After your station has been created in CStoreOffice® and your Price Book is still empty, you can populate it automatically from the cash register. With the Import Price Book from CR feature, you can download items and CR departments from your cash register to the Price Book in CStoreOffice®.
If this is the your first location on the account or you need to import only certain price book data, refer to the Import Price Book from Cash Register section for further instructions.
How Empty Price Book Autofill from CR Works
Empty Price Book autofill from CR is performed in the following way:
- Each time a cash register is connected to CStoreOffice® and a new station is created in CStoreOffice®, the backup files with the Price Book data are downloaded from the cash register and stored in the Cloud Storage in the conexxus 3.5 format.
- When the Import Price Book from CR event is triggered from CStoreOffice® for a certain station, the Import Tool module opens.
- The Cloud Storage converts backup files and tells Import Tool to start the import process.
- The Import Tool uploads CR Price Book data to CStoreOffice® CR departments, items and promotions.
- The Import Tool automatically maps all items with the relevant categories in the Price Book as all items in CStoreOffice® must be classified by categories to ensure correct report data.
- The user verifies uploaded Price Book data in CStoreOffice® and starts working with the Price Book in CStoreOffice®. The Price Book data can be verified and adjusted, if needed, in the following ways:
For more information on the automatic mapping procedure, see Map Categories. For more information about categories, see Categories.
- In the Price Management tool. For details, see Price Management.
- In the CR Departments section. For details, see CR Departments.
