Resolution

When "Allow Over Tender" option is enabled in the corresponding Payment Type, then cashier can take the extra payment from the card (more than invoice amount) which can be returned back in the cash to the customer to balance out the payment. Below is the screenshot of this configuration in the Management Console Screen:

Management Console >> Administration >> Financial >> Payment Type >> Select the corresponding Card Payment type >> Go to the Tender Section at the Bottom of the page >> Enable or Disable the "Allow over Tender" and corresponding fields as per the requirement >> Save it >> Restart the POS


If your business does not want to take extra Payment (more than invoice amount) that means "Allow Over Tender" option needs to be disabled for the corresponding tender type.
