Remarks on program function

This program is used to update the data for the GS1 parameter, i.e. programming, changing or clearing. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed.

The GS1 parameter must be assigned to the branch in field Application -> Organisation -> Branch GS1 Parameter.

For each GS1 bar codes used in MICROS Retail OSCAR POS, the GS1 application ID has to be set up in program Company -> GS1 Application ID.

Hinweis:
GS1 (Global Standards One) bar codes will be introduced on the market in 2010 an will replace the older EAN/UPC bar codes in a long run.

With the GS1 application Id (formerly EAN 128 application Id concept) it is possible to append additional data to the bar code.

For example, it is possible to add to the unique identification number a "charge number"or a "best before date" to the same encoded bar code.

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.
• The same procedure also applies to call up of another update program from this program.
• In some cases you may find so-called "Buttones" which are activated or deactivated by the user, depending on the setting. Activated Buttones have a dark top, deactivated Buttones are lighter.
