# Disable Manual Amount Entry

This setting prevents users from manually entering amounts on the terminals.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Best Practice:**

Always turn this setting on to avoid discrepancies.
{% endhint %}

On the Viva terminal:

1. Go to **Settings > PIN-protected settings.**
2. Under **Additional options**, toggle **Disable manual amount entry** on.

When enabled, the terminal will only display ***"Waiting for transaction"*** and cannot initiate payments independently. This ensures all transactions are initiated through the POS.
