Introduction

This document provides instructions for Pricing Options translations. This table is used to translate incoming data into Optifacts format.

Procedure

Price Options Available Report

The first thing you need to do is to print the “Price Options Available Report.”

From the Optifacts main menu:

Select Option 11 – Retail Transfer and press Enter.

Select Option 14 - Report: Price Options Available and press Enter.

Press “S” to view the report on the screen.
Or, press “P” to print the report and press Enter.

The first number is num, and the second number is the bit.

Press “E” to exit and return to the Retail Transfer menu.

Use the “Price Options Available Report” to locate the correct num and bit for the lite-ups you need to translate.

Look over the “Price Options Available” report for the translation you want and make a note of the first and second numbers provided. These numbers are used later for the translation. If you don’t find what you need, you can add it later.

Retail Pricing Options

Back at the Retail Transfer Main Menu choose “Editor: Pricing Translation.”

From the Optifacts main menu:

Select Option 11 – Retail Transfer and press Enter.

Select Option 6 – Editor: Pricing Translation and press Enter.

The Retail Pricing Options Table is displayed.

Add a New Record

Press “A” to add a new record.
Enter all the relevant data by pressing Enter past each field.

System Name - Enter the system name for the file format that contains this field.

System Name OPTI must be in capital letters.

Account Code - Enter “0” zero for all accounts or enter a specific account number.

The account number must be right-justified. A correct example would be [ 123], and an incorrect example would be [123 ].

Source String - Enter the exact pattern of the data as it occurs in the input record. An example is the lite-up chosen from TNT or VisionWeb. (Select Option NULL if blanks were expected or ANY OTHER for suffix or prefix).

Lite-up (num) - (Lite-ups: NOT the number viewed on-screen). The num refers to the first of the two numbers on the Pricing Options available report. (Optifacts menu 5-4-4)

Lite-up (bit) - NOT the number viewed on screen. The bit refers to the second of the two numbers, on the Pricing Options available report. (Optifacts menu 5-4-4)

Pricing Text - The pricing text appears automatically upon input of the num and bit. It is the actual Lite-up description associated with the first and second numbers.
