    Sub Level Popup

    Select the Sub Level of the transaction that becomes active after ordering a menu item from the menu item class.

    HALO

    Enter the High Amount Lock Out value for menu items in the class. This value is the total dollar amount of the items that are being ordered.

    Pricing Calculation
    Select the calculation method to use for pricing menu items in the class.

    • To base the price on the amount entered, select 0 - Based on entered count

    • To base the price on the rounded up count, select 1 -Based on sales count when sales rounded up.

    Count Display
    Select the manner in which the amount appears for a decimal item on the workstation and printers.

    • 0 - Show entered amount

    • 1 - Show sales count amount with entered count as reference

      The count for an item can be entered as a decimal. There are two counts kept for an item; the entered amount, and the sales count. The sales count is always the entered amount if the entered amount is a whole number. If the entered amount is not a whole number then the sales count is the entered amount, only rounded up. For example, if a user enters 1.5, then the entered amount is 1.5 and the sales count is 2. This field determines whether the entered amount or the sales count appears on workstations and printers.

    Count Entry

    Select the way that workstation operators can enter the sales count of an item in the class.

    Print Group

    Enter the Print Group (1-99). The sorting mechanism uses this value for receipt printing, check detail, and order output devices. When the items are set to use groups for sorting, the items appear from lowest group number to highest.

    Print Class

    Select the print class for the menu item class.

    If the Condiment Prefix Type is set to anything except 0 - Not a Prefix, prefix condiments follow the same print class setting chosen for the condiment with which they are associated.

    Kds Highlight Scheme

    Select the KDS Highlight Scheme color to display menu items on the KDS.

    Condiment Prefix Type

    Select the prefix type associated with the condiment type.

    Next Page/Panel
    Select a Page or Panel that the order screen switches to after a menu item associated with this class is ordered.

    • Page — From the drop-down list, select the next screen to which the workstation user is directed.

    • Panel — If you select a tabbed template, this area specifies which tab to navigate to after pressing the button.

    In order to utilize the Next Page functionality from Menu Item Classes module, Oracle MICROS recommends that you configure a Sales SLU screen in the Page Design module, and then select this newly created SLU page from the Page drop-down list and Save.

    Ensure that menu items are assigned the proper SLU from their Menu Item Definition record and that allows you to order the menu item from the SLU page.

    If you want a hard-coded menu item key to navigate to another page, then configure the Next Page/Panel fields for the actual menu item key in the Page Design module.

    Enter the maximum number of refills allowed (up to 99).
