| General Utilities | |
|---|---|
| Changes Sales Number | The Change Sale Number utility is used to modify the current sale number and should only be done when the system is not being used. |

| Dinepoint Dump | The Dinepoint Dump utility allows users to locate information in the FPOS database for use with Dinepoint software or other restaurant management software.

| Purge Old Data | FPOS will retain system data specified in Data Retention for the number of days specified or for as long as there is available hard drive space to be used for storage. Users can configure a Purge Old Data schedule using Windows Scheduler or purge data manually from the Back Office. |
| The Reset Databases utility allows the user to reset the contents of any database in the system. This is useful for resetting totals after training, but prior to going live. It can also be used to reset files in order to start a new install instead of deleting all the records one at a time. | |
