PRESENTATION
The ICG® group was born in 1985 with the goal to put at the
users disposal computerized solutions to adjust perfectly to
their needs. To reach this goal, we use the last technology in
hardware and the most powerful development tools in
management software.
Almost 20 years later the ICG software solutions are translated

to 10 languages and contemplate the commercial and fiscal
needs of European Countries (Spain, Portugal, United
Kingdom, Italy, Holland, Sweden, Norway and Finland),
America (Canada, United States, Mexico, Panama, Argentina,
Uruguay and Brazil) and Oceania (Australia and New
Zealand).
FrontRest has been thought for you and it is characterized by

its interaction with the user and because it is easy to use, by
an open design, by its functionality, by an internal structure
with a professional and solid programming and by the use of a
client / server data base that guarantees in every moment the
security and liability of the data.
We congratulate you for your choose and we hope that

FrontRest helps you in your daily management and in the
future plans of your(s) business(s) it fulfils satisfactorily,
because, finally this has been the purpose of its
development.
The management.

INTRODUCTION
The ICG® Point of Sale Software is a very intuitive and easy to
use work tool. Thanks to the visual interaction with the user, it
does not request any training or computer knowledge. All the
sale functions, control, statistics are designed to Touch
Screens: “What the waiter sees in the screen is what the
waiter gets”, avoiding that way, expensive training process for
the user.
The main characteristics are:
• Sales on hold by tables, waiter or by client
• Graphic display of the tables status
• Control of complementaries and returns
• Different sale prices by sessions
• Personalization of the sale screen
• Different functions by waiter
• Daily cash close
• Creation of specials
• Orders printout to kitchen / grill / bar / …
• Printout in several languages
• Connection with scales (items sold by weight)
• Fast combinations
• Presence control of employees
• Sales by Sizes: shots, combinations, glass with ice
• Magnetic cards or chip
• Multi-currency (euros, dollars…)
• Control of pending collections
• Clients accounts
This User Guide explains how to configure and use the

hospitality FRONT. This is a general guide; Get familiar with
the content of the user guide before starting to configure the
functions that you are going to work with.

Description of the screens

Employee selection Screen

The first screen that appears is the employee selection one
There are different ways to select an employee.
If you have not defined user passwords, the employee should

touch over the employee’s picture.
If you have defined user passwords, the employee should

enter the password in the numeric keypad.
If you are using employee cards, the employee should pass

the card by the magnetic strip reader.
If you have configured a digital fingerprint reader, the

employee can login by placing the finger on the device.

NOTE: To define the passwords of the users, go to the section

Configuration – Employees.
The hospitality Fronts incorporate a system that controls the
log in and log out of the employees. If it is active, in order that
the employee photo appears in the screen, the employee
should register previously in the system from this screen by
touching the button Entry entering the password or by passing
the card. When the work shift has finished, the employee
should register the exit in the system by pressing the button
Exit.
NOTE: To define passwords, see the section Configuration –

Employees.
There are two ways of working:
• Requesting the employee in each sale: Each time that you

finish a sale or you press over the function button Hold (see
Function buttons – Hold).
To work this way, you should mark the option Request

Seller for each operation. See Configuration – Wizard –
Employees.
• Requesting the seller only once: Once the employee has

been chosen, it will only be possible to accede to the
employee selection screen through the function button Hold.
See Function Buttons – Hold.
To work this way, you should mark the option Request

Seller only once. See Configuration – Wizard –
Employees.

Tables Screen
Now we are going to describe each one of the sections that are
part of this screen:
In the top part of the screen, in blue, there is the working date
that corresponds with the date of the sales that you are
making.
In the central part there is the bar and the tables.
In the lower part you can find the function buttons. To know its
working see Function Buttons.
For further information about how to configure this screen see

Configuration – Rooms.

Internally, the tables are different to obtain statistics of sales by

bar and by tables. Each table or “seat” of the bar has a number
assigned to identify it. All the seats of the bar can have the
same number.
When a table is occupied, it is showed in blue colour, both the

table and the number, in the case of the bar, only the colour of
the number that identifies this “seat” will change the colour. In
the example he tables 8 and 17 and the “seats” 33 and 36 of
the bar.
If we have made a subtotal (see Function Buttons –

Subtotal), the number will be showed in red. In the example, a
subtotal has been done to the table 20.

User Options Screen
This screen is totally configurable and it is composed by a

group of function buttons for each type of user (see
Configuration – Options and Configuration – Employee
Types). To know the working of each one of these buttons see
Function Buttons.
You can configure this screen:
- From the menu of files with the option Options (see

Configuration – Options) or
- From the Wizard in the section of Configuration Access /

Options (see Configuration – Wizard – Configuration
Access / Options).
To return to the previous screen press Cancel.

Sale Screen
This screen serves to choose the items of the sale.
2 3 4 1 7 8 5 6 9
10 11 12 13 14
We now detail each of the points that are part of this screen:
1. Employee Panel: You can display different data and you

can assign a function, as it was a function button. See
Configuration – Wizard – Configuration Sales Screen –
Sales Screen – Configuration Sales Screen.
2. Label Date of the current cash count: It shows the

working data.
3. Label Initial Hour of the sale: It shows the hour that the
sale has started at. It is very useful for the statistics.
4. Label current Hour: It shows the current hour of the

system.
5. Sections: It serves to classify the items. At this point the

sections and the defined fixed items groups are displayed in
the configuration. The groups of fixed items are showed in the
first place (see Configuration – Fixed items), but in order to
show the sections it is necessary to have deactivated the
property Do not show the sections in the sales screen (see
Configuration – Wizard – Sections).
6. Items. The items that have active the property Show in the
sales screen, see Configuration – Items. The items can be
part of a section, a group of fixed item or even do not have any
section.
7. Label Table. This is only a title.
8. Label Number of Table. It indicates the number of table to

which these items will be charged.
9. Label Employee. It indicates the number of the selected

employee for the sale.
10. Sizes. An item that is sold by sizes can be served in

different sizes: glass, cup, etc. In this section the available
sizes for the selected item are showed (see Configuration –
Sizes).
11. Orders. It displays the lines of the sale. When we pick up

an item, its units, its description and its amount will be showed.

If the item is of sale by time, it will have a different colour which

will be dark blue (Configuration – Items – Invoicing by time).
12. Numeric keypad.
13. Function Buttons. To configure this section, see

Configuration – Options – Sale Screen.
14. Display. It shows the data of the last operation, number of

units x price per unit, subtotal and total. It can also have a
function assigned as if it was a button. See Configuration –
Wizard – Configuration Sale Screen – Sale Screen –
Configuration Sale screen.
NOTE: To exit from this screen to the employees selection

screen press the button Hold .

