# Handling Insufficient Tendered Amount Warnings

## What This Means

**This error occurs because the cash entered is less than the amount due. The system requires sufficient cash input to cover the full total before completing the transaction .**  

### **How to Fix It**

To complete the payment, follow these exact steps:

1. **Review the bill total:** Check the total amount due for the transaction.
2. **Re-enter cash tendered:** Enter an amount equal to or greater than the bill total.
3. **Complete payment:** Proceed with processing the transaction once the entered amount covers the balance.
