Remarks on the Program Function
By use of this program, the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application provides you with the opportunity to create preset keys (key code: fPNOTE) for all payment types. As far as the booking at the terminal system is concerned, you only have to press the appropriate key to book a pre-defined value of the defined payment type, e.g. a cheque with the amount of EUR 400.00. If you enter a value before pressing the key, it will become the multiplier of the defined value. For example: 2 <cheque 400.00 EUR> = 2 * 400-EUR cheques.
The program is to be started from the window Payment Type via the button Key Values.
Note:
- By use of this program, you only define the value assigned to a key. In addition, you have to create the corresponding key via the window Keys, though (cp. field Payment Key No.).
- Preset keys of the payment type "Cash", the bank note keys, are still created within the Keyboard Configuration with the key code PMFIX. Further descriptions on this topic can be found in the chapter Maintenance – Bank Note Keys.
This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating these basic data
Just like in almost any other program:
- The input mask may be different in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program depending on the set-up of the application. In some cases some data fields may be missing.
- Some input fields may contain default values or defined selection options; these cannot be updated.
- The input mask contains some fields that require an entry and others in which entries are optional.
- If the data record is updated via multi-page input masks, go to the dialog window by clicking on the appropriate buttons with <Mouse key 1>.
- The same procedure applies to call up another update program from this program.
- In some cases you may find that so-called "Switches" which - depending on the default - can be activated or deactivated with <Mouse key 1>. Activated switches are identified by their dark color, deactivated switches are lighter-colored.
Company
Displays the number of the company selected in the window Payment Type. The preset key is created for it.
Payment key no.
Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 99
Every preset key has to be stored in the system with a unique number for each company. The number can be chosen at will.
Via this number, the assignment to the preset key you created in the window Keys is established. Both entries (Number assigned to Payment Key No. and in Event Data) must be match.
Payment type
Displays the number of the payment type you selected in the window PaymentType.
Note:
- With foreign currencies, you have to enter a value that is not "0" in the field Unit in the window Payment Type.
Descriptor
Permitted input range: alphanumeric, max. 20 chars.
The name of the preset key can be chosen at will.
Note:
- If you work with a screen terminal, the Descriptor is not the text shown on the key. The key text is to be entered in the window Touch Keys, Parameter: Descriptor.
Value
Permitted input range: decimal, max. 10 positions incl. max. 2 decimal digits
Enter the value to be assigned to the key.