Total Screen
The total screen is divided in the following sections:
1 2 3 4 5
1.Cancel Button: Go back to the sale screen.
6 7 10 8 9
11
12 13
2. Button Do Not print: It finishes the sale without printing the

document. The sale cannot be finished without printing the
document if the property Hide button do not print in the total
screen is activated in the Configuration Wizard – Documents /
Languages.
3. Round Button: It displays a screen where the current total is

indicated and the amount to pay is showed. This button is not
operative if the property Allow to round sales of the type of user
associated to the employee is deactivated. See Configuration –
Type of employees.
4. Selector Payment Types: In this selector the payment types

are displayed (see Configuration – Payment Types). Selecting
a payment type, this one will be assigned to the sale. If the
payment type has a different currency associated to the
document, the conversion will be done in an automatic way and
the amount to pay in the new currency will be displayed.
If the amount associated to the payment type is less than the total
of the sale, it adds a new line in the frame of selected payment
types (point 6) to assign the rest of the amount to another
payment type.
If the amount is bigger, it appears the extra payment in the frame

to return (point 7).
In function of the total amount of the sale (if it is positive or

negative) the program will propose the payment type to assign
depending on the assigned parameters in Sale with positive
amount and Sale with negative amount in the Configuration
Wizard, Configuration Currencies / Payment Types .
5. Selector of the document design: the ICG Front allows to

create one or several printout design for each one of the
documents (receipts, invoices, etc…) To finish the sale with the
printout of the document, it is necessary to select a printout
design from the selector. To modify the design or to create new
designs consult Configuration – Wizard – Documents /
Languages.
6. Frame of selected payment types: It displays the payment

types assigned to the sale. To enter the amount of each payment
type you can use the numeric keypad (point 9) or select the bills
/ pieces delivered by the client in the bills / pieces selector
(point 8). Finally press Intro.

7. Frame To Return: If the sum of the amounts associated to the

selected payment types exceeds to the total amount of the sale,
there is an extra payment, which is displayed in the frame to
return. The program returns the change in function to the
configuration of the currencies (see Configuration –
Currencies). If the change should be a tip, press the button Tip
(see Tip point 10).
8. Bills / pieces selector: In this selector are displayed the

fractions in bills and pieces of the last selected payment type.
See Configuration – Currencies. To enter the amount delivered
by the client, you can use the numeric keypad or select the bills
and/ or coins delivered by the client that will be summed up to the
total amount. The selector is very useful to avoid errors when we
enter the amounts.
9. Frame Numeric Keypad: Keypad to enter numbers in a

terminal with touch screen.
10. Tip: If we press this button, the destination of the extra

payment will not be change but go directly to the cash. When we
make the cash count it will be reflected in the sections Cash and
Summary of Tips. See Reports and Graphics – Cash Counts.
11. Client Data: If you have assigned a client, the data will be
showed here.
NOTE: the pending amount appears substituted by question

marks. In order that the employee can see this amount, it will be
necessary to have the property Allow to see the pending
balance of the clients. See Configuration – Type employees.
12. Amount Label: It displays the total amount of the sale,

expressed in the main currency.

13. Change: It shows the amount to return in case of extra

payment that is not a tip.

Clients Selection Screen
You can accede to them from two different points:
1. By Pressing, in the Sales Screen or in the User Options, the

function button Client (it will appear the clients selection
screen).
2. From the screen of clients maintenance (see Configuration -

Clients) pressing the button Search.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
1. Accept: Once you have selected the client, press over this
button to confirm the selection.

2. Cancel: Exit from this screen without selection any client.
3. Grid Client Data: In this grid are showed the data of the
clients file. The first of the list has a blue background colour,
which means that it is selected.
4. File: It accedes directly to the client’s file, particularly to the

file of the currently selected client (see Configuration –
Clients). To have access to this, the employee should have
marked the property Access to the Clients maintenance in
the configuration of the type of employee (see Configuration –
Type of employees).
5. Summary: It displays a sales summary of the selected client

in the list, indicating the items that have been sold, with the
date, units, description, discount in line, amount and final
discount.
6. Filter: This screen allows applying filters when we select a

client. You can filter by code, name, surnames, telephone or
VAT number. In Filter you have to enter the number or text
included in the field that you want to filter by. Then press the
corresponding button to the filter that you want to apply and the
list of occupants that fulfil the requirements.
7. Keyboard: It shows/hides the virtual keyboard useful for the

terminals with touch screen.
8. All: Deactivates all the filters.
9. Code: Filters by client code.
10. Accounting code: Filters by accounting code.

11. Check Enter only numeric characters: It actives locking

so the Filter (point 5) only allows to enter numbers.
12. Name (F5): It applies the filter to search the clients which
name started to the text indicated in Filter.
13. Telephone (F7): It applies the filter to search by telephone

number. It should coincide the telephone completely with the
indicated in Filter.
14. Rate: It filters by rate.
15. VAT Num (F10): It applies the filter to search by VAT Num.
Like the telephone, it should also coincide
16. More characters: It shows a

special keyboard to enter special
characters through a touch screen
or by using the mouse.
17. Movement first / last: It

selects the first / last client of the
grid of the data.
18. Movement previous / next It selects the client located in

the previous/ next to the one that we are located.
NOTE: All the filters are accumulative, that means that if we

filter first by name and after by surnames, the result of the
search will be probably less and the location of the client will
be easier.

Screen Items Selection
This screen is used when we want to pick an item and enter in

its file in the items maintenance. See Configuration – Items.
To locate quickly an item, it is necessary to write a chain of

characters in the field Filter and press one of the following
options:
Reference (F7): It displays all the items which reference starts

by the chain of characters entered in the field Filter.
Description (F8): It displays all the items which description

starts by the chain of characters entered in the field Filter.
Section (F9): It displays the items of the entered section in
Filter.
See only Sets: It displays only the items that have marked the
property It is a Set in the properties of the item. See
Configuration – Items – Properties.
All the References: By pressing this icon, you will see all the
references of all the items. The items that do not have any
reference will not appear. See Configuration – Items –
References.
Partial Filter (F2): if you press this button and enter, in filter, a
chain of characters (letters and/or numbers) then press the
button Reference or Description, the result of the search by
reference or by description, will be those items that contain this
chain of characters in any position of the reference or
description, respectively, not only in the beginning.
To accede to the file of the item (see Configuration – Items),

press twice in it from this screen, or well, once it is selected, by
pressing Accept. To create a new item, display the file of any
of them and from this one press the button New.
Remove Filters (Ctrl+Del): It removes the applied filters to

start a new search.
NOTE: All the filters are accumulative, that means, that if we

filter first by reference and then by description, the result of the
search will be probably less and the location of the item will be
easier.
Order of the Selection: If you want to sort by any of the

columns (reference, description, section, family...) you should
simply press in the top part of the column. The background
colour of the font colour will change from white to yellow and
the result of the search will be sorted by that column.

