In Central you will Get/Send Data to/from the Satellite Store(s). At the Satellite Store(s) you will use Data Pump to Get/Send Data to/from Central. Above can be run manually or via scheduled task. Read on if you'd like more details... |
Introduction -A "GET" and "SEND" nomenclature is used that makes most buttons intuitive. Transactions are moved in batches as desired from Satellite Stores to Central Acme.
In Store: Get from Central -> Send to Central
In Central: Get from Store ->Send to Store
(repeat)
The Reset Batch button allows you to reset a batch of transactions so they can be re-sent. Need to do so is rare. Doing so is safe as Acme will not import duplicates.
The Multi Store tab morphs depending on what Store Type you are at. Store Type is shown on the dialog for your reference. Store Type is changed in Acme Point of Sale on >Maintenance >Acme Setup Information >Store Info tab.

If Store Type = Disabled then you have an invalid combination of Store Type and Activation Code entered into Acme. Launch Acme and click >Maintenance>Acme Setup Information >Store Info tab and make sure you entered the Activation Code provided when you licensed Acme. If your Store Number is 000 your Store Type must be Central or Stand Alone. If your Store Number is greater than 000 your Store type could be Single Store or Satellite (Satellite if you also licensed a Central Acme).
Store Type = Single -Don't let the name fool you, it is possible to have multiple single stores, you just wouldn't have a Central Acme.
Store Type = Central -A Central Acme is always a non-selling Acme. It is used for running reports (on data from any or all stores) and to transfer data between host accounting system and Satellite Acme's. Item and customer maintenance and purchase order creation can also be done in a Central Acme. For more information see Multi-store Customer Sync and Multi-store Item Sync
Store Type = Satellite -Stores that share data with a Central Acme.
Store Type = Portable -Take Acme to the streets for Sidewalk Sales, Route Sales, Trade Shows & Distribution.
