Procedure documentationPrinting Recipes on Receipts

Procedure

Printing recipes on receipts is a feature that supports an in-store marketing program where customers can request a hard copy of recipes, displayed in the store, to be printed on their transaction receipt. All they need is the recipe number that appears with the recipe.

To set up the POS to print recipes, a new manager code of type 500 must be defined to invoke recipe printing, then the recipes must be entered into the database through the Policy Maintenance option of the Configurator. For more information about creating a new manager code function, see Manager POS Functions. This feature may have already been hard coded into the database prior to your installation. If not, you must set up manager code 500 first.

A series of policy numbers from 300 to 999 have been reserved for recipe printing.

Note Note

Because the process of entering recipes manually through signature lines in Policy Maintenance can be time-consuming, an automated procedure can be developed to import recipes to the database. This is not a regular user function. Consult your technical analyst for further information.

End of the note.
