Remarks on program function

The data for branch groups can be updated, i.e. programmed, changed or cleared, with this program. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed.

Note:
The different branches of your company can be compiled into branch groups (e.g. for evaluation in reports).

Remarks on data fields

The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.

As with nearly all other programs the following also applies here:

The entry mask for this program may differ in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program. Some data fields may be missing.
There may be 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 masks 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 on the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
The same procedure also applies to call up of 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.

Company

Entry range permitted: numeric 1 - 9999

Enter the number of the company to which the branch group is to be/has been linked. The name of the company is shown on the right. No branch group can be programmed without this link.

If the number is not known, the data record can be selected with Search.

Branch grp.

Entry range permitted: numeric 1 - 99

If a new branch group is to be programmed, enter an easy to identify free no. in this field. A branch group can only be linked to a company.

If changes or clear operations are necessary, the data record should be called up from entries in the marked key fields. If the number is not known, the data record can be selected with the search function.

Descriptor

Entry range permitted: max. 20 alphanumeric pos.

Enter the name of a new branch group. If a change or clear operation is required, the name appears after entry of the branch group no.. Name entry is optional.

Price list

Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 99

Enter a number to identify the price list to be linked to this branch group. If the price list has not yet been programmed use the button to the right of the arrow symbol to branch to program Price list and create the price list.

Note:
The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application allows for very flexible pricing. For example, a price list can be linked to a company and this applies then to all branches. A price list can also be linked to an individual branch or to a sub profit center or a branch group. This special price list always has priority over a price list of a superior level. More details can be found under Price list.

Organisation level	Price list	Validity
Company	Price list 1	Valid for the company
Branch group	Price list 2	Valid for a group of branches (has priority over the price list of the superior company)
Branch	Price list 3	Valid for a specific branch (has priority over the price list of the superior branch group).
Profit center	Price list 4	Valid for a specific profit center (has priority over the price list of the superior branch).
