Work with the xml_titles.txt settings file (layout)

The xml_titles.txt settings file is used by the POS Intellect system for creating titles from the received XML packages. As noted above, you may use a ready settings file or edit it as you wish. In xml_protocol.pdf, there is a detailed description of the settings file format and several examples of work with it. The xml_titles.txt settings file should be located in the \Modules\POS subdirectory of the installed POS Intellect system.

Note: after editing xml_titles.txt, it is necessary to restart the POS Intellect system.

Since cash station version 6.87, there is a possibility to send service print information to the video surveillance system. To divide the service print outputs, different functions numbers are used while forming an XML file — find more details in xml_protocol.pdf.
The following rules are applied:

For basic dishes, the function number is generated based on the following formula: 100 + <service print group code from the STREAMS.DB table>

For modifiers, the function number is generated based on the following formula: 200 + <service print group code from the STREAMS.DB table>

There are some more rules used by the cash server while creating the XML file:

The receipt header function is always number [1]
The function for sending basic dishes of the final receipt is always number [2]
The function for sending modifiers of the final receipt is always number [3]
The function for sending the information on the receipt discount is always number [4]
The function for sending the information on the PDS card, if it was used, is always number [5]
The function for sending the final receipt printing end “mark” is always number [10]
The function of service print start is always number 100

Let us consider the example:

Suppose, you have three service print groups (find the code meanings in the Sifr field of the STREAMS.DB table): “Cold Dishes Kitchen” with code 1, “Bar” with code 2, “Hot Dishes Kitchen” with code 3. Then, functions with numbers 101, 102, 103 will be generated correspondingly for service print of basic dishes. For modifiers, functions with numbers 201, 202 and 203 will be generated.
