Remarks on program function
Data for chain reports can be updated, i.e. created, changed or deleted, with this program. Data which has already been stored can be displayed for information purposes.
The parameters for the selection criteria in individual programs can be defined in a Chain report with this program.
Note:
The parameters set for the reports in a Chain report can be checked by
running the Chain report interactively. Activate the program Chain report with the button Interactive.
Selection criteria can be entered for each report called up. Defaults are set in the standard version and these can be defined or modified with specific parameters or can be modified by the person responsible before report print starts.
Sample report: Recording statistics:
The selection criteria in an automatic chain report can be defined with the appropriate parameters.
Remarks on data fields
The following description deals with all options available for update of basic data.
As with nearly all programs the following also applies here:
- The entry mask in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application program may differ for this program. Some data fields may be missing.
- There may be some defaults or firmly defined selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current program.
- Fields with enforced entry defined are to be found in the entry mask as are fields where entry is optional.
- If the data record is updated over several pages of entry masks the dialog window is reached by clicking onto the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
- The same procedure also applies to call up another update program from this program.
- In some cases, you may find so-called "Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with <Mouse key 1> depending on the setting. Activated switches have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter.
Event number
Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 9999
Enter a sequential position no. in this field.
Field name
Entry range permitted: alphanumeric, max. 20 pos.
Select the field name for the selection criteria required. The name is found by clicking onto the arrow and opening a window from which the name can be selected.
The meaning of the field name is shown in the following list:
The names that appear in the list are defined by the report selected because the selection criteria differ from report to report.
Period:
The entry in field Field value defines the interval at which the report is to be called up. The recording date is taken into consideration.
The following are permitted:
- 0 = Year current year's results
- 1 = Month current month's results
- 2 = Week current weekly results
- 3 = Day current daily results
- 4 = Shift 1 for the current day
- 5 = Shift 2 for the current day
- 6 = Shift 3 for the current day
- 7 = Shift 4 for the current day
- 8 = Shift 5 for the current day
- 9 = Shift 6 for the current day
- 10 = Shift 7 for the current day
- 11 = Shift 8 for the current day
- 12 = Shift 9 for the current day
- 13 = Period (current period) [Parameter ->Misc. Param. -> Periods]
- 14 = Financial year (current Financial year [Company -> Details 2]
- 15 = Financial week (current Financial week) [Company -> Details 2]
Minus interval:
The selection 1, 2 or 3 in field Field value defines whether the values -1, -2 or -3 are to apply for this report during the interval defined.
Example:
Interval 3 = current day is defined in the report. The addition of
parameters:
Minus Period = 1 the results for the previous day will be shown - the system date is borne in mind.
Minus Period = 2 the results for the current recording day will be shown..
Minus Period = 3 the result for the previous day will be shown - the system data is borne in mind.
Example:
Recording date is shown in the store or profit centre status.
System date is the date shown by the processor
Recording date is 4.4.2000
System date is 5.4.2000
Period is 3, i.e. the current daily results with regard to the recording date (4.4.2000) are shown in the report.
If parameter Minus Period is set, the following reports are possible:
Minus Period 0 = current system date -> 5.4.2000
Minus Period 1 = previous day's results on system date -> 4.4.2000
Minus Period 2 = current recording date -> 4.4.2000
Minus Period 3 = previous day's results on recording date -> 3.4.2000
