How can I turn off / on the family balance at the point of sale?

This article explains the various options for family balance displays at the point of sale.

There are several options for showing or hiding the family balance at the point of sale. These options can be found in the General Settings of the LCS1000 Admin Site. Go to the LCS1000 Admin Site>Lines tab>General Settings.

If the "On if below Low Balance Threshold" is selected, the family balance will only show at the point of sale when the student's family balance is below the low balance threshold. This low balance threshold is determined in the LCS1000 Admin Site>Lines tab>General Settings, as seen here:
