Remarks on the Program Function

By use of this program you can create, edit or delete the basic data of the main departments. Main departments are directly assigned to a company, and a maximum of 999999 main departments can be created for each company.

Note:
Items are compiled into departments. Programming of at least two organisation steps, i.e. Department and Main department, is imperative. All other superior organisation steps such as Section, Main section and Sector, are optional.

The following applies in general:
All items are linked to departments, all departments to main departments, all main departments to sections, all sections to main sections and all main sections to sectors.

The system must be defined in the correct sequence:

Create Sectors.
Create Main Sections and assign them to existing sectors.
Create Sections and assign them to existing main sections.
Create main departments and assign them to existing sections.
Create Department and assign them to the existing main departments.

Remarks on Data Fields

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.
