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

Warning: Consult a programmer before performing a partial recovery, because some files have to remain together.
The "Save Full System" option from the Backup menu, allows to save on an external media the entire database files, and sales totals. This function performs a complete copy and should be run at least once a week, especially if there is no backup hard drive. "Back-Office" saves the information in the same manner as the "End of Day" option. This operation does not replace the invoice archive information. 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.
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.
