Time Periods Tab

The Time Periods tab allows you to define the categories of sales information you wish to track in the DSR. At least one category must be entered for each time period used by your restaurant.

Compeat provides the ability to track up to six time periods in the general ledger through the DSR; you can name these time periods whatever you desire — for example, breakfast, lunch, happy hour, and dinner. For more information, see the POS Mapping Utility Time Period field.

Description of fields:

This field is required.

When Sales Taxes were defined, you presumably specified whether the calculation was based on food, alcohol, or both. Here you are specifying whether a sales amount from the POS is for food or alcohol. Compeat calculates taxes based on these sales amounts. It posts this calculated number, not the sales tax number entered in the POS system. If the collected and calculated sales tax amounts are not equal, Compeat automatically makes a balancing entry to the tax difference account (defined on the Sales Tax tab).

This field is optional. Typically this is only not specified for statistical data; usually all other sales are taxed.

Note: If you make any changes to the categories on any of the time period tabs (for example, add a new category, change the order of categories, or delete a category), the POS Mappings will also need to be updated. When you access the POS Mapping Utility, it will automatically prompt you that changes were made to the DSR Definitions, and will ask if you want it to make corresponding adjustments to the POS mappings.
