Help on Customer Orders

The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application allows to work on customer orders at both the POS terminal and the administration terminal and also in the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS Web Shop.

The customer orders are generally received and recorded at the POS terminal. Customer orders recorded via e-mail, fax or telephone can be viewed at the administration terminal in the update program Application -> Customer -> Customer Order and processed in the update program Application -> Customer -> Customer Order Processing.

The settlement of a customer invoice with a „Credit“ payment type can be carried out at the administration terminal via the update program Payment Group.
