Operation Mode
The following program description deals with:
By use of this program you can maintain the data for the
transaction types 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.
As a standard, MICROS Retail OSCAR POS offers different categories of
transaction types. Transaction types are grouped under categories and defined
in this program. Categories can be Standard Sale, On the House Sale, Returns,
etc..
The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application offers the following categories
of operation modes in the standard version:
·
On the house
·
Returns
·
Warranty
·
Selection
·
Sales return
The link to Terminal type and further options must
be created via program Operation Parameter.
Apart from the posting types that are illustrated in the
field description of Normal Sale, 3 different
types of transaction are distinguished:
- Stock
administration:
This transaction type changes the posting mode when the items are posted
at the sales terminals (see Normal Sale).
Example:
A normal sales transaction will increase the turnover while decreasing the
stock level. A return transaction will decrease the turnover and increase
the stock level.
- Financial
transactions:
This transaction type does not affect the turnover figures.
Example:
Coupon sale, Pay in, Pay out, etc.
- Input
procedures:
This transaction type activates an input format that has to be followed,
including mandatory fields without changing the way of posting. Input
procedures are always related to line items.
Note on Voids:
- A
void is not a transaction type, it merely reverses the prefix of a Normal Sales posting.
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.

turnover, no. of discounts and the discount value also increase.

reversed for a return. The return is recorded from entry of the

(nn = number of transaction type category Returns).
- Warranty claim
This
transaction type is used to record warranty cases. The number of this
transaction type is entered with event <fWARRCLAIM;nnn> (nnn
= number of transaction type of category Warranty claim). Further
