For the PixelPoint POS system, a category is selected and associated with a description to create a tracking definition. In the case of the two SALES categories and the TENDERS category, a tracking number, representing the ID # of either of the two sales types or the tender, is also entered. The description is then placed in correspondence with a DSR field in the POS Mapping Utility screen.
See the General Procedure for how this screen fits in the context of POS integration.
Fill in the following fields:
Description Enter a description of 20 letters or less to associate with the tracking number. It will be carried to the POS Mapping Utility screen, where this description is correlated with a DSR field, creating a POS field/DSR field one-to-one correspondence.
Category Select the PixelPoint category, either GUEST COUNTS, SALES BY REPORT CATEGORY, SALES BY SUMMARY GROUP, TAX 1, TAX 2, TAX 3, TAX 4, TAX 5, or TENDERS, to be associated with the description.
Tracking # If the category is either SALES BY REPORT CATEGORY, SALES BY SUMMARY GROUP, or TENDERS, you need to enter the ID # of either of the sales categories or of the tender that will then be associated with the description.
Multiply By Select "-1" to reverse the sign of a number coming in from the POS system. For example, if you want comps subtracted from your sales and the output from your POS system assigns a negative number to comps, you would want to flip the sign so that it is properly subtracted. To keep the POS-assigned sign, select "1."
Save the association and create new ones until all your associations are made.
You can copy the tracking definitions to another restaurant by clicking on the Copy button in the screen toolbar.
