The program description deals with the following:
The extensive data of an item record is updated in several dialog windows which can be opened directly from the update program Item.
The individual dialog windows are described as follows:
In addition the user can go to the appropriate information from the following update programs:
Update of basic data, i.e. programming, changes or clearing, is possible in this program. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed for information.
A maximum of 5 Organisation steps can be created in the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program.
Items are compiled into departments. A minimum of 2 organisation steps should be programmed, i.e. department and main department. All other superior organisation steps such as section, main section and sector are optional.
Departments should be programmed before programming of items begins.
Note:
All items are linked to departments, all departments
are linked to main departments, all main departments are linked to sections,
all sections are linked to main sections and all main sections are linked to
sectors.
The correct sequence must be adhered to:
There are further links which will be dealt with in the appropriate program description. For example, the price list must have been programmed before an item can be created, the VAT rates must have been programmed before departments are created.
The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.
As with nearly all programs the following also applies here:

Field with firmly defined selection options
Select a quantity unit which should be printed on a label as comparative details. If a quantity unit is selected in this field, a value should also be entered in field Contents so that the comparative quantity can be printed on the label.
Example:
The article is sold in a quantity unit of 0,75
litre. If the price per litre is to be printed on the label, the unit 1.0 litre
should be selected in the quantity unit field to allow the value 0.75 to be
entered in field Contents.

Entry range permitted: alphanumeric max. 32 pos.
Only enter a text for captions for the preset keys in this field if you work with sales program ECR. This program uses an internal touch layout in which the article preset keys are linked to departments 1 to 10, i.e. only article preset keys for articles can be shown on the screen if they are linked to these departments. The key texts for these articles should be entered in this field.
The key captions should not exceed 3 lines of 6 characters each. After entry of 6 characters "\n" should be entered for a line return.

etc.) is used to the standard layout "Sales", the key links, key
definition and key texts should be executed with the following update programs:
Entry range permitted: alphanumeric max. 12 pos.
When a new item is programmed, the first 12 positions from the field Name will be transferred to this field. Any other text can also be entered as the search code.
For example, all beers and associated drinks are linked to Beer to allow for a search for this group of items.
New item search codes can be entered via Report->Basic data-> Create item match code. In this case, the text from the field Name will become the match code.
Note:
A search for an item is started in the sales program with key
<MATCH> which should be programmed on the keyboard. This key is then used
in conjunction with key <SEARCHART> as follows:

Switch active: This item is included in the operator statistics
Switch deactivated: This item is not included in the operator statistics
This switch must be activated to provide data for the following reports:
Switch active: This item is an "open item"
Switch deactivated: This item is not an "open item"; it has a firmly defined price
An "open item" is one to which no firm price is linked. A price entry will be requested when this item is called up.
If a price is linked to an "open item" this price is the upper entry limit; a price entry is however required.
Switch active: There will be no count of quantities in the item turnover statistics.
Switch deactivated: The count for this item is shown in the item turnover reports.
Set this option if no count of quantities is required for this item, e.g. tandem item.
Switch active: This item has a deposit linked to it
Switch deactivated: This item does not have a deposit linked to it and will not be accepted with a bottle return recording.
Deposit items are marked accordingly and are shown separately in reports. Link deposit items to those departments which are also defined for bottle deposit.
NOTE:
Deposit articles can be recorded and
administered differently in the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS system. One option is
to record the returned goods and to issue a voucher for the deposit receipt or
to generate a deposit receipt with a bar code. An ECR can also be dedicated to
deal only with deposits.
More details on voucher sales for deposit receipts and deposit receipts with bar code print can be found under Deposit receipt with voucher print and Deposit goods with bar code receipt.
Switch active: The quantity sold can be changed during recording of this item
Switch deactivated: No change to quantity sold during recording.
Note:
A specified sales
unit is linked to each item. The linked sales unit is a base unit with a
specific content defined in the update program Quantity
unit.
If the option Content overwrite is activated, the content can be overwritten when this item is sold.
Example:
Item 50 Whisky has a sales unit of 4 cl. If this
item is to be sold with another unit, e.g. 2 cl, the item recording should be 50.2.
NOTE!
Please note that in field "Content" the sales unit of this item must
be a multiple of the base unit. Overwriting an item quantity with a decimal
content leads to incorrect results.
The following quantity units must be stored in the system for the example of item 50 with a standard sales quantity of 4 CL.

"PLU not found" items are items which are stored temporarily . and marked as "PLU not found" after they have been recorded if the system cannot find them in the database.
The number of the Default department for items recorded under PLU not found is defined under additional data in the update program Company.
These temporarily programmed items then have to be programmed under Item. The items marked as PLU not found should then be linked to the correct department and the VAT rate defined for this department. The turnover recorded for the PLU not found items is transferred to the correct department by the DEFAULT department.
Switch active:. This item appears at the linked active place of preparation
