       Note:

       For users who previously entered text in the Country and State/Region fields in the Properties and RVC Configuration modules prior to performing an upgrade to this release, Oracle MICROS Food and Beverage recommends (after upgrading) to access each Property and Revenue Center individually and update these fields using the drop-down lists now provided there. In an effort to make it easier for users to view the prior text entries for these fields, the old text is shown in red font in the Country and State/Region fields. Once completed, Data Transfer Service (DTS) jobs update the R&A database with the new settings.
    8. Country: Select the country in which the property is located from the drop-down list.

       Attention:

       When a country is first selected in the Country field and then saved, you cannot go back to assign a null or empty field again.
    9. State/Region: Select the state or region in which the property is located from the drop-down list.
    10. ZIP/Postal Code: Enter the ZIP or postal code for the property.
    11. Latitude and Longitude: Enter the latitude and longitude coordinates for the property in each respective field.

    13. Click Save.
14. In the Oracle MICROS Reporting and Analytics section, select the location configured in the reporting database from the Report Location drop-down list. The Oracle MICROS Reporting and Analytics database determines the locations that appear in the list.
    1. To add a location, click New, and then enter the appropriate information. An administrator must then add the information to the Reporting and Analytics property list in order to run reports.
    2. To change an existing location, click Edit, and then enter the appropriate information.

       If you change the report location for a live location, update the corresponding Simphony Transaction Services API account in Oracle MICROS Reporting and Analytics to use the same location.
