Operator

The following program description deals with:

Remarks on the Program Function

By use of this program you can maintain the basic data of the operators, i.e. insert new records, edit and delete the existing ones.

An Employee has to be defined as an operator or as a salesman in order to be able to work with the sales application program on the terminal. A new employee can be inserted into the system only if he is first assigned to a company and a branch.

From the Operator List, the basic data of all operators (or the selected ones) can be produced. The actual status of the operators is shown in the Operator State List.

Remarks on the Input Fields

This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating these Basic Data.

Just like in almost any other program:

Company

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 9999

Enter the number of the company to which the operator is to be assigned. If you do not know the number, you can select the data record via the Search Function.

The description of the company will be displayed on the right.

Branch

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 9999

Enter the number of the branch, to which the operator is to be assigned. If you do not know the number, you can select the data record via the Search Function.

The description of the branch will be displayed on the right.

Operator

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 99999999

To add a new record, enter an unused number in this input field. For changes or deletions, the records can be retrieved by entering the number of the company, branch and the operator in the respective fields.

Each operator number has to be unique to a branch. The same operator number may, however, be defined for different branches.

The same employee no. can be linked to a variety of operators. The employee no. is programmed under Employee.

Note:

Name

Permitted input range: alphanumeric, max. 20 characters

To insert a new record, enter here the name of the operator. The description is arbitrary, but should be meaningful. After an operator record is retrieved, his name will be displayed on the screen.

This name is an abbreviated name for the operator and is used for displaying or reporting purposes only.

Employee No.

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 99999999.

This is the employee number of the operator. The nos. are updated with program Employee.

An operator can also be programmed as an employee and can be linked via the employee staff no.. However, it is also possible to link several operator nos. to  one employee.

An operator no. is linked to a configured employee by entering the employee no. If the operator is also to be programmed as an employee, change to program Employee with this button and program the new operator.

Profit center

Permitted Input range: numeric 1 - 9999

Enter the number of the profit center to which the turnover of the operator is to be transferred.

Note:

Decl.entry para(meter)

Permitted input range: numeric 1 - 9999

Enter the number of the declared entry parameter table which is to be linked to this operator.

If the number is not known, the data recorded can be selected with the Search function.

If the table has not been programmed, branch to program Decl.entry parameter with the button to the right of the arrow and program what is required.

Note:
Linkage of the declared parameters to an operator is only required for declared entry at the terminal and will only be included if the option Use SSP Declared Entry has been set in program Terminal type -> Add.data.

Click on the graphic for further help with Declared entry.

Blocked

Button active: The operator is blocked; recording on the system is no longer possible
Button deactivated: The operator is not blocked.

Supervisor

Button activated: The operator has the supervisor status.
Button deactivated: The operator has not the supervisor status.

If this button is set, the operator has the "Supervisor" status. Such an operator can execute the programs in the system, however, cannot perform the register functions using this operator number. For this reason there are no accounting figures under this operator number.

For practical reasons, an operator with "Supervisor" status should have an operator number which is outside the normal range of numbers assigned to the normal operators (without supervisor status). In this way it is possible, for example, to execute reports using the "From - To" range to exclude this supervisor from the reports.

Supervisor key

Button active: Lock position 2 is simulated.
Button deactivated: Lock position 2 is not simulated.

Certain terminal functions are – in accordance with the parametering – only permitted in lock position 2 – the supervisor lock position (e.g. Void, Receipt lay aside, Price change, etc.). If these functions are to be executed and there is no lock available (e.g. Touchscreen without operating module) this button can be activated and the lock position is simulated.

Note:

An operator can use the supervisor key function for another cashier. The recording procedure is as follows:

  1. Before the function which requires lock position is called up the operator with the supervisor key function should be called. This person then enters a unique operator no. and confirms this with the appropriate key (key code: AUTORIZE; entry on MF keyboard: <Op. no.>:AUTORIZE, with confirmation via key Pos1 (UNIX) or Return (Windows NT)).
  2. The secret no. should then be entered and confirmed. If a secret no. has not been programmed, "0" should be entered.
  3. The cashier can complete the function.

Examples can be found under Supervisor lock function: Examples.

Access other GCs

Button activated : The operator can access the guest checks of the other operators, cashiers or waiters.
Button deactivated : The operator can access his own GCs. ´

Note:

An attempt to take over another GC without this button having been set is rejected by the system with message Other operator.

PIN enforced

Button activated: The input of the PIN number is mandatory at sign on to the system, as well as log-on during sales transactions and running background jobs. The button should also be activated if enforced waiter pen is to be parametered for a waiter. Information on sign-on with secret no. and enforced waiter pen can be found under Sign on.
Button deactivated: Even when the operator is assigned a PIN number, entry of the PIN number is not enforced.

