2. Alter utility
INTRODUCTION
The Alter utility allows the standard shift end-of-day and clerk reports to be tailored to the
customer’s preferences. Prior to running the utility, the customer report order form must be
completed. The Alter utility prompts for information in the order it appears on that order form. The
utility runs on both the PC and the Site Controller.
Before starting
Before starting Alter, run the command:
A:print product;a>>log
to print a list of the departments and products you will be using. Make sure you know all of the
following:
•
What are all the fuel products you will be using and what are their product numbers.
•
What are all the merchandise products and departments you will be using, and what are their
product/department numbers.
•
If you will be tracking any stock numbers on reports, know what their names and stock
numbers are.
•
Know which departments and products you want to itemize on your reports, and which ones
you want to combine into one total. (A common mistake is to list too many departments in a
report, which can make the report too long to be useful.)
•
Know what tenders you want to list on your reports.
•
If you have any need to do refunds, payouts, or coupons which are treated as special
departments, know what product/department numbers to use.
•
If you have offroad discounts, know what the discount and the offroad-tax product and
departments are.
If you are using a Check Point and you have any PLU products, they should have the same
category number of a product/department, and they should have type 9 enabled by the ENABLE
PRODUCT command.
The example shows a department, FOUNTAIN,
with four PLU products: coffee and small,
medium, and large drinks. The actual
department has the same product number as
category number. All PLUs assigned to that
department have the same category number as
the product/department number (in this case,
35) of the department they are assigned to. All
PLUs also have type 9 enabled.
All products and departments should be loaded in the Site Controller before you run Alter.
Remember to enable special product types, such as: refunds and coupons (type 1), payouts (type
2), fuels (type 8), Check Point PLUs (type 9).
NOTE: Do not use # in the description of fuels, merchandise, or adjustments.