Sales Operative

Make a Sale
Before reading this section, ICG advise you to see the previous
section Screens Description, because continually we are
going to mention these and it will be very useful to get familiar
to them in order to make easy the comprehension of the sales
operative.
The sale operative is based in four different sections:
1. Select an employee.
2. Select a table or a “seat” of the table.
3. Select the items to sell in the Sales Screen.
4. Finish the sale.
There are three ways of working with the hospitality Fronts:

Restaurant Mode, Café Mode and Discotheque Mode. The
Restaurant Mode use the tables screen, while the others work
with direct sale:
• Restaurant Mode: It obligates to the employee to select a

table or a “seat” in the bar before making a sale (point 2 of
the sale operative).
• Café Mode: It normally uses the sale screen but in a certain

moment the tables screen can be used.
• Discotheque: It never uses the tables screen. This mode is

also used by Fast Foods.

Now we will explain the configuration of each of them:
Restaurant Mode
It obligates to the employee to select a table or a “seat” of the

bar before making a sale.
Configuration
To be able to use the Tables Screen, you have to select the

property Use the tables screen (see Configuration – Wizard
– Configuration Sales Screen).
Besides you should select the option Tables Screen as Main

can use the tables screen.
Configuration
To be able to use the Tables Screen you should have

selected the property Use the tables screen (see
Configuration – Wizard – Configuration Sale Screen).
You should select the option Sale Screen as Main (see

Configuration – Wizard – Sale Screen Configuration).
To have access to the tables screen, you should use the

function button Tables. See Function Buttons – Tables.
Discotheque Mode

It never uses the tables screen. This mode it is also used by

Fast Foods.
Configuration
Normally the property Use tables screen not active, that way,
the columns room and table will not appear in the sales list
(see Configuration – Wizard – Configuration Sale Screen).
You should select the option Sale Screen as Main (see

Configuration– Wizard – Configuration Sale Screen).
Sale operative
The sale operative is similar for the three cases. The

differences are going to be commented in each section.
1. Select an employee
Select an employee in the Employees Selection Screen.
2. Choose a table or a “seat” of the bar.
Restaurant Mode:
Once the employee has been selected, the Tables Screen
appears.

sales will go.
Café Mode and Discotheque:

It goes directly to the next section.
3. Select the items to sell in the Sale Screen.

Tables Screen through the function button Tables and exit
from it through the function button Return Sale.
Discotheque Mode:

In case that the size is a combination, that means, that it is

composed of a first and second part, once you have selected
the size you will be requested with which item you want to
combine it. Lets see an example: If you select JB from the
liquors section, you will be asked with which size do you want
to sell it, if you indicate combination, in the display you will see
this question “Which item do you want to combine with?” you

have to answer by selecting, for example, from the sodas

section, Coca-Cola.

In the items that have selected the propriety It is sold by

weight See Configuration – Items – Proprieties), when you
select one of these items, Front C/S will read through the
series port where the scale is connected, the value of the
weight indicating the same and will enter it in the field Units.
External Scales
Use this option when the scale that you have, instead of being
connected directly to the computer and pick up only the weight,
it generates a bar code that identifies the item.
There are two different bar codes generated by the scale: By

weight or by amount.
Bar codes by weight:
You can use the letters of R(reference), W(weight), V(seller).
• The positions 1 and 2 indicate if the bar code is weight or

price (look which are the numbers that the manufacturer
indicates).
• The positions 3 to 12 can be configured to assign optionally

the reference, the weight and the seller code. When you
assign the values of the reference and the weight to this item
you should take into account that if it has less than the
indicated digits, you will have to fill in the previous ones with
ceros (Ej. If the reference in the scale is 5 you should enter in
the program 00005).

• The 13th position will indicate the control digit.
NOTE: These are relative positions, and can be changed to

adjust to the needs of the sale.
Bar code by amount:
You can use the letters of R(reference), I(amount), V(seller).
• The positions 1 and 2 indicate if the bar code is weight or if it

is price (look which are the digits that the manufacturer
indicates)
• The positions 3 to 12 can be configured to assign optionally

the item, the amount and the seller code. When you assign
the values of the reference and the amount to this item, you
should take into account that if it has less than the indicated
digits, you will have to fill in the previous ones with ceros (Ej.
If the reference in the scale is 5 you should enter in the
program 00005).
• The 13th position will indicate the control digit.
NOTE: These are relative positions, and can be changed to

adjust to the needs of the sale.
TeleComanda
Add this device if you want to use a TeleComanda hand

terminal. See the corresponding user manual for the
available configurable options.
Communication

Front C/S can communicate with the management and

accounting tool ICGManager through our own communications
system.
Property: Activate communication

It displays the configuration files of the communications:
General, FTP Configuration, Hotel Link and E-Mail.
Button See Registers: This button give access to the screen

of communication incidences. This is a detailed register of
each one of the communications that has been done through
Front C/S.
At the left side, it appears the list of the registers of all the done
communications, if you press over one of them, you will see at

the right side its content, detailed report of each of the steps
done in the communication and its result.
The button Delete from this screen deletes all the registers.
Button Export / Import: It gives access to the exportation or

importation screen. By pressing the respective buttons, the
task will be executed.
You can also define which data you are going to send: Sales,
Clients, Items, I/O Registers (of employees) and auxiliary
tables (sections).
For the sales you can pickup the cash counts to send, while for
the three next you can indicate from which date or all.
You will send the sales of the POS that have marked the
property Export.
To select one POS or another, you should press over the line
in the list of the left.


General
In this file you can configure the automatic communication

properties:
Export when making a Z cash count

Export to a file just after making the Z cash count. See
Function Buttons – Z. This file will be stored in the export
directory.
Import when enter into the program

When we run Front C/S, the program will search and import
the files that are in the import path.

Run Client Host when exit.

