Enterprise Management Console (EMC)

Enhanced Currency and Currency Parameters Modules

The currency symbol now appears correctly on workstations, guest checks, and customer receipts when overridden at the property or zone level. The Currency and Currency Parameters modules are no longer available at the revenue center level. In addition, existing revenue center level currency data has been removed from the Enterprise Transaction database.

The Oracle Hospitality Simphony Configuration Guide contains more information about configuring currency.

Support to Allow Condiment Changes in Previous Round Items

Starting with release 18.2.2, by default, workstation operators cannot void or change previous round menu items. When option 43 - Allow Price Overrides and Modifications to Previous-Round Items is enabled in the Control Parameters module, all workstation operators may perform the following actions against parent menu items (not condiments) on previous round items:

• Menu Item Price Overrides

• Menu Item Quantity Changes

  • If Role option 25 - Authorize/Perform Void of Menu Items from a Previous Round is enabled, the operator may adjust the count up or down.

  • If Role option 25 - Authorize/Perform Void of Menu Items from a Previous Round is disabled, the operator may adjust the count up.

• Menu Level Changes

The new Role option 304 - Authorize/Perform modifications (void, price or quantity change) to previous round condiments grants the privilege to modify condiments on previous round items. If Role option 304 is enabled for a workstation operator, modifications to previous round items are allowed, including price changes, voiding a condiment, adding a condiment, or changing an existing condiment to another one (for example, change rare to medium rare). If Role option 304 is disabled, these actions apply only to current round items.

The configuration of Role option 25 does not affect option 304.

Enhanced Check SLU Sorting by Service Total Time

Starting with release 18.2.3, you can now configure the Check Screen Lookup (SLU) sort order in the Page Design module. The new sort order options allow the open check SLU to be sorted using a pre-defined sort order:

• Check Order Time (this is the default sort order)

• Table Name

• Service Total Time

The new sort option Service Total Time allows operations (for example, Drive Thru) to see checks in the order in which cars enter the drive thru, enabling workstation operators to pick up checks and service guests efficiently.

See the Oracle Hospitality Simphony Configuration Guide, specifically the Configuring Screen Look Ups for Open Checks section, and the Oracle Hospitality Simphony POS User Guide, specifically the Open Check SLU Sorting Options section for more information about this enhancement.

Support for Managing the Employee Access Level from Labor Management

Starting with release 18.2.5, support has been added to Simphony to manage the Employee Access Level from Labor Management. The Employee Access Level is set within Labor Management and is in Simphony via the Data Transfer Service (DTS) labor job.

The Employee Access Level is not manageable from the Enterprise Management Console (EMC) when Labor Management is in use. When the Employee Access Level is changed in Labor Management, it is subsequently updated in Simphony.

Enhanced Labor Shift Totals

Starting with release 18.2.7, the totals Labor Shift Regular Hours and Labor Shift Overtime Hours now print on time chits when an employee clocks out. These new totals represent the total hours worked per day for the Labor Shift.
