General Description of the Receipt Archiving and Receipt Log on CD
The
MICROS Retail OSCAR POS application allows you to
The
receipt archiving allows you to generate files with booking/ receipt data. The
files will be generated in the ASCII format and can thus be controlled and
viewed independently from MICROS Retail OSCAR POS. The booking transactions will be recorded
in chronological order. Similar to the journal print, you can view and print
the generated data and control the booking transactions by the terminals or the
book dates. If you view the recordings via the function "Receipt Log",
you can search for particular text passages via the search function.
The
window "Receipt Archiving" can be opened via Application -> Sales.
In this window, there are various Selection
Criteria, entries in the List Window, Statuses and Functions
available.
Via
the Selection Criteria, you decide
which data (terminal, book date etc.) is to be grouped in a file via the
function "Create Receipt Log" or – if the file already exists – only
to be viewed. The selection criteria can be defined via the entries and the
activation or deactivation of options.
In
this Window, all files that have been
found via the search function will be displayed. This requires that the files
have been created via the function "Create Receipt Log".
If
you highlight a file in the list window, its status will be displayed. There
are the following 5 Statuses:
- Amended
The ASCII files have been manipulated. The option "Changed"
cannot be modified. With the automatic activation of this option, the
option "Selected" will be deactivated automatically.
- Deleted
The file has been deleted via the function "Receipt Log delete"
or via the option "Delete automatic" within the function
"Receipt Log -> CD".
- Transferred
The file has been transferred via the function "Receipt Log ->
CD". The option will only be activated if the backup has been carried
out correctly. MICROS Retail OSCAR POS carries out this examination automatically by use
of a control sum and the file length.
- Not found
If an ASCII file has been deleted manually from the directory
"TransAsc", it receives the status "Not found".
- Selected
The currently selected file receives the status "Selected", i.e.
it can be stored on CD. If the file has been changed (see option "Changed")
this option is deactivated. A storage on CD is impossible.
MICROS Retail OSCAR POS
offers you 4 Functions:
- Create Receipt Log
Via this function, the receipt data will be stored in ASCII files
according to the selection criteria. One file per terminal and day will be
created. The file name will be composed as follows:
CompanyNo._BranchNo._TerminalNo._BookingDate.asc
The files will be stored in the sub directory ../work/TransAsc which has
been created automatically during the MICROS Retail OSCAR POS installation. If a
different position or name is used, this can be changed in file
RecLogDef.fgl.
- Receipt Log display
The receipt data of the file selected in the list window will be
displayed. Via "Search", you can search for particular text
passages. This function can also be used with files that have already been
deleted from the hard disk.
- Receipt Log delete
This function should be used when the storage on CD has been successful.
- Receipt
Log-> CD
After files have been created, the ASCII files can be stored on CD. This
is to be done via the function "Receipt Log -> CD". The
storage on CD is to be understood as an independent function. There is no
obligation to store the files on CD after the receipt archiving. However,
due to the amount of data to be expected in the course of time, this
option might be useful. For the storage on CD, the program WinOnCD 3.6 is
to be used. The path to the program is recorded in file RecLogDef.fgl. The letter of the CD
recorder can be changed there too.
Subsequently, there will be an attempt to read the data from the CD. If
the data could not be read or if the wrong control sum has been
determined, the file name will be displayed on the screen and written into
a file called RecLogError in
the directory work.
- Notes
- The check for modifications to the files
requires a lot of computing time, particularly with large files.
- This check is carried out shortly before the
start of WinOnCD, during the proof reading after the end of WinOnCD and
during the selection in the main program.
