Configuring Automatic Check Firing

  1. In the EMC, select the revenue center, click Setup and RVC Parameters.
  2. Click the Autofire tab and configure the settings as described in the following table:

    Table 13-3 Automatic Check Firing Fields

    Fields and Options Description

    (Optional) Autofire Employee
    If you want a specific employee to become the owner of all checks, including those placed using Transaction Services, after they fire, select a workstation operator and click OK.

    • If you select an Autofire Employee, all sales totals post to the designated workstation operator and the checks appear under the Autofire Employee in the Open Check Report.

    • If you do not select an Autofire Employee, the check operator remains the owner of the check after the check fires.

    Autofire Workstation

    Select the workstation from which the checks fire and print. The application uses this value to determine the order output devices and workstation printers to use when a check fires.

    Default Autofire Tender/Media

    Select a tender that workstation operators must use to end the current service round of checks that fire automatically.

    You can assign any service total type tender. Oracle Hospitality recommends configuring a separate service total tender for automatic check firing to allow workstation operators to identify the designated touchscreen button. Creating a Tender to End the Current Round of Checks contains information about configuring a service total tender.

    Backup Autofire Delay (Mins)

    Enter the amount of time (in minutes) that the autofire workstation must try to fire the checks. The default value is 5 minutes.

    After the Backup Autofire Delay time elapses, if the autofire workstation is unsuccessful at firing the check, the workstation at which the check was originally created tries to fire the check. If both workstations fail, a memo chit prints and a workstation operator must manually fire the check.

    (Optional) Maximum Days

    Enter the maximum number of days for which workstation operators can schedule checks to fire automatically.

    (Optional) 1 - Print Autofire Memo at Time of Entry

    Select this option if you want a memo chit to print when workstation operators create checks to fire automatically.

    (Optional) 2 - Print Guest Check at Time of Autofire

    Select this option if you want a guest check to print when a check automatically fires to order devices.

    If you select this option, guest checks print at the guest check printer assigned to the autofire workstation.

    3 - Enable Autofire in this Revenue Center

    Select this option to allow the revenue center to create checks that fire automatically.
