 Tip
titleRegister Modeling using Recall Feature
When creating a new register, it It is easier to model an existing one, rather register when creating a new register than starting from scratch.  To do so...
  • Recall an existing register for display, then press enter to save its data in memory and clear the display.
  • Next, enter the new register's Tasting Room and Register ID and press enter to create. 
  1. Use F2 Special Functions, then ...
  2. F3 Recall Data to recall the saved settings of the model register into the new register.  
Modify the new register's description and save as usual. 
Before processing transactions with the new register, contact AMS to complete setup and associate the new register to the appropriate winery Merchant ID.

Every register has a unique three-digit terminal number.  Its number identifies it to peripheral hardware attached to your system. The number can be arbitrary as long as it is unique and is a numeric value. A common practice is to assign terminal numbers based on its tasting room and register ids.  For example, Tasting Room 1 Register 3 would get Terminal Number 103.  Tasting Room 2, Register 1 would get terminal number 201, etc.  Of course, this will not work with Tasting Rooms or Registers that are not numeric values. In which case, assign the register a unique numeric value.

  • If set to Yes, the already-entered line item can be selected and changed. This register-level setting overrides clerk-level permissions explained in the Maintain Clerk Master File (MCL) documentation.

titleWhat's the purpose?
"Yes, allow editing" is how the majority of users define their registers.  Why would the system behave this way in the first place?  Experienced users will likely find this setting a nuisance.  Mistakes happen. And it's infinitely easier to correct an existing entry, rather than having to void the entire line item and start over. 
 This register behavior is particularly helpful when training or onboarding new staff.  A review of their transactions will reveal where additional training may be required.  
...
After successful payment processing and saving the order, this setting also prevents the register from accessing "order options" and making any changes.
Default browse method
The touchscreen Cash Register (TCH) provides clerks with a way to browse for entered orders. This option determines the default browse method.  That is, to scroll orders by an order number, or to scroll orders by the register ID the clerk is logged into.
