Your head office uses the Configurator to tailor the POS Xpress application to meet your specific requirements and to download changes to the server in your store.
The information that your head office downloads to your store is stored as records in tables. It is used by both the Store Manager and the POS Xpress. You can use the Store Manager to add information to tables at the store level.
Although the Store Manager is a store level management tool and the Configurator is a head office tool, they can both add or modify the information in some common tables.
Caution
Because your head office is not notified of the changes that you make to the common tables using the Store Manager, it is very important that your head office clearly define the areas for which you are responsible at the store. To avoid entering conflicting information, your store or your head office should update the information in each table. You restrict access to various Store Manager functions as described in User Authority Levels.
Both the Store Manager and the Configurator can update the following tables:
Employee
Category
Group
Department
Tare weight
ID/Code
Vendor
Store
User flag
PLU
PLU cross reference
Quantity and level pricing
Link items
Promotion
Taxes
Your head office must download three sets of parameters so that the Store Manager can function properly. They are:
Register parameters
Tender parameters
Layaway parameters
You can view information about the status of the three mandatory sets of parameters in the Configurator Parameters
window. This window also displays information about other parameters that are downloaded from the Configurator. You cannot edit the information in the window.
