Remarks on program function
The data for the PP ADS protocol is updated, i.e. programmed, changed or cleared, with this program. Data which has already been stored can be displayed for information.
This protocol can be used for communications with a background processor.
In the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program this protocol is used for specific payment types, e.g. hotel credit, as a query to the background processor is necessary here.

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 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.
