Remarks on the Program Function

By use of this program you can maintain the data of the time period records in the system, i.e. insert new records, edit and delete the existing ones. You can also display the data on the screen for enquiry only.

Program Time periods to which you can branch from Company allows you to set up a maximum of 99 periods per day. The turnover recorded during these periods is stored separately and can be retrieved via a variety of reports (e.g. in menu Item Report Statistic).

Note!
Please bear in mind that these periods are company-related. Program Time period 2 applies to branch-related periods which are used at present for the export data of the staff planning program PEP.

NOTE:
In addition, the appropriate period (day, week, month or year) must be activated in program Parameter -> Misc. Parameter -> Statistic parameter for the statistic TimeTurnBrch or TimeTurnProc to ensure that the statistical values for periods are stored.

Remarks on the Input Fields

This paragraph will provide a short overview over the options available for updating this basc 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.

Company

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 9999

Number of the company for which the time periods are to be defined.

Time Periods

Permitted input range: numeric, 1 - 99

To add a new record, enter an unused number in the Key Fields.

For changes or deletions, the records can be retrieved by entering the numbers in the key fields. If you do not know a number, you can also select the data record via the Search Function.

Descriptor

Permitted input range: alphanumeric, max 20 characters

When inserting a new record enter the name of the time period. The description is arbitrary, but should be eloquent.

For changes or deletions, the name will be displayed automatically on the screen after the record is retrieved.

Start Time

Permitted input range: HHMMSS (hour, minute, second)

This is the starting time of the time period. The end of the time period is automatically determined by the starting time of the next time period. A time period may cross the end of the day (12 p.m.).