In case that we have ICGManager and Front C/S separated in
a remote way, that means, that they are never in the same
network, Front C/S can communicate with ICGManager
through a modem in a point to point communication, that is to
say, the telephone that connects the two computers to transfer
data. FrontHost is the ICG´s program that allows leaving your
computer waiting until the central computer calls and
communicates with it. It will be the central the ones that
communicates.
Export when exit from the application

It will export when you press the function button Exit and pick
up Exit to Windows or Turn off the system. The file
generated will be stored in the exportation path.
Communication through FTP.

Communication through FTP implies that the files that should
be transferred from the central to the point of sale or the way
around are stored in an intermediate computer called FTP
Server, that as well as the central as the point of sale in an
independent way.
This communication is done through a telephonic connection to

Internet. Once connected to Internet the program accedes to
the FTP Server, configured in the FTP Configuration file that
appears when we mark this property, and send and receive the
stored files in the respective mailbox. See in this section,
exportation and importation directories.
Export automatically at:

If you have marked the previous property it is possible to
configure that it automatically communicates at a determined
hour. It indicates the hour, minutes and seconds separated by
“:” that the program will automatically export.

Telephonic Connection.
If you have access to Internet through LAN, it is not necessary
to specify any name, but if you do it through a modem, you
should specify the name of the telephonic access connection
defined in Windows.
Try again automatically.
We indicate the number of retries in case of error and the
separation time between them.
Exportation Path.
This is the directory where you store the exportation files. By
default it is C:\ICG\FRONT\MAIL\OUT. In the case that you
have ICGManager available in the same local network, ICG
advise to share the folder Mail, that is in the directory where
the FrontHost (communications program for ICGManager)
executable is, and that captures in the net so that the export
directory is the in mailboxes of the FrontHost program.
Example \\Server\Mail\Front1\IN in case that the Front Code
is 1 (see Configuration – System – Terminal -Code), and
that the computer where ICGManager is, is called in the net
:Server.
Importation Path.
This is the path from you have to recuperate the imported files.
By default it is C:\ICG\FRONT\MAIL\IN. In case that you have
ICGManager in the same local network, as we have
commented in the exportation path, you should share the
folder Mail and capture the out mailbox of FrontHost.
Example: \\Server\Mail\Front1\OUT in case that the Front
code is 1 (see Configuration – System – Terminal – Code),
and that the computer where you have ICGManager is called
in the net: Server.
NOTE: If you have ICGManager in the local network, in

FrontHost, you should configure the communication through
modem without indicating the telephone number.
FTP Configuration
Transfer directory in the FTP server.

In the FTP server should exist a folder that contains the
directory IN and OUT, that will be the mailbox for the
importation and exportation files. Here you have to indicate the
directory of the FTP server where this folder is. If in the ftp the
folder IN is in: /ftp/Front1/IN, here you should indicate
/ftp/Front1.
The Username, Password and Host data have to be provided

by the company that you contract this FTP server with. ICG
puts at your disposal, an FTP Server, please contact with our
commercial department.
Link Hotel
The ICG hospitality fronts allow you to link your sales with ICG
Front C/S or with other software of external hotels. For this we
will select in this screen the destination that we want to give to
the data:
• External files from the type Access, ASCII or XBase. We

have to configure also the directory where the Front will
leave these files.

• Use special tax: Only available for certain countries.

• Apply to all the room: It assigns the Receipts and

Invoices printer to all the tables of the room.
A very interesting option is the one that can be observed in
the left side of the screen. Its mission is let us input one or
several items in an order with the fact of opening a table.
One of the uses can be to assign the ‘cover’ to the table in

the case of obliged payment.
You can also use it to occupy a table until the moment you
take note of it. We will create an item with 0 price with a
description that can be ‘Welcome’ or ‘Occupied’, and then
just opening it, it will be occupied.
Those items can only be assigned by table (the case of the

occupation), or by cover (the case of the cover).

Warehouse
It will accede to the warehouses data maintenance, having the

possibility to create, delete, modify and configure the different
warehouses. See Configuration – System – Terminal.
To point out two special options:
Minimum stock
This is the value by default that the program will take when we
make a purchase or a transfer for an item that does not have a
minimum stock it its file for this warehouse.
Maximum Stock
This is the same than the previous section but referring to the
maximum stock.

Factor.
It is not useful in Front C/S if you do not have available
ICGManager. It serves when you make purchases, in the
forecast, the quantities will be multiplied by this factor, so that
depending on what you want the order will be twice, triple, etc,
of the configured by default.
Series Transfers / Reposition.

It is the series that it will be assigned to the transfers/
repositions in case that you have FrontRest.

Clients
Clients’ maintenance. To accede to this screen, it is necessary

to have the propriety Access to clients’ maintenance active
in Types of employee. See Configuration – Employee type.
We can point out some important points from the item file:
Propriety: Associate to Generic Clients.

To associate to generic clients implies that when we end a
sale, we will generate a document with the receipts series if we
use the method of associated client (Appendix 1.
Determination of a documents series). Besides, if you have
ICGManager, the accounting of the sales will be done to the
generic clients account defined in the configuration of the
company in Front Host (ICG´s communications program). On
the contrary, if we do not associate to the generic account,
when we finished a sale, a document with the invoices series
will be generated and the sales are taking into their own
accounting code, see the file of this screen Company data.
Field: Type.
This field, (Do not confuse with Type of Client – see File Type
of Client) it permits to classify the clients for, for example to
invoice all of the same type, which can be the ones of a route,
a city, etc.
Company Data.
Points out the accounting code. If the client is associated to

Generic clients, will be the defined in Front Host (ICG´s
communications program to communicate Front C/S with
ICGManager). If not, the accounting root of clients 4300 +
client code will be used. Account with 8 numbers. Example: To
the client 10001, the account will be 43010001.
Payment Type/Rates
The data corresponding to the payment type, rate, discount,

observations and credit limit, if it is necessary to apply the
surtax and also the payment days.
NOTE: The field credit limit is just informative
Bank Data
Enter here the bank data of the client (this field is just
informative).

Type of Client
NOTE: You can only apply it for FrontHotel C/S.
In this field you classify the client as Particular / Company or

travel agency / Tour Operator. The difference is that to the first
ones you are collecting in the moment you make the Check
Out (see Sale operative – Check Out), and in seconds, you
invoice them directly through the function button Travel
Agencies (see Operative of Sale – Invoicing Travel
Agencies).

