Micros Sim Question. 1

[JaiSpencer]

Hi all!

I have been reading and lurking for a few years now, but after reading up and enjoying the posts, its time i actually asked a question!

We would like to look into this idea:

Button is pressed a discount is applied to the total GC the screen changes to the next screen.
If the button is pressed again the discount is removed and re-applied (to capture any extra items on the GC)
Includes any other discount or deal (open discount in a way.)

Thanks
Jai

Are you asking for someone to write a SIM for you or asking about how to go about this?

The only way I can really think to do this would be to have a pre-defined discount that the SIM knows the object number/sequence number of.. push the button, it tries to find it. If it finds it, void it off.
Apply discount.

So something like:

loop to check each item
if item my discount
void discount off
endif
endloop

apply discount

Hi, oh the second:
'about how to go about this'

and even if its possible to accomplish you see.

But thank you, it sounds like the SIM idea would be the way to go.

I will search our current SIMS to see if there is any code i can copy and read into.
Thanks for the response, you know, i should have placed a wee bet, i had hoped you would reply!

Speak soon.

Well, if you're looking to do it on your own, and happen to have a MICROS installation handy, there is a great resource you can dig through.

Go to X:\MICROS\Documentation\Help\ and open SIMHelp.chm

Where X is the drive letter MICROS files are installed to.

Once you have that open, it lists and gives examples for a majority of the SIM features, though some you can only really find by digging down into the MICROS PMAs.

For example, if you want an example of a loop, open the help fild. Click Command Reference by Category of Function. Click Flow Control. Click For...EndFor. It pretty clearly explains how a loop works in MICROS SIM as well as giving an example.

It will take some hunting, but to give you a hint.. You'll need to look at the @numdtl variables in System Variable Reference, and also need to look through the Key Names and Codes, which are triggers using the loadkybdmacro which you can find under Function Reference by Alpha. Let me know if you have any specific questions!

Wow, i have been using MyInv for nearly 4yrs without a manual as the ruddy help/? never worked, and when i requested a ref manual, it was for an upcoming release and only covered the new bits!

I digress, thank you for pointing out the help files, im new to the POS side of things you see, taking on more but still not knowing more - if you know what i mean!

Thanks again.

I will pop my code up here to possibly help others, or for something for us to laugh at ready for the weekend.
