On this page

The first two sub-tabs of an outlet hold who the outlet is and where it is: the details the top of every bill at the outlet prints. Change them once, and every POS at the outlet prints the new details from its next sync.

Before you start

  • You may change the outlet: you work at it, work at every outlet, or are an Administrator.
  • Have your company registration number, SST registration number and tax identification number (TIN) at hand, as your documents write them.

Open them

  1. In the menu, under MASTERS, click Outlet, then Outlets.
  2. Click Edit on the outlet's row. The window opens on Details.
  3. Click Address & contact for the address, phone and email.

Details, part by part

Details: the outlet's names, and its registration numbers.
  1. Code: the outlet's short code, set when the outlet was added. It starts every bill number at the outlet, so it is greyed and never changes.
  2. Name: needed. Up to 100 characters. The big, bold line at the top of every bill.
  3. Second name: up to 100 characters. Printed under the name, for example the name in Chinese or Malay. Leave it empty if you have none.
  4. Reg No: your company registration number, up to 50 characters. Printed as Reg No: ….
  5. SST No: your SST registration number, up to 50 characters. Printed as SST No: ….
  6. TIN: your tax identification number, up to 50 characters. Printed as TIN: ….
  7. Save: saves this sub-tab and every other one at once.

Address & contact, part by part

Address & contact: where the outlet is, and how to reach it.
  1. Address line 1: up to 200 characters. Printed under the names.
  2. Address line 2: up to 200 characters. Printed under line 1.
  3. Postcode: up to 20 characters. Printed on one line with the city, such as 50470 Kuala Lumpur.
  4. City: up to 100 characters. The list of outlets shows it under Where, and its search finds an outlet by it.
  5. State: up to 100 characters. Printed on its own line.
  6. Country: up to 100 characters. Not printed on bills.
  7. Phone: up to 50 characters. Printed as Tel: …, and shown in the list of outlets.
  8. Email: up to 200 characters, saved in small letters. Not printed on bills.

How the bill prints them

The top of a bill, from the details above.

The bill prints them in this order, every line centred:

  1. The name, bold, double width and double height. Double width fits half as many letters, so a long name wraps onto two lines.
  2. The second name.
  3. Address line 1, then line 2.
  4. The postcode and the city on one line.
  5. The state.
  6. Tel:, Reg No:, SST No: and TIN:, each only when it is filled in.
  7. The receipt header's lines, when there are any.

An empty box prints nothing, not even its label. The country and the email are never printed. A line too long for the paper wraps at whole words.

Change them

  1. Open the outlet with Edit.
  2. On Details or Address & contact, change the boxes.
  3. Click Receipt to check the Bill preview, if you like.
  4. Click Save. The SAVED splash says HQ saved. Every POS at this outlet prints the new details from its next sync.

A changed name is also shown at once in the Outlet box at the top of the pages.
