Refunds and voids
Updated: 2026-05-25
Refunds and voids
Also known as: devoluciones, anulaciones, anular, reembolso, void a line, refund a ticket, rectificación, manager PIN void.
Two distinct cases that people often mix up:
- Voiding a line: the ticket hasn't been paid yet. You remove a product that was added by mistake or that the customer changed their mind about.
- Refund: the ticket has already been paid. You have to issue a formal refund, which prints with a reason and is recorded in the end-of-day cashup and the fiscal log.
Both leave a trail. Don't delete lines already sent to the kitchen without a manager PIN — brasio won't let you.
Voiding a line before payment
- In the table detail, find the line you want to remove.
- Swipe the line to the left. A Void button appears.
- Tap Void.
brasio checks the state:
- If the product hasn't been sent to the kitchen yet, it's removed straight away.
- If it was already sent to the kitchen, brasio asks for the manager PIN and, on confirmation, prints a ticket in the kitchen with a VOIDED notice so they know not to prepare it (or to stop if they'd already started). brasio also asks for a brief reason (customer changed mind, server error, out of stock).
The void is recorded against the server's shift and appears on the daily report.
Refunding a paid ticket
If the customer has already paid and you need to give money back (a complaint, an error, a faulty product):
- Admin → Tickets — the closed-tickets browser. See Browse and reprint closed tickets for how to find a specific ticket by date or customer.
- Find the ticket by date and the search box (number or customer).
- Tap the ticket → Refund.
- Pick which lines to refund (the whole ticket or just some lines).
- Enter the reason for the refund.
- Pick the refund method (Cash, Card, etc.).
- Confirm.
brasio:
- Prints a refund ticket with the reason, the refunded lines and a negative amount.
- If the refund is to card, brasio fires the operation on the SumUp reader to push the charge back to the customer.
- Generates the corresponding Veri*factu record (rectifying invoice). See Veri*factu in brasio: overview.
Suggested policy
- Free voids while the ticket is open: the server does them on their own.
- Voids of lines already sent to the kitchen: manager PIN.
- Refunds on a paid ticket: always manager PIN.
Role-based permissions (who can void or refund without a manager PIN) are configured by the brasio team. Get in touch if you need to adjust the policy for your venue.
Not working?
- "You don't have permission to void": ask for a manager PIN or change the employee's role.
- The card refund errors out: the reader may be out of Bluetooth range. Bring it closer to the terminal and try again. See Connect your SumUp card reader.
- The ticket doesn't show up in Tickets: the default date is today — use Día anterior or pick a date if the ticket is older.
