Remarks on the Program Function

By use of this program, you can maintain positions for shrinkage, i.e. create new data records, modify or delete existing data. You can also view already stored data for information purposes.

Basically, a shrinkage consists of two parts: the formal data and the concrete items of a shrinkage.

Attention:
Shrinkage can also be booked at the terminal if the function "SHRINKAGE" has been set up via a related key. Shrinkage booked at the terminal can be closed at the administration terminal if it has not been closed at the terminal by use of the function "SHRINKAGEC".

Proceed as follows to carry out shrinkage at the administration terminal:

In a first step, the formal data are entered via the program Shrinkage, i.e. you define an internal shrinkage number, a branch and a profit center number, the date and time etc. Basically, you create a form in which the actual entries, the shrinkage positions, are still missing, though.

In the second step, you make the missing entries. These are the items that are assigned to the shrinkage. This assignment is carried out via this program.

Notes:

The Shrinkage is only finished correctly after the button Execute in the tool bar has been clicked on after saving or when a shrinkage which has been booked at the terminal is closed by use of the function "SHRINKAGEC". The shrinkage then receives the state Confirmed.
Please note:
After you have confirmed a shrinkage, you can still view the data but you cannot change it.

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.
