Remarks on program function

The budget figures for the department turnover are defined in this field. The data allows for a comparison of the budget figures with the values recorded under department turnover. The appropriate reports can be drawn up for various organisation levels.

The user can go into the update program with button Positions after entry of the selection criteria and can then select the appropriate departments.

This program can be called up from the programs Department, Main department, Section, Main section and Sector in the menu window.

The entry sequence is as follows:

Start the update program Budget department and define the profit centre and the date for which the budget figures are to be defined.
The budget figures can be defined either manually or automatically by the system by

either
changing to the update program with button Positions to allow for manual entry of the budget figures for turnover and profit for the department concerned

or
changing to the update program with button Create from statistic to allow the system to create the budget figures on the basis of the statistical data in the system.
Alternatives can be entered after automatic creation of budget figures.
After creation of the budget figures, the report Budget/Actual comparison is called up from menu Report to allow for printout of comparative data between the turnover achieved and the defined budget figures. This report can be produced on the company, branch or profit centre level for a variety of periods and organisational steps such as department, main department, section, main section or sector.

Remarks on data fields

The following describes all available options for update of this basic data.

As with nearly all 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 onto 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.
