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.
BWI:
Click on the BWI button
to bring up the BWI 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 BWI, no
version number is
available.
(B) Import
Settings:
Set the default
folder for BWI in the
"Import File Path"
box to C:\Program
Files\Saberis\xpresspos2006\importfiles\.
To do this, click on
the ellispe button
 ,
and locate the
folder. This will be
the folder where the BWI
EntryNET export file is
written to. You can
use any folder you
want. It does not
have to be the
default one.
The
Import File Name is
set to BWI.xml
You must enter that
file name in the
XpressPOS box. You
can use any name you want as long as
you use the same name when
you export the order from EntryNET.
(C)
Export Settings: Although it is
recommended that a
default export file
name be used,
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 BWI Module the
available property
sources are:
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 + default.
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:
Some systems, such
as ECS Pro, require
a valid customer
number in the import
file. Select the
"Use a default
customer number" and
enter one in the
text box. Make sure
the box for "I would
like to send a
Customer Number to
my POS" is checked.
The Configure
button takes you to the main
BWI data processing options.
