Remarks on Program Function

The data of the internal MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application program of type ECR status is updated, i.e. created, changed or deleted, with this program. Data which has already been stored can be displayed.

The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application allows the user to permanently display the ECR status of all terminals in an installation in a dedicated window. In addition to the status of the ECR online/offline, the operator status and the turnover recorded for this terminal and the status of the server and backup server can also be displayed.

Note!
The operator status is only displayed if the ECR is working in self-service mode.

The following status data is displayed:

· Number and status of ECR
The status of the ECR is shown in field ECR status ("Online", "Offline" and "Load database" if the client database is loaded).

· Operator name and operator status
The current status of the operator (signed off, signed on or break if the operator has signed off for a break with key <BREAK>) is displayed in field Operator status.

· Transfer out limit
The amount for the transfer out limit is shown in this field. This information is stored in program Terminal type in field Transfer out limit.

· Turnover cash
The turnover values for the payment types in cash are displayed in this field for the signed on operator of the current accounting period.

· Turnover non-cash
Turnover values for payment types Non-Cash (e.g. cheque) are displayed in this field for the signed on operator of the current accounting period.

· Total turnover per operator
The totals for the payment types Cash and Non-Cash are displayed in this field for the signed on operator of the current accounting period.

· Total turnover
This field shows the total for the payment types Cash and Non-Cash for all signed on operators.

· Status of the server
This field shows the current status of the server, e.g. "Online as Master", etc.

· Status of backup server
This field shows the current status of the backup server, e.g. "Online as Backup", etc.

The procedure for setting up the program Terminal status is as follows:

A program should be set up under System -> User inteface -> Applications for the Program type ECR status. Enter a free no. and the program name (e.g. ECR status).
Under System -> Configuration set up a Process unit of type "Oscar Client" with option "Grafic" for the program ECR status. In field Program name enter the name under which this was entered in program type ECR status. Please ensure that the spelling is correct. Select the system unit on which the program ECR status is to be automatically started. The processing unit for the ECR status should run on a system unit on which only an administration terminal can be started to ensure that offline status messages can be sent by the server and backup server.
After stopping and starting the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application the program to be started appears in a window on the screen of the linked system unit.
