Simphony - Configuring Employee Privileges to Edit Menu Items


Configuring Employee Privileges to Edit Menu Item Definitions and Prices

In the EMC, you must grant employees permission to edit menu item definitions and prices. The permissions enable workstation operators to change menu item definitions and prices at the property level from the workstation using the Edit Menu Item function key. The Oracle Hospitality Simphony Manager User Guide contains more information on Adjusting Menu Item Definitions.

Users cannot edit a menu item that is defined at the Enterprise or zone levels; users with the appropriate privileges can edit a menu item that is defined at the property level.

  1. Select the Enterprise level, click Configuration, and then click Roles.
  2. Select the role type, click the Operations tab, and then click the PMC Procedures sub-tab.
  3. Select options 30020 - View Menu Items to enable employees to access menu items from the workstation, 30021 - Edit Menu Item Definitions to enable employees to edit menu item definitions from the workstation, and 30022 - Edit Menu Item Prices to enable employees to edit menu item prices from the workstation.
  4. Click the PMC General/Reports sub-tab.
  5. Select 30001 - Run PMC to allow employees associated with the role to launch the PMC on the workstation using Function Key 300, Launch PMC.
  6. Click Save.

Configuring Employee Privileges for Menu Item Availability Adjustments

In the EMC, you must grant employees permission to adjust the availability of menu items. The permission enables workstation operators to change menu item availability at the workstation using the Menu Item Availability function key. 

  1. Select the Enterprise level, click Configuration, and then click Roles.
  2. Select the role type, click the Operations tab, and then click the PMC Procedures sub-tab.
  3. Select options 30020 - View Menu Items to enable employees to access menu items from the workstation, and 30023 - Change Menu Item Availability to enable employees associated with the role to adjust the availability of menu items from the workstation.
  4. Click the PMC General/Reports sub-tab.
  5. Select 30001 - Run PMC to allow employees associated with the role to launch the PMC on the workstation using Function Key 300, Launch PMC.
  6. Click Save.

Configuring Menu Item Availability for Multiple Definitions at the Workstation

By default, the Menu Item Availability function key only allows workstation operators to adjust the availability of the first menu item definition. To allow workstation operators to edit all definitions of an item from the workstation:

  1. Select the revenue center, click Setup, and then click RVC Parameters.
  2. Click the Options tab, and then select 66 - Manage Menu Item Availability/Out of Item for each Menu Item Definition.
