Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does it mean when this report shows 'no GC log data', rather than a GC number?
A: This will be applicable only for Aloha installations. The Aloha POS stores the gift certificate number in a file called GCLOG.dbf. However, sometimes this file does not contain all of the GC activity for a location. Since the Aloha POS records gift card activity dollar values in a separate file (GNDSALE.dbf), the GC sale/redemption will still be collected but the GC number will not. If you are experiencing this issue, please contact your Aloha support company to determine why GCLog.dbf is not capturing the GC activity for the affected location(s).