Taxes
It is necessary to distinguish between types of tax and taxes:
The types of taxes are the independent taxes, VAT, Surtax,

etc., each one of them with their corresponding percentages.
None the less, taxes are formed by types of taxes having the
possibility to accumulate.
To make this more understanding lets see an example of

configuration.
Because of the international of this product, it is necessary to

classify the types of taxes for the European or Canadian
system.
Just select the correct option.

For Europe, mark System of taxes calculation as European.
You can suppose that you have items with 7 % and 16 %.
Define the Types of tax:
Type Tax 1:
Code Description Percentage Accounting Cod.
1 IVA 7 % 7 47700000
Type Tax 2:
2 IVA 16% 16 47700001
Define Taxes:
Tax 1:
Code Description Code Description
1 IVA 7%
Tax 2:
Code Description Code Description
IVA16 %
In the items file you should indicate in the items file, in the
taxes, the tax code, not the code of the type of tax.
In case that you have defined the taxes with surtax:

Define two types of taxes referring to the surtaxes:
Type Tax 1:

3 R.Eq. 4 % 4 47700000
Type Tax 2:

4 R.Eq. 1 % 1 47700001
Redefine the Taxes:

Tax 2:
Code Description
2 IVA AL 16 % Surtax

Number of consumptions to print.

There exists in the hospitality Front C/S a control system of
entrances with right to consumption, so that they cannot be
used more than once.
This system allows to make a control about the invitation /

consumption from the moment of the sale / delivery, until the
moment of the consumption.
Front C/S allows generating and printing the consumptions

automatically in the moment that we make the sale of the
entrance. When we sell an item that should generate a coupon
-consumption, Front C/S generates and prints a document /
coupon with a bar code that identifies the generated
consumptions. This coupon once its sale has been done
(consumption) will be useless for the next consumptions.

If we work with consumptions control in function of the sold

entrances we will select this option.
Rate of the consumptions

Rate that will be applied to the consumptions. See Appendix
3 Consumptions.
Invoicing by time
It is possible to have items that are invoiced by time of use as,

for example, tennis-court. To configure it, select the property
Invoicing by time.
Property: Invoicing by time.

The invoicing by time is a process in which the amount of the
item sale is measured by the interval of time that passes since
you select the item until the moment you totalise it. The final
amount will be the result to multiply the units of time that have
passed by the price fixed by time units.
To be able to sell an item by this method, it will be necessary

to active the property of the item Invoice by time and define
the fraction of time that you are going to invoice with from the
items file.
Once you have defined these parameters, when you select the
item during the sale Front C/S will save the start hour and
when you totalise the sale, it will calculate the factions of time
passed from the start hour until now. This value will be
multiplied by the units fixed during the sale and it will assign it
to the units to invoice, calculating finally the total amount of the
sale.
The function button Finish sale by time, available in the Sale

Screen, it allows to totalise manually the items of the current

sale. That way it will not be necessary to finish the sale to

totalise an only line of the order.
In this option you should active the property Invoice by time.
If you active this property it appears a panel where you can
define the fraction of time that will be used to invoice. (the
amount of the sale of the item will be equal to the fraction
consumed by the price of the item).
From this option you can define also a correction margins. This
parameter lets you to determine which percentage of the
defined fraction is necessary the passes so that the price of a
fraction will be invoiced.
For example: If you invoice every 5 minutes and the passed

time has been 7 minutes and 30 seconds, if the configured
margin is 60% the program will invoice only one fraction, while
if the margin is 40% the program will invoice two fractions. This
parameter is common for all the items.

In case than the consumed time does not arrive to a fraction,

the program will invoice one fraction independently to the
defined margin.
“CLOSE” AN INVOICING BY TIME ITEM
Front C/S allows to the user to totalise (it calculates the

amount) on line of the order with an item that it is sold by
fractions of time in two different ways: Automatically and
manually.
• Automatic Method: If, from the Total Screen you try to

totalise an order that contains lines with “open” items, the
program will inform you of the situation, having the possibility
to automatically totalise the lines. In this case the program will
calculate the amount of the lines of the order that are not
“closed” automatically and it will “close” them in order to
generate the total amount of the receipt
• Manual Method: Using the function button Finish sale by

time, available in the Sale Screen, it will be showed all the
lines of the order that are invoiced by intervals of time and
that are not yet “closed”. Allowing to totalise (“Close”) the
lines that you want. This option is very useful to “close” lines
without having to totalise the order, having the possibility to
add later more items of this type. See Function Buttons –
Finish Sale by Time.

NOTES AND CONSIDERATIONS
• In the sale screen, if the item is invoiced by time, the program

will not accumulate the units when uninterruptedly, you select
the same item. The program will let you fix the units and then
select the item (n + Item).
• An item that is invoiced by time cannot be sold with sizes or

be part of the second part of a size of the type combinations.
• When you “close” an item manually, in the order of the Sale

Screen, you will be able to distinguish the items that are still
“open” because it will be showed in dark blue.
• When you select an item that it is invoiced by time the

program will show by default a fraction of time, to totalise the
sale the units (fractions) to invoice.

Sets
You can accede to them from the items file through the button
Components. (See Configuration – Items property: It is a
Set.)
A Set is a composed item. In this screen are indicated the

components and you have several options:
It recalculates the Costs of the Sets: When making a

purchase it will calculate the cost of each item. Press this
button to recalculate the costs of the components.

Menu
To accede to the wizard menu, you have to do it from the

function button Files and in that appears by pressing the
option Menu.
From the menu screen we can combine items of different

sections to develop a menu. For example, we can have a fixed
menu every day and an special menu for the weekends. Follow
the basic instructions to create the menus.
To create one new press New and follow the instructions of the
program.
Fill in the details in the Menu properties and assign an image.

The program generates as many modifiers as the menu has
plates.
In the file Components menu, you have to select the items

that are part of each course.
You can modify the menus daily from this Option.

Finally press Save.

Combinations
Front C/S lets to the user to create elements called

combinations. These elements are “virtual items” because they
are composed by items related by a size of the type
combination. The combinations cannot be included in any
section because are combined with items with section.
Because of this, these should be assigned in a fixed items
group. See Configuration – Fixed items.
It is faster to sell a combination than select a item, a size of the

type combination and a second item.
Creation of Combinations
You should use this wizard in the creation of combinations to

create them. Follow the instructions of the screen.
First you should select the item that will be the first part of the
combination (In the left side, it will appear the sections and in
the right side the items that they contain). If you make a
mistake in the selection, press the button CL.

Once it has been selected, press the button Next.
In the screen that appears select the size (Combined) that you
want and press again Next.
NOTE: To create a combination it is necessary to use a size

defined as this. See Configuration – Sizes.
Now select the item that will be part of the second part of a
combination. If you select some, a combination for each of
them will be generated. Finally press Generate.

