Reports on Till
The
following description deals with:
In
addition to the standard reports 1 – 7 which are called up via the
<REPORT> key in the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application, it is also possible to call up
additional reports and/or report chains with keys "RECREP",
"AUTOREP" and CHAINREP at the checkout.
The
reports for keys "RECREP", "AUTOREP" and
"CHAINREP" are parametered in program Parameter -> Misc. Parameter
-> Terminal reports.
The
MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application allows the user to call up the following reports with the
<REPORT> key:
·
REPORT;1
"Open GC's Short" Short report on open GC's for the signed on
operator.
·
REPORT;2
"Open GC's long" Detailed report on open GC's for the signed on
operator.
·
REPORT;3
"Cashier short report".
·
REPORT;4
"Cashier short report"
·
REPORT;5
"Version scale"
·
REPORT;6
"Short report new period". Cashier short report with switch-over to
new booking period.
·
REPORT;7
Cash declared report
In
addition to the reports stated above, the user can also call up reports/report
chains via keys "RECREP", "AUTOREP" and CHAINREP at the
checkout and these can be printed out on the connected terminal printer. (They
cannot be displayed). The report is called up normally from entry of a no. and
depression of the appropriate code function key.
The
following requirements have to be met to be able to call these reports:
- In the window Keys,
the key codes (RECREP(n), AUTOREP(n)
and CHAINREP(n) have to be created.
- If you would like to call the report at the
terminal by use of a single-track key, you have to enter the report
number in Data.
- The entry in Data
can be left out if you would like to start the report by use of a
double-track key (<Number><Function key>) or press the
function key first to select the related report from the appearing
selection window (does not apply to CHAINREP(n)).
- In program Parameter -> Misc.Parameter ->
Terminal reports the key codes must be linked to the terminal reports to
be executed. For this purpose, enter the key code via which the report is
to be called in Report Chains.
Details can be found further below.
In Position, enter the number to
be entered at the terminal before the code key is pressed (exception: key
code CHAINREP(n), cp. Position
CHAINREP(n)).
In Appl.Name, select the report(s)
to be printed.
- During the configuration of the key codes AUTOREP(n) and CHAINREP(n), pre-settings are
necessary – you have to define them in the sub-window
"Parameter".
- Every terminal report has to be definitely
included in the Statistic Parameters; the
related option (e.g. Day) has to be activated.
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:
- 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.
Field with firmly defined selection options
Select
the key code, which is yet to be defined or has already been defined in the
window Keys.
RECREP(n)
- By use of this key code, "normal"
reports are called for which there are no pre-settings in the sub-window
"Parameter" necessary. The reports are configured in such a way
that a selection window in which you have to enter the items to be queried
appears first. The report output follows afterwards.
AUTOREP(n)
- This key function has the effect that the report
is started without a selection window being opened. The related
pre-settings (= selection criteria) are maintained in the sub-window
"Parameter". The Parameter
input is mandatory.
CHAINREP(n)[1, 2,
... 9]
- By use of this key code, report chains are
printed. All reports assigned to this key code will be printed. Entries in
the sub-window "Parameter" are mandatory.
- By default, there are 9 key functions of the type
CHAINREP(n).
Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 9999
To
AUTOREP(n) and RECREP(n) applies:
- Every report to be called by use of the related
key code has to be created with a number. The number can be chosen at
will.
- The position number is the number with which the
report is called at the terminal (number><key code>. If you would
like to call the report by use of a single-track key (i.e. pressing the
function key leads directly to the report output), the position number has
to be entered in Data in the window Keys.
To CHAINREP(n)[1, 2 ..] applies:
- Every report to be embedded in one of the 9
report chains has to be entered with a position number. Per key function,
several position numbers, i.e. several reports, can be created and will be
processed at the terminal in a subsequent order.
- In contrast to the two other key functions, the
report chain is not called by the input of the position number but by the
input of the number that succeeds the key code in the field Report Chain.
For example: The report chain defined with CHAINREP(n)2 would be called by
entering the 2 and pressing the appropriate function key. If a report
chain is to be called directly, you would have to enter the "2"
in the field Data in the window Keys as well.
Permitted input range: alphanumeric, max. 20 chars.
A
click on the arrow button opens a window in which you can select the desired
report.
The
available reports can also be viewed via the List of all Reports.
Note:
- The reports / report chains can only be printed
if the so-called Hardtotal options in the window Statistic
Parameters have been activated. This means that the data of the
related time period is always present. In order to e.g. call a monthly
report, the option "month" has to be activated.
A
click on this button takes you to the sub-window Parameter. There you can define the
pre-selections necessary for the key functions AUTOREP(n) and CHAINREP(n).
To
all key functions applies:
- If you have entered a number in the field Data in the window Keys, pressing the function key at the terminal
has the effect that the report is directly printed out / called. With
AUTOREP(n) and RECREP(n), the Position
Number must be entered. With CHAINREP(n), the number following the key
code has to be entered. For example.: With CHAINREP(n)2, the "2"
would have to be entered in Data.
- If you have not made an entry in Data in the window Keys,, the report cannot be called directly. In
this case, enter the number entered in Position
at the terminal and confirm by use of the related function key.
Key Code RECREP(n)
- When you enter the (positions) number and then
press the function key, you will be prompted for the entry of the From/To
Item No. Enter the numbers, and confirm with "ST". The output
follows via the receipt printer.
- You press the RECREP(n) key directly:
- You have configured only one RECREP(n) function
and have entered its position number in the window Keys:
A selection window appears, in which you are prompted for the input of
the related item numbers. Enter the numbers, and confirm with
"ST". The output follows via the receipt printer.
- You have configured multiple RECREP(n)
functions:
A window in which all reports you have assigned to the key code
RECREP(n) are offered appears. Select the desired report. Then you are
prompted for the input of the related item numbers. Enter the numbers,
and confirm with "ST". The output follows via the receipt
printer.
Key Code AUTOREP(n)
- The report is put out directly after the input of
the (position) number and the confirmation via the function key.
- If you press the function key directly, a window
with all AUTOREP(n) functions will be displayed first. Select the desired
report. The output follows afterwards.
- If you have configured only one report with the
AUTOREP(n) function and have made appropriate entries in the window Keys, you can start the report directly via
pressing the function key.
Key Code CHAINREP(n)[1, 2, ...]
- By entering the report chain number and pressing
the function key, the report chain is started. The application gets the
necessary selections from the entries made in the sub-window Parameter.
