A facility exists that allows you to view details about the current version of menu pricing data and latest import/conversion, view the log files, and control access to menu pricing in Point-of-Sale (POS).
Note: Vauxhall GME users cannot view details about the data version or latest import/conversion because GME data is not imported via the Menu Pricing setup option. It is automatically imported in Point-of-Sale by connecting to the Vauxhall GME web site. You may still want to view the backup or restore log files, however, or control access to menu pricing in Point-of-Sale.
What do you want to do?
Each time data is uploaded and converted on the Autoline system, details are normally stored about the current data version, together with the ID of the user that uploaded and/or converted the data. This is not the case for Vauxhall, however, because GME data is not uploaded/converted via the Menu pricing setup option.
Note: Access to menu pricing in Point-of-Sale is automatically denied when data is uploaded and converted.
