Function documentationMass Changes to POS Transactions

 

Use this to make mass changes to existing POS transactions.

Activities

You start the POS Workbench, define your settings, and restrict your selection area. Ensure that the view display is selected for POS transactions in the workbench and then carry out the selection.

The mass change consists of a search and subsequent replacement of data.

You have the following options for performing mass changes to POS transactions:

  • You search for and replace data in a number of POS transactions which the system displays to you after navigation in the navigation area in the folder hierarchy until the level of your choice in the overview.

    Choose Mass Changes (POS Data) in the POS transactions overview.

  • You search for and replace data in a number of POS transactions that are distributed across a specific folder, or all folders, in the navigation area.

    You can choose a specific folder or the folder of a store or posting date for the mass change. Highlight the folder of your choice and choose Mass Changes (POS Data) in the navigation area. From the list displayed, choose whether you want to perform the mass changes on the highlighted folder or all folders in the navigation area.

In both cases, the system displays a dialog box for the mass change. First specify the character string that you want to search for, then specify the character string with which you would like to replace the first. Enter the maximum number of hits or the maximum number of search results in the tree display.

You have the following options for the mass change:

  • You perform the mass change on all segments and all fields of the POS transaction.

  • You restrict the search to a specific POS transaction segment and take all fields into consideration.

  • You only perform the mass change on a specific field.

If you want to restrict the mass change to a specific field, you can reduce the fields offered by the system in the dropdown list by restricting it to a specific POS transaction segment. This results in the choice of one single field.

You can specify whether it is relevant if searches are case-sensitive or not. By selecting the relevant checkbox the system performs case-sensitive searches for specific character strings.

If you would like to take into account the intra-system format for the search and the corresponding syntax, then select the Internal Display checkbox.

Once you have set your settings, you can start the mass change search by pressing return. The result is displayed in a dialog box. The system lists all the relevant transactions including unique transaction index and field where the character string was found and sorts them into a tree structure according to store and posting date. If the search is unsuccessful, the system displays the corresponding message.

You can select or deselect the entries found by pressing the corresponding button. It is not possible to select single entries. Once you have selected the POS transactions, you can end the mass change by choosing Replace and Save.