In the next page, enter the prices for each rate and then select
Exit.

To make sure that all the data is correct, you should press the
button Combinations. In the combinations maintenance
search the created combinations through the button Search
and check the data.
This screen is divided in three options: Main, Components

and Prices:
Main
From this file you can assign an icon or generate a bitmap for
each combination. The reference serves so that when we enter
directly from the sale screen, the item will be sold and also to
mark the order of appearance in this.
Components
In this section you can add or remove components and modify
its sizes.
Prices
Check here that the prices that we have assigned are corrects
for each rate.
NOTES AND CONSIDERATIONS

You have to take into account that the items that have to be
selected as component of the second part, do not have active
the property Cannot be combined in the second part of a
combination in the item file. See Configuration – Items –

Properties.
It is possible that in a combination the first part it is composed

by more than one item.
Comments
The comments serve to indicate any special characteristic of

an item. For example: Well done, Without salt, etc.
To accede to them you can use, from the Sale Screen, the
function button Load comments. See Function Buttons –
Load comments.
These can also be part of a group of modifiers. See modifiers.

See Configuration – Modifiers.

Modifiers
With the purpose to detail the preparation or accompaniment of

the courses, we can associate groups of modifiers to the items.
So for example, we can create modifiers where there can be
options as WELL DONE, MEDIUM, etc.. others of garnishing
as FRENCH FRIES, SALAD, etc, others or preparation like:
WITHOUT SALT, WITHOUT ONION, etc.
To Create Modifiers Groups
Press the button Modifiers located in the top right side.
The groups of modifiers can be composed by items (yellow

background) or by comments (white background).
Select New to enter a description to the group of modifiers.
SCREEN A

SCREEN B
To assign items, press Items and the sections will appear,

select one and the items that contain will be showed, then pick
up one and it will be assigned to this group of modifiers.
This is the same than the comments. When you select the
button Comments all the available ones will appear. If you
want, you can create new ones by pressing the File button
from the comments selection Screen.
In case that you have to assign a modifier to an item that

means a decrease of the stock, for example a French fries
portion for garnishing, we will assign the quantity that should
be decreased in the column size.
It is also possible to assign to each item or comment, from the

modifiers group, an increase in the price that will be added up
to the item that it modifies. For example: Pizza margarita 3 €,
modification Extra cheese 1€, the line Pizza margarita 4 € will
appear and under, the modifier +Extra cheese. See screen B
in the previous screen.
If you are wrong, select Remove.

When you have finished, press Save.
Assign modifiers groups to an item.
Go back to the items modifiers screen (see previous section

Screen A).
You should select the section, then select the item that you
want to add one or some groups of modifiers and mark over
each one of the ones that you want to assign the section
Available Modifiers (Top right side). The chosen group of
modifiers is copied in the section of Selected Modifiers. This
item has a group already assigned.
A group of modifiers can be a menu or have multi-selection;

that is to say, you can select more than one item of this group
as modifier.
To indicate that an assigned group have multi-selection, you

should select button of Selected Modifiers, then press Next
and mark the box “the modifier have multi-selection”
To indicate that it is of the type menu, press of Selected
Modifiers, mark the property The item is of the type menu,
press Next, and indicates to which part of the menu this group
will correspond starters (1), main course (2), desserts(3), etc.
Finally press Accept and press Exit. This way we will be
creating a menu in a manual way. See Configuration –
Menus.


Comments
In order to comment an item, we have the Comments. They let

you add information of the preparation, presentation, etc,
respect the item that they comment. For example, WITHOUT
SALT, WITHOUT PEPPER, etc. and normally, all that do not
implicate an stock movement. For these cases we have
modifiers.
To comment an item, we have the function button modifiers

Load comments.

Sizes
Front C/S will let you create items that can be sold in sizes.
For example the Vodka is an item that can be sold in a glass
alone or as a combination.

For each size we will define its reference and description
If the size is of the type combination, you should indicate the

size 1 that corresponds to the liquor and the size 2 that
corresponds to the other drink. If it is not a combination, then
you should only indicate the size 1.
It is also possible to assign it a bitmap. The sizes are assigned

to the items in its file in the option Prices / Sizes.

Prices / Size
From this screen you can assign the sizes in which the items
will be sold, and the price that they will have for each rate.
You should select a section and the items that you should
assign these sizes and prices. If any of the items has not
selected the property It is sold by portions (see
Configuration – Items – Properties), Front C/S will ask you if
you want to do it automatically.
To make easy the selection of all or none, use the

corresponding buttons: Select All or Select None.
If you need to create a size, you can accede to the sizes

maintenance by pressing the button F10 – Sizes. Finally press
Save and Exit.

Automatic printout to kichen
One of the most powerful and flexible options that hospitality

Fronts C/S has, is the automatic printout to kitchen.
This option is extremely configurable because it can adjust to
all the working system although they are very complexes.
Properties
Properties: It actives an automatic printout to kitchen

It activates and deactivates the automatic printout to kitchen for
the printers and for the screens.
Properties: Request configuration when enter into the program

With this option selected, when we enter into the program the
list of the different configurations of the printout to kitchen that
we have configured so that we can choose the one that

interest us.
Property: Screens Control by stock in manufacturing

See Appendix 5.
Property: Updating of screens in real time

When you work with kitchen screens, these show us the
contents of an order until we totalise the sale or we go back to
the tables screen. With this option selected, we can see the
result of what we enter in the order in real time, being updated
in the kitchen screen as we are entering the items.
The items will be in blue colour in the kitchen screen until the
moment the order is totalised to distinguish them from the
other. Once they have been totalised they will take the black
colour.
Buttons situations: It launches to the screen of maintenance

of situations. See Screens description – Items selection
Screen.
Screens Buttons: It accedes to the maintenance of kitchen

screens (OrderScreen y CookScreen). See Appendix 5.
Button auto printout: It accedes to the configuration of the

automatic printout to kitchen.
Situations
With this option you can create all the possible situations that
you can have in an installation. So if you have COLD
KITCHEN, HOT KITCHEN, WINE CELLAR AND BAR printers,
you should create the respective SITUATIONS.

