Remarks on the Program Function
By use of this program, you can maintain the data for the text blocks, i.e. create new data records, modify or delete existing data. You can also view already stored data for information purposes.
Text blocks are needed for the following forms:
- Header and foot for the Graphical Receipt Print on a Line Printer.
- Standard text for the supplier orders via e-mail.
- Additional item information (see Item -> Linkage -> Additional Info)
Orders from a supplier can be printed out and sent via post, fax or e-mail. When sending e-mails, you can replace the standard text (e.g. "Enclosed please find our order") by your own text blocks.
Via the Editor button, you can open a text input window in which you can enter the e-mail message for the supplier order.

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.
