  1. First, create the Store Parameter(s) via the POS-PM-1 menu option.
  2. Next, create the transaction sets, go to POS-PM-4 Transaction Types and select the new store(s), then do the following:

    - No transaction types exist for this store. Do you want to add? <> =Yes *Press <Enter> Here*

      - Do you want to build table from "RETAIL","RATEX" or another store? <> =Yes Y *Enter a Y Here*

      - Enter "RETAIL", "RATEX", or a store number. *Enter a '1' Here for Store 1 and Press <Enter>* and press <Enter> to the Update prompt and <Enter> again to save your changes.
  3. Now add the Register menus via POS-PM-12 Register Menu Maintenance:
    1 - Single Register Report Menu
    2 - Consolidated Register Report Menu
    3 - Single Employee/Salesperson Report Menu
    4 - Consolidated Employee/Salesperson Report Menu
    5 - Register Modifier/Options Menu
    6 - Inquiries Menu

    Step through each of these for the new store(s) with the following steps:
      - No transaction types exist for this store. Do you want to add? <> =Yes *Press <Enter> Here*

      - Enter "RETAIL", "RATEX", or a store number. *Enter a '1' Here for Copying Store 1 (or enter any source store) and press <Enter> and <Enter> again to the Update prompt and <Enter> again to save your changes.

    The remainder of the register menu processes/parameters such as Fees, Codes, Taxes and so forth are not maintained at the Store level.
  4. We’ll need to add the new register static IPs to the ACC file once you have them and then build the registers via the Register Maintenance menu option POS-PM-2.
  5. You’ll also need to add your new cashiers and/or modify the existing Cashier IDs via POS-PM-3 to accommodate the new store if you are maintaining your cashiers at a single store level.
  6. If these stores will be requiring a new tax table/amount that will need to be added via POS-PM-5 Tax Tables and this new code will be placed in the Store Parameter POS-PM-1.
  7. We’ll need you to provide the Merchant IDs for any authorization processes such as Credit and/or Campus Debit card for the new stores.
