By "Module System Settings" we are referring to the import, export, and header information, such as Customer Number. Some, or all of these, are necessary to allow the POS system to import the file.

Click on the Kitchens button to bring up the 2020 Design page with the system settings.

(A) Version Information: The Last Update is the last revision date for Module specific features. The Source Version is the version of the data source that the XpressPOS Module is designed for. In the case of 2020 Kitchen Design, XpressPOS is designed to handle versions 6.4 to 8.1. This does not mean it will not process a new version, it simply indicates that Saberis has not finished testing and approving the data from the new source version.

(B) Import Settings: Not used for the Kitchen Module.

(C) Export Settings: XpressPOS allows for optional naming of the export file name. Up to three (3) fields or properties can be concatenated (adding text fields together) to form the file name. For the Kitchen Module the available property sources are:

• The 2020 Design Name (recommended)

• A Default Name (Example: XpressPOS)

• The Current Date

• The Store Number

• The Sales Person (number or name)

• The 2020 Catalog Name

To set-up a different export file name than the recommended one, click on the Configure button (as shown in the image above).

In the first drop-down box, select the field or property you want to start the export file name with. In the second box, select the next property. Then finally the third if required.

In this example the file name will be store number + sales person name, or number + 2020 design name.

Be aware that the file name can get very long and some systems have restrictions on the length of their import file names.

By having the store name and sales person name, the user can find the files on the POS system's files list quicker if there are a lot of designs waiting to be imported from different stores.

XpressPOS knows what file extension is standard for the different systems and applies the correct one (.BMS, .BM6, .TXT, etc.). If needed, you can change them by selecting the "I will choose..." option.

The "remove illegal characters" is for non-windows based systems. This option will purge blanks and other characters that will cause most UNIX/LINUX systems to throw an error on the import process.

(D) Data & Processing: If you fill out a valid customer number in the 2020 Project Manager, XpressPOS will pass it through if the "I would like to send a Customer Number to my POS" is checked and the "Use data from the import file" is selected.

Some systems, such as ECS Pro, require a valid customer number in the import file. If you do not want to bring through the 2020 customer number, which may be different than the POS number, then select the "Use a default customer number.." and enter one in the text box.   

The Configure button takes you to the main Kitchen data processing options.