It is advisable that the names of the situations are very explicit

in order to make the configuration easier. The same can be
applied to the name of the printers.
Valuated printout: The items that are printed by the situation

that has this option active will be valuated and totalised. This is
useful in case that you want to give a valuated receipt to the
client without having to do a subtotal.
The use of this option has been decreasing in front of the
option button NOTE, that does the same mission but with
some improvements.
Change the situation if the item has modifiers: In installations

where the speed is indispensable (Fast Food) it uses this
option to separate the items in different situations depending
on if they have modifiers or not. This way you get that a cooker
have to prepare only “simple” items, which are quickly

prepared and other person can do the special items that have
modifiers or changes that delay its elaboration.
NOTE: A printer can have more than a situation, the same way
that a situation can be printed in several printers
Screens
As well as for the printers we have created SITUATIONS, to
work with kitchen screens we should create them from the
screens maintenance.
The configuration of the kitchen printers can be found in the
Appendix 5.
This option has not any configuration option, and we will not
limit to create all the different screens that we have:
COFFEES, DRINKS, SANWICHES, etc…

Auto Printout
In this option is where you really configure the automatic
printout once you have created the printers and its respective
situations.
Lets see the different parts of the screen.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
1. Exit: It goes to the previous screen. If you have made

changes you will be requested to save them.
2. New: It creates a new printout configuration of automatic

printout.
3. Delete: It deletes a printout configuration.

4. Previous: It goes to the previous printout configuration.
5. Next: It goes to the next configuration.

6. Screens: It changes between the printer configurations and

the kitchen screens.
7. Printers: It shows the available printers for this terminal.
8. Rank: It lets to establish a rank of tables where a

determined situation assigned to a printer will be printed.
9. Configuration: It indicates the configuration number of

printout in which we are at the moment.
Situations by Printer
To assign the different situation to the printers, first you should

select this printer, then the desired situation from the available
situations and press the button add. We will do this
successively until we have completed the installation.

It is possible that we do not want that a situation is printed in

some of the tables. To include or exclude tables of a
determined situation, we will select it and press the button
Rank. When the rooms are showed, we will select the tables
that we want to be printed.
Situations by Item
Once the situations by printer has been assigned, you should

indicate which sectors or item you want to be printed in each
situation.
Because of this we will enter in Situations by item and will

assign the available Situations to add them to the assigned
Situations. We can assign more than one situation at the same
time selecting the boxes that appear in front of the available
situations. This will speed up the selection process.

It can be possible that in a determined section there are items

that go to a situation and others that go to another. In these
cases you will not assign situations by section, or you can
press the items button and you will assign one to one.
The situation by item always prevails over the situation by

section.
Situation by Combinations
Anyway, we can assign situations to the combinations that we

have created in its corresponding section.

Options
With the purpose to perfect even more the configuration of the
automatic printout to kitchen there is a group of options that we
are going to see:
1. Print separation between orders: This option prints as

many receipts to kitchen as different lines are in the order.
2. Print in all the situations: Each time more, and with the
purpose to give a better service, it is being extended the
character of courses organizer. This person in the one in
charge to prepare the courses that are going to be served
in the tables and should wait until all the courses in the
same order are ready before starting to serve them. To
make easy this task, there is also the option To Print in all
the situations that prints all the items in all the situations,
printing in capitals the items that correspond to this situation
and in small the ones that do not. That way, the user can
have an idea of the total order.
3. Do not group items: By default the same items (that do
not have modifiers) are grouped in the order receipts in
order to save paper. If you select this option the items will
be individually printed.
4. Show additional description in the kitchen screen: If the

names of the items are very long, we can make that instead
to show the description, to show the additional description
in the kitchen screen.
Utilities
Because we can have different automatic printout to kitchen

configurations for the screens, it will be a hard work to
configure the items in each one of them. With this utility, this
process is done in an automatic way.

Screens
To assign printout situations to the screens, we will follow the

same method that with the printers, adding available situations
after having selected the screen.
It is important the internal code that each screen have in order

to be able to configure these devices.
See Appendix 5.

In case you want stock control you should mark the property
To update stock when you make a sale (see Configuration
– Wizard – Items) and in the configuration of the terminal, you
should define different warehouses for the terminal and for the
replacement (see Configuration – System – Terminal).
If you have ICGManager and the stock control will be done

from the ICGManager, you should not select the property
commented in the previous paragraph and the terminal and
replacement warehouses should be the same.
The idea is consider the bars as warehouses of the terminals

and count the number of units of each item that we want to
have. The maximum stock will be the same as the minimum.
This stock should be defined in the file of each item in the
option Stock in the warehouse defined for the terminal.
Working

APPENDIX

1. Determination of the documents series
Introduction
From the first versions, the hospitality Fronts C/S have saved
the sales in the database with the exception of the sales with
amount equal to 0, with the series of the receipt (‘T’) and if it
was an invoice, it will assigned to the field NUMFAC the
number of the Invoice. That way we can differentiate between
the sales in receipt size from the sales in the invoice size. The
sales with amount equal to 0 ("no sales” or
“complementaries”), are saved with the series ‘I’.
From the version 3.0.0.8 the system to save the sales in the
database has changed. From this version the documents of the
type invoice will be saved with the series ‘F’ and the
documents of the type receipt with the series ‘T’.
In the other hand, there is a new document, the delivery note,

that it is saved with its own series which is, series ‘A’.
The sales with amount equal to 0, and that have not had a
subtotal done, will be saved with the series ‘I’.
The hospitality Front C/S, have two methods to determine the

series that the sales in the data base will be saved with:
Method by associated client and method by printout design.
Method by associated client
This is the method by default that proposes Front C/S. The

method consists in that the client, who is associated to the
sale, is the one that determines if the sale has to be a receipt
or an invoice.

In order that the sale is of the type invoice, it should have a

client associated that do not have marked the property To
associate generic clients (see Configuration – Clients), and
the accounting code of this client should be different than the
accounting code of generic clients (Defined code in the
company maintenance and valid for each terminal), that is to
say, it has to be a codified client.
If the sale has not an associated client or if the client is not a

codified one, it will be saved with the series of the type receipt
(‘T’).
Method by printout design
In this method is the printout design the one that determines

the series that the document will have when it is saved in the
data base. That is to say, if we finish the sale with a printout
design of the type receipt the sale will be saved with the series
‘T’ and if on the contrary we finished it with a printout design of
the type invoice the sale will be saved with the series ‘F’.
It is also possible that the sale ends without printing. In this

case, Front C/S understands that a document of the type
receipt will be generated. Using this method, although a sale is
totalised with an associated codified client, Front C/S will not
generate a document with the series ‘F’.
Independently from the last use of a method or another, the

appearance of the new series of invoices implies that Front
C/S makes some automatic actions. These actions can be the
followings:
- Totalise a subtotal in an automatic way.
- Creation of an automatic credit document.
- Automatic printout of the credit done. (See Configuration –
Wizard – Documents / Languages).

