The program description deals with the following:
- Remarks on Program function
- Remarks on Data fields
- Use the Index to find the field explanation required
Remarks on program function
The flight data can be updated, i.e. created, changed or deleted, with this program. Data which has already been stored can also be displayed.
Note:
The data for the airport is stored in the system and is needed for purchases of
duty-free goods at the airport. A background system provides this data in ASCII
format which is then imported via the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS ASCII interface.
Click
on the graphic for further help with setting up a Duty-free
system.
Remarks on data fields
All options available for update of the basic data have been described below.
As with nearly all programs the following also applies here:
- The entry mask in the application program may differ for this program. Some data fields may be missing
- There may be some defaults or firmly defined selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current program.
- The entry mask contains fields where entry is optional and fields with enforced entry defined.
- If the data record is updated over several pages of entry masks, the dialog window is reached by clicking onto 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 "Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with <Mouse key 1> depending on the setting. Activated switches have a dark top, deactivated switches are lighter.

Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 9999
Enter a number to identify the company for which the flight data is to be processed.
If changes or deletions are necessary the data record can be called up from a number entry in the key fields. An unknown data record can be selected via the Search function.
Branch
Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 99999
Enter a number to identify the branch for which the flight data is to be processed.
If changes or deletions are necessary the data record can be called up from a number entry in the key fields. An unknown data record can be selected via the Seach function.
Flight no.
Entry range permitted: alphanumeric, max. 8 chars.
Enter the flight no. for which the flight data is to be processed.
If changes or deletions are necessary the data record can be called up from a number entry in the key fields. An unknown data record can be selected via Search function.
Valid at
Entry range permitted: DDMMYYYY (day, month, year)
Enter the data for the flight date.
Note:
The validity of a flight is not dependent on the validity date and the time. A
flight is valid from 18:00 hrs. the previous day to 06:00 hrs on the following
day. If date t 31.12.2099 is entered this flight data is still valid.
Destination airport
Entry range permitted: decimal, max. 11 pos.
Select a destination airport by clicking on the field and with a second click confirming the option selected.
The destination airport and the airport data are imported by a background system via the ASCII interface and can be updated via Application -> Organisation -> Airport.
Note:
The destination airport has a code linked to it which defines whether the destination is inland (I), within the EU (E), outside the EU (N) or on the Canary Islands (K). This code defines the price for items sold in the duty-free sector. If an item priced at "0.00" is sold in the duty-free shop this recording is rejected with message "Iteem blocked". Cigarettes, for example, cannot be purchased for inland flights. This item is priced "0.00" in the standard price level and items with this price can only be sold in the duty-free sector for flight destination codes "N" or "K". In this case the spezial price level 1 is selected for this item.
Flight dest.code
Field with firmly defined selection options
The code for the destination airport is shown in this field.
The codes imply the following:
- I = Inland
- N= Non-EU country
- E = EU country
- K = Canary Islands
Note:
The price finding for sales of goods in the duty-free sector is dependent on
the linked code for the destination.
- If the destination is part of an EU country or is an inland airport (code "E" or "I") the standard price level of the linked price list will be assigned to the item.
- If the destination is a non-EU country or the Canary Islands (code "N" or "K") spezial price level 1 of the linked price list will be assigned to the item.
If an item priced at "0.00" is sold in the duty-free shop this recording is rejected with message "Iteem blocked". Cigarettes, for example, cannot be purchased for inland flights. This item is priced "0.00" in the standard price level and items with this price can only be sold in the duty-free sector for flight destination codes "N" or "K". In this case the spezial price level 1 is selected for this item.
