The program description deals with the following:
This program is used to update the data for the branch, i.e. programming, changing or clearing. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed.
The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application must be structured on a hierarchy basis in the same way as companies also have to be organised.
Structuring work must be implemented before the system can be used. The depth of the structures and the levels which are to be programmed depend on the organisation of the company concerned.
The graphic Self-service or hospitality shows the hierarchy layout and the sequence which needs to be adhered to during structuring work. If one level is linked to another, this level must already have been programmed. The user can change to the appropriate update program by clicking on the buttons to be able to program superior organisation levels.
The branch is the third-highest level in the system after Licensee and Company. A total of 9999 branches can be assigned. The exact definition of the branch level depends solely on the organisational structure of the company as does the number of branches to be programmed. At least one branch must be programmed because otherwise no "Profit centre", "Terminal" etc. can be programmed.
Note:
Before initial programming of the system
structure begins, a plan of the required "Consolidation" of
structures should be drawn up (consolidation because inferior levels are
consolidated into superior levels).
Example:
Terminals / terminal types are linked to a profit centre, a profit centre is
linked to a branch, and branches are linked to a company.
Tip: It is often advisable
to select the numbers of the various levels so that they give an idea of the
linkage.
Example:
Company 1 is assigned branch nos. 11, 12, 13, etc.. Branch no. 11 is
assigned profit centres 110, 111, 112, etc..
The following sequence applies:
There are cross references which should be considered. These will be referred to in the individual program descriptions, e.g. the Installation (from menu System, Configuration) should be completed before a new branch is programmed.
The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.
As with nearly all other programs the following also applies here:
Entry range permitted: numeric 1 - 9999
Enter the number of the company to which this branch is to be/has been linked. The name of the company is shown on the right. No branch can be programmed without this link.
If the number is not known, the data record can be selected with Search.
Entry range permitted: numeric 1 - 99999
A free no. should be entered in this field if a new branch is to be programmed. The number entry must be easy to identify. A branch can only be linked to one company, but a company can have several branches linked to it. Several profit centres can be linked to one branch.
If changes or clear operations are necessary, the data record should be called up from entry of a number in the key fields. If the number is not known, the data record can be selected with the Search.
Note:
The selected branch ID nos. should reflect the
link to the company (see example above).
Entry range permitted: max. 20 alphanumeric pos.
If a new text is to be programmed, enter the name of the branch in this field. If a change or clear operation is required, the name will appear after entry of the branch no.. The text entry is optional. If a name is entered, please ensure that this is shown in the program menu.
Entry range permitted: numeric 1 - 9999
The MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application allows for very flexible pricing. A price list can be linked to a company and this then applies in all branches. A price list can also be assigned to each individual branch or to a whole group of branches. These special price lists have priority over a price list on a superior level. More details on pricing can be found under Price list.
Enter the number of the price list to be linked to the branch in field "Price list". If the price list has not been programmed, branch into the update program Price list with the button to the right of the arrow and program the price list.
Organisation level |
Price list |
Validity |
Company |
Price list 1 |
Valid for the company |
Branch group |
Price list 2 |
Valid for a group of branches (has priority over the price list of the superior company). |
Branch |
Price list 3 |
Valid for a special branch (has priority over the price list of the superior branch group). |

Entry range permitted: numeric 1 - 99999
Enter the number of the installation to be linked, i.e. the installation must have been completed before a branch is programmed.

If this has not already been done, double click on the button to the right of the arrow to change to update program Installation to allow for a new installation to be completed.
Entry range permitted: numeric 1 - 9999
Enter the number of the stock to be linked. The linked stock table and the types of stock contained in it defines which items are linked to which stocks.
Note:
If the same stock link is to apply to all items
in the branch, only one stock table needs to be linked to one branch. However,
a stock table can be linked to each profit centre
and each terminal if a different stock link is to
apply for the same item.
If a stock is to be linked but none has yet been programmed, double click on the button to the right of the arrow and change to the update program Stock table to allow new data to be programmed.
Entry range permitted: numeric 1 - 99999999
Enter the number of the address under which a new branch is to be programmed in the system.

linked to specific branches.
Entry range permitted: numeric 1 - 99999
A branch can be linked to a specific country (e.g. Italy) thus allowing for assignment of country-specific parameters if these differ from the settings in the branches of the company (e.g. Switzerland). The domestic currency, the second payment type, service charge and bonus type, VAT and other country-specific taxes can be set.
The settings for the country-specific VAT and other taxes should be entered in update program Application -> Department -> Dept/country or in update program Application -> Item -> Item/country.

without a date entry and is confirmed with key <ST>.
Field with firmly defined selection options
All changes to basic data are stored in the database table. When a translog type is defined, this is associated with programming of a protocol which stores the changes of basic data. The translog type is principally an "electronic journal" for the back office sector. This is the counterpart to the electronic journal on terminal level which lists recordings at the checkout.. The transaction type is not linked to button Send electr. journal. The change protocol of the background system can be called up with report "Transaction list ADM" (via menu "Report" -> "Statistics turnover").
The following selection options are open:

Enter the number of the sub server processing unit. If the number is not known, the data record can be selected with Search.
Please ensure that the processing unit is type Sub server when linking the processing unit (see update program System -> Configuration -> Process unit).
Note:
Sub server processing units should only be used
in conjunction with external databases (MS-SQL /Oracle) as scaled configuration
is possible.
Sub server processing units for use of the ISAM database do not provide any
speed advantages when processing transactions at the terminal.
Sub server processing units are used for parallel
processing of transactions in an installation and thus increase performance.
Configuration of sub server processing units is only advisable if several
branches belong to one installation. In this case, each branch can be linked to
a sub server processing unit for processing transactions.
A sub server processing unit is linked in update program Application ->
Organisation -Branch -> Add.data in field "Subserver".
Several sub server processing units can be configured on the same system unit
or can be assigned to individual system units.

The extended Backwelt time recording includes 2 types of duty trips (trip to bank or the post office, but on behalf of the company). Duty trip 1 must be initiated and finalised by the user (DUTYTRIP;1 trip begins => DUTYTRIP; 1 again at the end of the trip).
Duty trip 2 is a so-called subsequent trip (branch manager goes to the bank after closing). The time stated in field DutyTrip 2 is then added to the time worked after the appropriate key has been depressed on the POS (DUTYTRIP;2) (NEWCOMES; NEWGOES). As the distance to the bank can differ from branch to branch this time must be set individually.
