The Date Control option allows to modify dates used by the Back-Office. You may change the beginning and ending date of the year, the first day of the week, the last closed day and the last daily report. Modifying these dates affects Weekly, Periodic and Yearly reports. Monthly reports always rely on calendar months and will therefore remain unaffected by these settings.
First Day of the Week
Select the day on which you want the sales reports begin every week. For instance, if you select Monday, the weekly reports will span from Monday to Sunday.
Start of Year
Select the first day of the accounting year. The Back-Office calculates the periods according to these dates. The annual report contains these dates and all dates in between.
NOTE: It is perfectly normal and acceptable for businesses to use yearly start and end dates that are different from the legal calendar year.
End of year
Select the last day of the accounting year.
NOTE: The last day of the year determines the current fiscal year number. For example, if the last day of the year is March 31, 2022, then the current fiscal year is 2022.
Last Closing Day
Select the date of the last closing day. When you first install the Back-Office, set this date to the previous day. The accounting system uses this date for reports.
Daily Summary Number
Number of days closed since the system went Live.
NOTE: This number is updated automatically and cannot be modified.
Period [1 - 13]
The accounting year can be divided in periods of one to five weeks. There can be as many as thirteen periods in a year. Program the number of weeks that each period should contain. Use partial weeks that can exist at the start and end of year. If not enough weeks are programmed; the extra weeks will fall in the last programmed period.

This option should be used in addition to the "Save Checks to Disk" option.
The Save Full System function copies all files with the extension .DAT from the Data folder to the external media.

The Save System Management option allows to save the Back-Office setup information onto an external media. Suppose you have 2 restaurants that you want to have similar configurations.

This procedure does not copy employee files or any other files that are specific to each restaurant, such as sales history.
The Back-Office saves the information in the same manner as in the End of Day option.
NOTE: Before you use the Save System Management option, make sure you have used the End of Day option to close the previous day. You might also want to review the section Save Extended System Management to see if this copy function is better suited to your needs

The Copy Item Config by Revenue Center option allows to rapidly recreate the same configurations in all modes of another revenue center once you have manually setup the configurations for all modes of all sales items of a first revenue center. This option is useful to program a new revenue center, such as creating a To GO revenue center from a Dining Room revenue center, and then modify the target revenue center to change a few items, such as replacing fountain soda by soda cans, for example. The Back-Office copies the sales items configuration only.
From Revenue Center
Select the source revenue center from which you want to copy the configuration.
To Revenue Center
Select the destination revenue center where you want the previously selected configuration to be copied.
NOTE: If you choose a source revenue center that has more modes than the target revenue center, the existing mode(s) will be copied to, but no new mode will be added to the destination revenue center.
Replace Existing:
Enable this option to overwrite an existing revenue center and its mode(s) with the previously selected configuration in addition to creating new configurations for empty sales items and modes.
OK
The Restore Extended System Management option allows to restore the Back-Office setup information to the hard disk from an external media. This operation erases the current setup.

To restore the full Extended System Management Copy, select No.
Warning: Consult a programmer before performing a partial recovery, because some files have to remain together.

IMPORTANT: This operation is PERMANENT and IRREVERSIBLE.
->DELETE<-
Type the word DELETE in uppercase to confirm that you really want to perform an inventory deletion, then click OK to proceed.
Enable this option to perform archiving on floppy disks.
Number of disk to Archive
This field will display the number of disks to archive for your checks.
Number of Invoice per Disk
Enter the number of invoices that your device can hold. For a 3.5" floppy disk, this number should be 8000.
If you enable this option, the Back-Office determines how many guest checks file a blank diskette stores when you insert the diskette. Otherwise, the Back-Office does not check the blank diskette.
Archive Destination
Type in the diskette drive name to which you want the Back-Office to send guest checks files for backup, such as A.
Automatic Format
If you enable this option, the Back-Office offers an option to formats the diskette each time you save the guest check files or each time you use a backup option. The Back-Office erases any data on the diskette when formatting occurs.
Otherwise, the Back-Office does not automatically format the diskettes
Enable this option to use other supports to perform archiving, such as removable hard drives or thumb drives
NOTE: The purpose of backups and archives is to have a fallback in case of a major system failure. Therefore, backups and archives should always be saved to a removable drive, or manually copied to a cloud storage service.
Path
This is the path the system will use to archiving. To change it, use the [...] button.
NOTE: Network paths or URLs are not supported. To transfer files to a network location or a cloud storage service, first take the backup on a local drive then manually copy the files elsewhere.
