*.* Store Con'igurator The configurator is the main configuration tool for SAP POS. The maJority of the transaction set is configured here. ,or the most part this application is kept at the company head@uarters and most store personnel do not even know it exists. The !onfigurator consists of a 15 and a &ata*ase. The data*ase contains your configuration and is to *e *acked up as it can represent many man hours of work and not to mention the sta*ility of your stores. 5n the !onfigurator you can make changes to a store and it will prepare files for the in store software suite to use. These files will tell SAP POS how to *ehave.

There are sections of the configurator that are considered to *e for demonstration and testing purposes only. ,or example the P31 section of the configurator is not in any way meant to manage P31Ls for a live store. 5t is much too complicated a task and *eyond the scope of the !onfigurator.

The POS.ini is read in a top down process. $eaning it reads line 6 then line 7 and so forth. So if you have the same settings in more than one place the 3AST one takes precedence.

5tem (ntry !ontrol is a set of rules for identifying the strings of characters as they are scanned or keyed at the =Scan(nter 5tem> prompt or+ the =(nter 5tem> prompt i f there is no scanner configured.
hat it is in essence is a list of rules the POS uses to identify )arcodes "like the one configured in the previous section%. 5t works in a *ottom up process. Starting with the highest 5& and working up the list until it gets a match or eventually performs a P31 lookup and treats the input as a P31. Since this is a *ottom up process the more detailed rules get added to the *ottom and as the rules get more general the 5&s get lower and lower. 1sing this methodology you can create exceptions. 5n this section we will configure a rule that will take in the *arcode we entered in a*ove. #emem*er that it started with EE and ends in FF.

The Standard menus are represented on the POS screen as the actual *uttons on the screen. There are three sets of Standard $enus $ain $enu+ 5tem $enu Tender $enu. $ain $enu is displayed after you sign on or after a Transaction is finished. 5t cannot contain all of the transactions *ecause it would not make sense to allow an item void for example if there are no items to void. !onversely you could not allow some functions in mid transaction. After you launch a transaction or ring in your first item the 5tem menu is displayed. The Tender menu is displayed after you press the =TOTA3 /(?> Only Tenders some discounts and such are allowed here. ,unction $enus are used to group certain function types for example+ Admin $enus are used to group $anager !odes and Tender $enus group Tenders so on and so forth. These menu types are not used as much since custom menus give much more fle xi*ility.
!ustom $enus are menus that allow you to place a large num*er of items under them even other custom menus. This gives you the flexi*ilit y to create complex menu structures. 5n this section we will add the $anager code into the POSLs $ain $enu and 5tem $enu. ,ollow this Procedure 6.
