Item Class

(Maitre'D 2005, from Service Pack 1 and later versions of Maitre'D)

P.O.S. Control / Revenue Center / Item Class

You can setup your screens quickly and easily with the concept of Item Classes that allow to group sales items together on a same button of a preferential screen without the use of a variable lists. This feature replaces the former Group concept. Thanks to this option, after defining an item class on a button on a screen, when you link a new sales item to that item class, this item is automatically included within that button.

Description:

Enter a name for this group of items.
