Remarks on program function
Update basic data, i.e. programming, changing or clearing, is possible with this program. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed for information.
This program defines which types of credit cards are to be accepted on this level.
Card nos. are assigned, the payment type is defined, the credit card data is updated and the credit card type for later use on the POS system is defined here. When an itemisation is finalised with this payment type the credit card is checked and identified on the basis of the data read in or entered.
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.
