Remarks on data fields
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:
- The entry
mask for this program may differ in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program. Some data fields may be missing.
- There may be defaults or firmly defined
selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the
current program.
- Fields with enforced entry defined are to
be found in the entry masks as are fields where entry is optional.
- If the data record is updated over several
pages of entry masks, the dialog window is
reached by clicking on the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
- The same procedure also applies to call up
of another update program from this program.
- In some cases you may find so-called
"Buttons" which are activated or deactivated by the user with
<Mouse key 1>, depending on the setting. Activated buttons have a
dark top, deactivated buttons are lighter.
