Sys_datos_dfs

- Configuration 1 Export
- Vendors 1
- Artícles 1
- …

Copy.sql

If we want to work with the copy of sys_datos_dfs we need to import the .sql file to the new DB
called sys_datoscopy_dfs. To do this menu “4.3.2 Data base  Restore

In the tabs Texts 1-10, Texts 11-20 and G Text there are three buttons to introduce the
characters New Line, Not centre and Concatenate:
New line: It can be inserted in any position of the text by pressing the button F1 or the
key F1 of the PC keyboard. It introduces a line jump (carriage return) in the position that is
inserted. It has the same behaviour in 500 Range and L Series scales.
Not centre: The character is entered in the first position of the text by pressing the
button F2 or the key F2 of the PC keyboard. It allows not to centre that text when the
configuration parameter centre text is enabled. It only has this function when it is inserted on
the first position of the text. If it is not, it will have the concatenate function. It has the same
behaviour in 500 Range and L Series scales.
Concatenate: It can be inserted in any position in the text but not on the first position.
It allows to concatenate a text with the next text, but only when in the label format those texts
are consecutive. Usually the character is inserted in the last position of the text.
In L Series scales only texts with codified ingredients are concatenated.
In 500 Range scales the next text that comes on the label format is the one that will
be concatenated (500 Range scales do not have codified ingredients).

Nutritionals

In this tab we can program the answers for each of the generic nutritional questions (to program
nutritional questions go to Texts  Nutritionals, see paragraph 4.7.5 Nutritionals. Max. 14

4.7 Texts
In the texts menus, we can register, edit or delete the fields of sections, traceability and receipts.
We can also create customers, send short messages or send nutritional texts to the scale.
In all available grids in these menus, it is possible to group, sort, etc. the columns. For more
information about grids, see section 9. DFS Grids.

4.7.1 Sections
In this section we can register, edit or remove the sections. Sections are the different parts that can
divide a shop depending on the different products existing on the shop. We can edit up to a
maximum of 99 sections. 11 sections can be accessed by direct key on the Range 500, and 4 in
D900 scales.

72
49-MDFS000EN17
 DFS
By default it is registered the section 0 and this parameter can not be deleted. This section is also
assigned by default to each scale.

To Add a section press the key . We know that we are registering an item because it will
appear in blue the word ADD.

In 500 Range scales we can set a direct key between 0 and 11 for the 12 sections we wish. For
D900 scales we can do this for 4 sections. In these sections, we can assign the different items of
each section to the PLU‟s direct keys, that is, if you press the direct key for the fish section on the
scale, in PLU 1 you will have a fish item and then, if you press the meat direct key, in the same PLU
1, you will have a meat item.

In addition, with the “Prefix” section, you assign a prefix to each one of the sections with direct keys
which allows easy access to the different items in the scale.

49-MDFS000EN17 73
Manual
For example:
In DFS, in section 2, you program the 944 prefix.
With DGI/RGI, you send the prefix plus the 944123 item code.

This item is accessible in the scale by its code when section 2 is activated by entering the 123 item
code.
In the point Logo Id: Displays a list of standard options, select the wanted option. See the section
4.11, Logos.

Press in order to view the selected logo and it will appear logo view:

Another window you can find when you are configuring is:

In the last two fields we can choose section barcodes. We can choose barcodes designed in the
menu Articles, Sections or in the menu Data  Barcodes. We can also create new barcodes but
these ones will only be accessible from the Sections menu and Articles menu, not from the menu
Data  Barcodes (this table can only contain 10 EAN13 and 1 EAN128).

The last option is for permitting or not to sell products of this section.

4.7.2 Traceability
In the menu Texts we have the option of traceability. The main function is to determine the
trajectory of a product or batch of products along the supply chain.
In this section we can find: Additional Data, Classes and Batch of Animals.

4.7.2.1 Traceability Tables

In this section we can register, edit or delete additional data. In this point you edit the questions and
answers of the traceability, that later will be associated to the class and to the Bach of animals.

If you want to edit the additional data you have to press on add

Note:
If any element of the answers group is selected by the traceability
point, it will not be possible to erase it until it is removed from those
points.

If we program a traceability table containing country information, the country code must match with
the country code of the table ISO 3166. This way, if we read a barcode that contains this
information, it will be read correctly.

The “AI Code” field allows you to add batches using EAN 128 codes. This code represents the batch so
that when you want to add batches of said class, said AI must display on the first block.

When an AI is read in the “AI for weight” field, the weight is recorded in the batch (“Entry weight” field).
For each question we have another field, that is, the AI which represents the question. When said AI is
read, the value read is saved as an answer to the question, or the corresponding one in the traceability
table.

Special AIs
It allows you to assign part of the value to the batch‟s answers, that is, you can indicate that a question
occupies position 1 of the value, another, position 2, etc.

49-MDFS000EN18 82
 DFS
This is the AI 950. The total value of this AI can be assigned or it can be assigned in parts. The
positions of the value that can be read are: 1, 2, 3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9.

4.7.2.3 Batch of Animals

In this section we can register, edit or delete Animal‟s lot. It refers to animals such as cow, tuna…We
can edit a maximum of 99. The scale allows a maximum of 99 batches, but we can have 65535 in the
PC because this is de maximum value of the batch code.

Clicking on . Appears the menu Animal‟s Lot.

When you press on Class‟s bottom it appears the Class menu .

