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.
Professional Estimating:
Click on the
P.E. button to
bring up the Pro-Estimating 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
PE, all versions
can be used.
(B) Import Settings:
It is recommended
that the PE export
file path be set to
C:\Program Files\Saberis\xpresspos2006\importfiles\ To do this, click on the ellispe button
 ,
and locate it.
The Import File
Name is quotes.BM6. You must
enter that file name
in the XpressPOS
box.
(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 Professional Estimating Module the available property sources are:
-
A Default Name
(recommended - Must be
different for each
machine)
-
The
Current Date
-
The Store
Number
-
The Sales
Person (number or 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 + 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
Professional Estimating data processing options.
