PMS

The PMS (Property Management System) tab allows users to configure their Property Management System settings. Users will need to set the PMS Bucket # in Department Maintenance in order to allow the Front End to communicate with the PMS software. FPOS supports any Micros based 3700 PMS system.

How to Access PMS Tab

1. Open the Back Office.
2. Click the Settings icon.
3. Click the System Settings option.
4. Click the Settings tab.
5. Click the Interfaces tab.
6. Click the PMS tab.
7. Select a Comm Port to assign the PMS system.
8. Select a Baud Rate setting from the drop down. The Baud Rate is the rate that the bits are transferred to the PMS unit. The documentation that accompanies the unit should be referenced for the proper Baud Rate settings.
9. Select a Parity setting from the drop down. Parity is a method of detecting errors in transmission that when used with a serial port, allows the serial port to detect errors. The documentation that accompanies the unit should be referenced for the recommended Parity setting.
10. Select the number of Bits to transfer. The documentation that accompanies the PMS unit should be referenced for the recommended Bit setting.
11. Select the number of Stop Bits to transfer. Stop bits are sent at the end of every character to allow the system to detect the end of a character. The documentation that accompanies the PMS unit should be referenced for the recommended Stop Bit setting.
12. Select a PMS Software option from the drop down.
13. Check the Allow Multiple Tenders check box to enable the ability to accept more than one tender type per check. This option is only available for Fidelio UK and Opera (by Fidelio).
14. Use 1 based revenue center defines revenue center "0" as "1." This prevents the PMS system from reading a revenue center of "0" as an error.
15. Inquiry Room Check will ensure that the PMS account matches the selection made. If a mismatch is detected, the user will be prompted to verify the mismatch before continuing.
16. PMS Debug Mode - Do NOT enable at a live site allows the user to view communication sent from the FPOSsoftware to the PMS system using the Log.
17. Do Not Retry Failed Transactions will prevent transactions from being posted multiple times. When this option is disabled, Future POS will make three attempts to complete the transaction. This option is only available for Fidelio UK.
18. In the Charge Posting Slip text field, configure the charge posting slip. The charge posting slip will print when the user settles a check to the PMS. See Receipt Pseudo Variables for more information on configuring receipts.
19. Click File > Save.
