Scanabar Sales Transaction Export

(Maitre'D 2002, and later versions of Maitre'D)

Overview

The export format will use XML files for sale transaction.

Note: The Bevchek system also uses this XML interface.

These files are created in real time by the Back-Office when an order has been processed on any POS.

Server Control / View / Options / Bar

Bar Interface:

XML Export (Scanabar)

Directory:

Select the path of the directory monitored by that Bar Interface communication engine. Use the folder icon to browse to your preferred directory.

Export file

The Back-Office will generate file named MDST????.XML.
???? ranges from 0000 to 9999.
Each file may contain multiple transactions and there can be multiple file export at the same time.
The import program is responsible to find these files and should provide a way to enter a path to these files.
Once the import was completed, the import program must remove this file.
