Central DTM

DTM orders are created in head office (main installation) with the DTM client of MICROS Retail OSCAR POS and these are then started there at defined intervals.

In certain cases it is also possible to send DTM orders from the branch (sub-installation) to head office where these can then be executed.

The following steps are necessry for this type of DTM order:

• HEAD OFFICE (main installation)
  Creation of a new DTM order in head office
• The option "Central DTM" must be activated in program Application -> DTM ->DTM order.
• The DTM order must be sent to the correct branch with function "Update Installation" to ensure that this DTM order can be created there.

• BRANCH (sub-installation)
  In the branch orders for which the option "Central DTM" has been activated can be called up with report "Central DTM" in program Application -> DTM -> DTM order -> Report. This report can be called up manually by the operator or can be included in a chaining report with a "Scheduler".
• The option "As soon as possible" should be set as the interval for the report "Central DTM". This ensures that the DTM order can be executed immediately after it has been sent by head office.

Example:

Normally, function "Update Installation" is only carried out once daily in head office so that the latest basic data from head office is available in the branch.

If a branch needs to receive new basic data at any time from head office a DTM order (UPDATEINSTALLATION) is sent by the branch to head office. This is done in the branch manually with report Application -> DTM -> DTM Order -> Report "Central DTM" or by including this report in a chaining report which is called up with a "Scheduler".
