Useful Information
In order to establish the link between SCO and the cashless catering system, both systems must have a common ID for each pupil (and staff member, if applicable).
Linking the Pupil and Staff Data
1. Check which Pupil ID you are using in SCO
- Click on the Configuration tab
- Click on System options
- Click on the General tab
- Note the Pupil ID field used for imports
(usually either Pupil ID, UPN or Admission Number) - Note the Staff ID field used for imports
(usually Staff ID) - Click on Done
2. Locate a Sample Pupil ID and Staff ID
- Click on the Accounts tab
- Note the Last name, First name and Pupil ID for the first pupil
- At the bottom of the Accounts screen click on View staff
- Right-click on the first Staff member
- Click on Edit staff details
- Note the Staff ID
- If there is no Staff ID, refer to the section Add Staff
3. Set the Third Party cashless ID field used for imports
- Click on the Configuration tab
- Click on System options
- Click on the General tab
- Set the Third party cashless ID field used for imports
This would usually be <ID field used for imports> - Click on Done
4. Check with your cashless caterer to ensure you are both using the same ID to ensure the link is successful
Note: If you are using Admission number check whether the format in the cashless system includes leading zeros or not.
