Transaction Header and POS Transaction

The Hotel POS uses Interface Profile #HOTEL in the Demo Database and the profile is connected to POS Startup Controller #HOTEL-DESK.

The POS Startup Controller defines which codeunit and panel are used to start the POS. The Startup Panel is called #HTL-FRONDESK and codeunit 10033518 Hotel Front Desk is used to handle the commands and functionality within the startup #HTL-FRONTDESK panel. The POS Startup Controller is registered when Retail Modules are registered, and it is not editable. The POS command #HTL-FRONTDESK is used to do necessary functionality and is handled in codeunit 10033518.

The Interface Profile #HOTEL-HK is also defined in the Demo Database and is intended for hotel phone view. It uses same POS Startup Controller as profile #HOTEL.

The Startup Panel #HTL-FRONDESK in the #HOTEL-HK profile is defined with browser control #HTL-HOUSEKEEPING.BC and then the POS Terminal P0171 Phone view opens the housekeeping panel.

There must be at least one Hospitality Type for each restaurant in the hotel for the Split Bill to work.

  • Create a normal Sales Type called POS, and then for each restaurant create a Hospitality Type with Sales Type POS.

Important fields in the Hospitality Type Card:

FastTab Field Value