49-MDFS000EN18 83
Manual
The button in the list of batches allows you to add batches by reading the EAN 128. Press this button to
open a window in which you will only need to select the class for which you wish to add the batch and
read the EAN 128. On reading, it seeks the AI of the batch of the class selected. If said AI is found in the
code read, the program will take the value of AI as a description of the batch. If said batch exists, the
program alerts you and will do nothing with it. If the batch does not exist, the program will continue to
seek the AIs of the questions and will take the value of the AIs for the answers. There are 5 seconds for
reading parts of EAN 128 as it may be divided up. If the program finds all the AIs of the class, it will save
it automatically. If it finds the weight AI while reading the codes, it will save it together with the batch.

Trays sold: Number of lines sold of product with said batch.

Weight sold: Sum of the weights sold of products with said batch.
Amount sold: Sum of the amount sold of products with said batch.

Receipt fields are updated with said sales.

Label fields are updated with said sales.
Receipt-label fields are updated with all kinds of sales.
Text-weight-percentage fields are fields which help define the total weight of the batch. Each weight or
percentage written here is added to the entry weight in order to obtain a final resulting weight: Weight of
the batch.
In addition, at the screen listing the batches added, the program informs of the status of the batches.
The 3 status are as follows:

Error: - More weight than that defined in the batch has been sold.
- The expiration date has passed.

Warning: - more than 80% of the weight of the batch has been sold.
- Less than three days left to the expiry date of the batch.

Normal: None of the previous cases has occurred.

The batches can be sent to the scales by instant dispatch. They are sent as additions or removals
depending on whether the “Active” column is checked or not, that is, if said column is checked, it will be
sent as an addition. Otherwise it will be sent as a removal.
Once the dispatch has been made to the scale, a request for batches is made in which the scale sends
you the batches it contains. The scale tree displays the batches there are in each scale.

 DFS
Sending:
Clients are sent through the instant sending that is in the client list. After completing the shipping, a
client request will be done to the scales to find out what clients does each scale have and to represent
them in the scales tree.

Receiving
It is possible to add new clients received from a scale (only from 1 scale). This should be done enabling
the parameter “Import clients” of the scale. Only one scale can have this parameter at “YES” and only
clients received from that scale will be added to the Data Base. If a received client does not exist, it will
be created. Else it will be updated. When we receive clients from a scale, the name of the client on the
scale is saved in the association table. This way we can see the real clients that scale has,
independently if we modify or not them in DFS.

Creation/Deletion
The field “Active” defines the state of a client. If it is checked, the client will be added when we do
shipping. If it is not checked it will be deleted on the next shipping.

4.8 Formats
4.8.1 Groups of ticket headers
In this section we can register, edit or remove groups of ticket headers.
It is possible to group, sort, etc. the columns. For more information about grids, see section 9. DFS

The total available space varies according to the type of EAN/CODE that is being programmed (Global,
relating to a section or an article).

The set of characters A enables upper case letters and numbers.

The set of characters B enables upper case letters, lower case letters and numbers.
The set of characters C only enables numbers and these must ALWAYS even. It is up to the user to
ensure that the set of characters C includes an EVEN number of characters or the format will be
incorrect.

Once created, they are assigned to the required location.

-10 article texts but there is no EAN/Code128
-9 texts + 1 EAN 128 which is 24 characters long
-8 texts + 1 EAN 128 which is 48 characters long
-7 texts + 1 EAN 128 which is 72 characters long
In the dropdown format EAN 128 options menu, enter the format. You see how the EAN
data is distributed among texts 7, 8 and 9 of the article.

If an EAN longer than is permitted for printing is entered, the program will shorten it without prior
notice.
The L does not have section EANs.
The DataBar 14 must be selected where we select EAN13, with the difference that we can send up
to 13 characters.
The DataBar Expanded must be selected where we select EAN128, with the difference that it
contains up to 73 characters but it does not need control characters.

The structure of an EAN128 is as follows:

INICIO + FNC1+ IA DATOS + IA DATOS +..........
If there are no FCN1 characters, it will be considered a CODE 128 and there will be no detection of IAs.

To select the origin of the EAN-128, program the “EAN128 Format” setting ( Menu 3.6.8) with one of
the following values:
- 0: The Global EAN will be printed.
- 1: the section EAN will be printed.
- 2: The article EAN will be printed.

If a Section EAN or an Article EAN is selected and they are not programmed, the Global EAN will be
printed.
If the Global EAN is not programmed, nothing will be printed.

To print an EAN/CODE 128 you need to add the label‟s field 54. In this way you can have an
EAN/CODE 128 and an EAN13 on the same label at the same time.

If the price is checked, the price that appears in the association will be sent. If it is not checked, the
general price of the article is the one that will be sent.
If the direct key is checked, the direct key described in the association will be sent to the scale. If it is
unchecked, the direct key of the article is the one that will be sent.

To change the price or direct key of one of the items of a group, tick to select. You can then have the
same item at one price in a group and at another in a different group. The same applies for the direct
key.

In order to associate the desired scale or scales with the different groups, just drag them to the desired
group.

A scale can only be associated with one group of items per scale, but several scales can be associated
with the same group. An item can be associated in as many groups of items per scale as you wish.

In addition, when editing a scale, you can select a group of items per scale.

Whenever an item is sent to a scale (remember that the item‟s section must be associated with the
scale in order to be able to do so), the price is sent with the following priority:
1- Price assigned in item associations per scale (provided it is checked in the adjoining column).
