We formulated principles of displaying buttons on the POS screen to denote menu items and menu groups excluded from sale.
If a menu item is assigned to any button on the screen form layout, this button is always available. However, if this item is temporarily not for sale (for example, out of stock), the button becomes disabled. If you do not want this button to be displayed at all, it can be hidden.
The button also becomes disabled in the list (either in button or table displaying mode) if the corresponding menu item or menu group is excluded from sale.
To determine when to make buttons disabled or hide them, the HideDisabledMenuItems
parameter was added to the settings of service devices (POS terminal, PDA server).
Possible values: True
, False
(the default value is True
).
HideDisabledMenuItems = True // Hide excluded or unavailable menu items
If False
is set, buttons are disabled.
If True
is selected, buttons are hidden.
