the receipt.

=============================
Transaction Details
=============================
-->
<IF>
<CONDITION> Transaction.Type <> transactionDrop & Transaction.Type <>
transactionPayout & Transaction.Type <> transactionNoSale & Transaction.Type
<> transactionAccountPayment </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<TABLE>
<FONT> "Small" </FONT>
<BORDER> tbNone </BORDER>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "<~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH< PageWidth * 0.29 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Item" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT>"<~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH< PageWidth * 0.42 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Description" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> ">~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.29 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Amount" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>
8.. Remove the tilde (~) after "<" in the following section only.

<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "<~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH>PageWidth * 0.42 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Description" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>

This section will now look similar to the following text.

<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "<" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.42 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Description" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>

Do not remove the two other tildes that are in the Transaction Details
text because those tildes refer to different width settings.
9.. Click File, click Save, and then close the file.
10.. Start Store Operations Manager.
11.. Click Database, click Registers, and then click Receipt Formats.
12.. Select your receipt format and then click Properties.
13.. Locate your receipt file by using the hourglass lookup.
14.. Double-click the receipt file to select it.
15.. Click OK.
16.. Start Store Operations POS.
17.. To test the new receipt format, run a transaction by using a
serialized item or by using a kit item.