Training Mode

Button activated: If this button is on, the operator works in the training mode.
Button deactivated: The operator is not working in the training mode.

In the training mode, all posting functions carried out on the cash register will not affect the actual accounting or stock data in the system.

A training surcharge can be assigned in the Branch. This amount will be added to the receipt total to prevent these recordings being mixed up with real recordings.

Service

Button active: The turnover of a waiter programmed as Head waiter will be recorded to this person.
Button deactivated: The turnover of a head waiter is booked for the waiter for whom the head waiter made the recording.

External Service

This is not used at the moment.

Head Waiter

Button activated : The operator has the head waiter status.
Button deactivated : The operator is not a head waiter.

A waiter with a head waiter status can sign on another waiter by entering his waiter number. The turnover is booked for the waiter. If a head waiter signs on under his own number, the turnover is booked on his account if button Service has also been set. If not, all recordings will be acknowledged with the message "Wrong key".

Note:

Independent of whether a head waiter has signed on under his own no. or the no. of another waiter the profile of the head waiter is always called up during the recording.

The waiter no. can be changed in a Guest Check if the button Access other GC has been set for the appropriate waiter.

Please note:
An operator with status "Head waiter" can change the information in the sales screen with keyboard event <ENTERHWD> to display the Table for all profit centers in the branch.

The following prerequisites should apply if this function is to be used:

Button activated : A GC is automatically opened.
Button deactivated : A GC is not automatically opened.

With this parameter you can define whether a guest check should be automatically opened with the number of the waiter when the waiter signs on. Cancelling or opening a new GC is possible at any time. Guest checks can only be used if terminal type Waiter mode has been linked to this terminal.

Activation of this button is the prerequisite for use of manual table no. entry.

Item Service Charge

Button activated : Service charge is based on items.
Button deactivated : Service charge is not based on items.

The definition and calculation of service charge are based on four fields.

Basically, the following applies:

Item Service Charge is set up as follows:

  1. In the program Taxes, records other than the actual VAT's can be created whose values are to be used as percentage rates for calculating service charge.
  2. Items and Departments access via the field Service Charge (in the Selling window of the Departments maintenance program) the appropriate tax record and its percentage rate.

Please note the following instructions for the encrypted password:

  1. In the login window, the password can be contain now max. 15-aphanumeric characters.
  2. The operator password during sign on at the POS can also be 15-alphanumeric characters. It is up to the user to use only characters in the password which can be entered at the POS.
  3. If not working with fixed password (enter 0 in the field "Fixed PIN POS"), the POS will generate a automatically 4 character password which can be used for the next sign on. This PIN number will be printed in plain text only on a via USB or RS232 directly attached printer. If  there is no such printer attached to the POS, it does not make sense to work with a password  without fixed PIN.
  4. The operator mask has changed (Details 2)
  5. The PIN has changed to "Fixed PIN POS"
  6. The new input field "PIN POS" can be use together with the button "Set actual password" to generate a lost password. This only works for an operator with an existing operator state.

  8. No password is displayed in the operator state
  9. In all reports is a number of "#" displayed or printed instead of the password in plain text. No matter, how long the password really is, if the maximum length in the format specification is E.g. 7, it will be printed "#######"
  10. If MICROS OSCAR POS will be used with a SQL database, it must be ensured that the necessary entries in "oscar.ini" or "oscar.def" must be encrypted  (see document Passwod security).

Please note that display of and changes to the PIN are dependent on the Operator level.

This is the personal identification number of a maximum 10 digits for the purpose of signing on at the terminal and running background jobs. This number has to be entered at signing on only if the button PIN enforced is set.

The value of 0 means that the operator can work with a variable PIN number, i.e. the PIN for the next sign-on is provided after the sign-off. Every other entry is interpreted by the system as a firm PIN. Further information can be found in the section Sign On.

Note:

Password Backoffice

Entry range permitted: alphanumeric, max. 15 pos.

Attention!

Since release OSCAR_POS45_048, passwords are stored encrypted in the database.

  2. The operator password during sign on at the POS can also be 15-alphanumeric characters. It is up to the user to use only characters in the password which can be entered at the POS.
  3. If not working with fixed password (enter 0 in the field "Fixed PIN POS"), the POS will generate a automatically 4 character password which can be used for the next sign on. This PIN number will be printed in plain text only on a via USB or RS232 directly attached printer. If  there is no such printer attached to the POS, it does not make sense to work with a password  without fixed PIN.
  4. The operator mask has changed (Details 2)
  5. The PIN has changed to "Fixed PIN POS"
  6. The new input field "PIN POS" can be use together with the button "Set actual password" to generate a lost password. This only works for an operator with an existing operator state.
