Terminal

The following program description deals with:

Remarks on the Program Function

The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application must have a hierarchy structure similar to the organizational structure of business entities for practical and programming reasons.

This structure must be set up before the system is used. The extent of this structure and the levels which must be created depend on the company structure.

The illustrations, Self-Service Sector and Hospitality Sector, show the hierarchy structure. These illustrations indicate the order in which this structure must be formed: If one level is assigned to another level, then the latter must already exist in the system. Despite this requirement, you can exit a maintenance program by left-clicking the appropriate screen button and create a higher organization level.

Integrated terminal systems must be defined in your company, whereby terminals are assigned to companies, branches and profit centers. It is also necessary to define terminal types. The tables (printers, dispensers, etc.) to be connected with the defined terminals must also be specified.

In principal, the following order applies:

  1. Define the Licensee by entering a short description, name, etc.
  2. Create Companies.
  3. Create Branches and assign them to existing companies.
  4. Create Profit Centers and assign them to existing branches.
  5. Create terminals and assign them to existing profit centers.

Note:
The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application allows the user to display the terminal state for all terminals in an installation permanently in a dedicated window. The operator status and the turnover recorded for this terminal and the status of server and backup server are displayed in addition to the status Terminal On/Offline.
