You use code maintenance options to update tables which contain
defined records for POS features, functions, or supporting services such as
credit authorization services. You update a code maintenance table as one
of the steps required to configure a POS function. For example, when you need
to define the bank cards which the POS accepts, even though you use the Tender
parameters to define the bank cards, you must also set specific parameters
in the Bank Card
table of the Code
Maintenance
section.
The following is an alphabetical list of the tables available under
the Code Maintenance Tab Page
as well as a
brief description of the function they support. For more information abouteach
function, see the section for that function.
Allegiance Parameters: Used to define the interaction of the POS system with an external Allegiance database.
Back office functions: Contains a list of all back office functions supported by the POS. These functions must be implemented or hard-coded in the POS terminal configuration before they can be added to this table. Back office functions can be assigned authority levels which allow you to restrict the type of users that can access them.
Back office literals: Contains the prompt messages which are displayed at the back office. Each prompt message can be modified to support the language or terminology requirements of any environment.
Back office parameters: Define functions performed at the back office.
Bank card: Contains a list of defined bank cards accepted at the POS and their assigned system ID number. The cards listed in this table must be implemented or hard-coded at the POS before they can be added to this option.
Baud rate: Contains a list of baud rates supported by the communications program. The baud rates listed in this table must be hard-coded or implemented at the POS terminal before they can be added to this table.
Card identifiers: This function is used to
launch the Card Identifiers Maintenance Screen
which
is used to specify an identifier for each category of gift card (such as co-brand,
personal, corporate, promotional and so forth.)
Connect message: Contains a list of all the 'Connection' and 'No connection' messages that can be returned from the modem. Connect messages must be implemented or hard-coded at the POS before they can be added to this table.
(Credit) Authorization modem: This option allows you to define a modem configuration. For more information, see Authorization Modems.
Credit service: Contains a list of the active credit authorization services supporting credit transactions.
Discount type: Contains a list of all defined types of discounts which can be handled at the POS terminal. These must be implemented or hard-coded at the POS before they can be added to this table.
Denomination groups: Contains a list of defined denominations per type of tender item.
Edit mask: Contains a list of all masking definitions supported at the POS terminal. They must be implemented or hard-coded at the POS before they can be added to this table. Edit masks are used to set up functions which capture data at the POS terminal to ensure that information is accurately captured and consistently formatted.
External components: Contains parameters which identify any external component that may be accessed during a transaction at the POS terminal.
Modem list: Contains parameters which define a head office polling modem.
POS codes: Contains a list of codes that define database access features that are displayed as choices for configurable elements such as Tender or Pending transactions. These features are hard-coded in the Configurator application.
POS functions: Contains a list of all defined
POS terminal functions. The Key Description field
contains
the description of the POS function that is displayed on the keyboard.
POS literals: Contains all the prompt messages which are displayed and/or printed at the POS terminal. Each prompt message can be modified to support the language or terminology requirements of any environment.
POS/MGR function: Contains a list of all manager codes supported at the POS terminal. These must be implemented or hard-coded at the POS terminal before they can be added to this table.
Pricing Target Types: Defines the pricing target types used in promotion and mix-match definitions.
Region: Contains a list of all defined regions.
Store: Provides input fields for setting up stores. The stores must be defined before they can be added to this table.
Terminal reports: Contains a list of reports available at the POS and the corresponding manager codes which launch them. All POS reports must be associated with a manager code. The reports listed in this table must be implemented or hard-coded at the POS before they can be added to this table.
Voucher agents: Contains a list of all voucher
agents supporting stored value card accounts. They must be implemented or
hard-coded at the POS before they can be added to this table. This information
is required to update the Voucher Agent field

page for User Defined Transaction
configuration.
