You can adjust the settings of a location using Simphony as the POS.
Editing location settings is only possible with the user role Edit location settings. If your user role does not include this, contact an Administrator user in your account and ask them to provide you access. Learn how to change user roles.
Follow the steps in this article to access the settings page of your POS. Most settings in this article can also be changed for individual channels.
Price level settings are only set at the channel level. View the Set price levels heading for details.
Product sync
Sync revenue center (RVC)
Enter the Simphony Revenue Center ObjectNumber used for product sync.
Employee number
Enter the Simphony Employee ObjectNumber used to inject orders and sync products. The Employee must be assigned to the Sync revenue center and be active on the Workstation.
Price level
Choose the Simphony price level to sync and apply for items' main price. Use alongside the Price level mapping setting.
Price level mapping
To make sure the correct price level is synced, set the flow you want to sync. LEGACY uses the number of rows set in Simphony (1=row 1), while BY_SEQUENCE is a more logical flow that uses Simphony's sequenceNumber (2=sequenceNumber: 2). Use with the Price level setting.
Product sync pagination
Limit the overall number of items synced during product sync. By default, the limit is set to 5000.
Increasing the value above 5000 may result in a slower product sync.
Advanced product sync settings
Tax percentage (1-4) and Tax object number (1-4)
In Simphony, each item is attributed a tax class with an object number. For Deliverect to apply the correct tax rate during product sync, set the tax rate in the correct field (e.g., 5% in Tax 1 percentage) and the corresponding tax object number in the equivalent field (e.g., 4 in Tax 1 object number). With the above configuration (5% and 4), all items with tax object number 4 in Simphony will be synced with 5% tax.
Product ID range
Restrict the items synced using the POS ID range. 2000-5000 means all POS IDs of items with IDs 2000 to 5000. For multiple ranges, specify with a comma (0-3000, 5000-5500). Leave empty to sync all products.
Product families range
Restrict the items synced using a family ID range. 100-102 means all families of 100 to 102. For multiple ranges, specify with a comma (100, 102, 104-109). Leave empty to sync all families.
Global order settings
When making changes to the following settings, ensure you are editing the correct area. Any changes made to the location will propagate to every online store for this location. Any changes made when editing the settings of an online store will impact only that online store.
