Chapter 10: Setting Up Application Areas

Purpose: Application areas and application groups are used to group similar menu options, system control values and secured features.

Application areas categorize related functions, such as all functions that relate to the Purchase Order application area, Inventory application area, Order Entry application area, etc.

Application groups further define the functions within an application area. An example of an application area may be O/E (Order Entry); an example of an application group within the O/E application area may be FRE (freight).

When the software is delivered to you, MICROS will have assigned application areas and application groups to menu options, system control values, and secured features in an effort to group these parameters and options by functional area.

Example: If you enter O/E in the Appl Area field and FRT in the Appl Group field, all options contained within the Order Entry application area that relate to freight appear on the screen.

Example: If you select the system control values for the Inventory application area and entered P/I in the Grp field, all system control values within the Inventory application area that relate to physical inventory will display on the screen.