- Creation of a new document of the type invoice.
These automatic actions are necessary during the normal

working of the application. A clear example, using the method
by default, will be making the following actions:
- Make a subtotal of an order without an associated client.

- To associate a client codified to this order.
- Totalise again the order.
In front this situation Front C/S will first generate a document

with the series ‘T’ for the subtotal, once the codified client is
assigned and the order has been totalised again, the program
should generate an invoice, because a sale with an associated
client that has an accounting code different than the generic
one, is being saved.
DETAIL OF THE CASES IN WHICH THE FRONT MAKES AN

AUTOMATIC CHANGE OF SERIES:
Printout of a document:
From the function button Sales Journal, Front C/S lets you
print again a document that has been previously generated.
See Function Buttons – Sales Journal.
If you are working with the assignation by associated client

of series method, although a document of the type receipt is
printed again in an invoice size, Front C/S will only print the
selected sale with this printout design, without making any
change in the database.
But if you are working with the method of series assignation
by printout design , Front C/S can make some of the
automatic actions that have been previously commented.

To be exact, if the sale is of the type receipt and if it is printed

again with a printout design of the type invoice, Front C/S will
make an automatic credit of the original sale to print again with
the ‘T’ and will create a new document with the series ‘F’ and it
will print this invoice with the selected design. If you have also
configured the option print automatic credits, it will print a
credit note with the design by default of the type receipt.
NOTE: This change of series will only be done if the sale that
you want to print again has not a Z cash count number
associated, if not, Front C/S will only print the sale with the
selected printout design without making any change in the
series.
To sum up, so that Front C/S makes the automatic credits and
automatic generation of a new document, the following
conditions should be fulfilled:
Work with the method of series assignation by printout

design.
- To print again a sale of the type receipt. (Series ‘T’)
- The sale to print again should not have a Z cash count

number assigned.

Totalise a sale that has a subtotal done in receipt size, with

invoice size:
Depending on the assignation that you have configured, Front

C/S will act in front this situation in a different way:
Method series assignation by associated client::
Front C/S will do automatic actions only in this case:
- Totalise an order without associated client or with a client

with accounting code equal to the generic clients. This sale has
a subtotal (with the series ‘T’) and before totalise, a codified
client has been associated to it. In front this situation Front C/S
needs to generate the document with the series ‘F’, so it will
totalise the current subtotal with the payment type by default, it
will make a credit of this sale and finally it will generate the sale
with the associated payment and totalise it with the series ‘F’. If
you have configured the option print automatic credits, it will
print a credit note with the design by default of the type receipt.
Method series assignation by printout design:
Front C/S, although the sale is totalised with a codified

associated client, it will not generate a document of the type
invoice, but it is the printout design the one that determines the
type of document to generate. With this assignation series
Front C/S will make the automatic actions in the following
case:
- When you totalise a sale with a subtotal, with receipt size,

with a printout design of the type invoice. In front this situation
Front C/S needs to generate a document with the series ‘F’, so
it will totalise the current subtotal with the payment type by
default, it will make a credit of this sale and finally it will

generate the sale with the associated payment type when it

totalises with the series ‘F’. If you have active the property
Print automatic credits (see Configuration – Wizard –
Documents / Languages), it will print a credit document with
the design by default of the type receipt.
Using this method, and if instead to totalise the sale, you make
a second subtotal Front C/S should also make the previous
process, but to avoid making all these automatic credits and
waste of time during the sale operative, only the series
changes when you totalise the sale will be done.
To totalise an order with subtotal in receipt size with final

amount equal to 0:
Until now, when you totalize an order with amount equal to 0

that you have previously made a subtotal, the numbering
associated to the order (Receipt) will be deleted from the data
base and will be added to the table TIQUETSTEMP to be
assigned later and that way guarantee that there is not a jump
in the sales numbering.
To simplify this process (because from this version Front C/S

works with more series of documents), Front C/S will finish the
sale with amount 0 with the series and the numbering that
have assigned. This process will not affect to the
complementaries statistics, because if you have invited, this
record will be stored in the field TYPO of the table
TIQUETSLIN.

CREATION OF DOCUMENTS OF THE TYPE DELIVERY

NOTE:
As we have seen in the introduction, Front C/S, from the

version 3.0.0.8, lets you generate a document of the type
delivery note. To totalise an order with this type of document,
you should add to the user options a new function button, the
button with the description Delivery Note. Once it has been
added, you should totalise a sale the same way you do it with
the Total button, but now pressing the button Delivery Note,
Front C/S will show the total screen to enter the sale payment
types and will generate a document with the series ‘A’.
The sales generated with this type of document can be

displayed, the same way that the others, from the sales
consult. A new button has been added in order to filter by this
type of documents in this screen.
These documents, if you have ICGManager linked with the

point of sale and you export the sales to it, you will be able to
invoice in a grouped way, by client and by dates interval, giving
that way a great power, if it is possible, to the solution Front
C/S ÅÆ ICGManager.
NOTE: As we can see, it has not been informed in any moment

of the cases of changes of series in the intervention of the
documents of the type delivery note. This is like that because
the documents do not affect to the changes of series. A
delivery note of an order cannot be done if a subtotal has been
done. If there is a need to do this process, the user should
finish the order, make a manual credit of the created receipt
and make a new order finishing it as a delivery note.

DETAIL OF THE LOGIC OF THE FRONT C/S TO ASSIGN A

SERIES TO A DOCUMENT:
Assignation of a series when making a subtotal:
By default, when you make a subtotal, Front C/S generates a

document of the type receipt (series ‘T’).
So that when you make a subtotal the program generates a

document of the type invoice it should be active in the
configuration Wizard the option to generate a document
depending on the printout design and one of the following
options: request document design when making a subtotal
or print subtotal with invoice size.
That way we will indicate to the program that we want to work

with the method of series assignation by printout design
and that way generate a document with the series ‘F’ and
select a design with size invoice.
NOTE: Once generated a subtotal with the series invoice , this

series cannot be changed.
Assignation of a series when making a total:
The series to assign to a document will depend basically of the

method of series assignation that you have configured:
method series assignation by associated client (method by
default).
Method of series assignation by associated client:

(Method by default)
1- Order without subtotal:

a- Order without an associated client or with client with

accounting code equal to the generic ones: SERIESÆ T.
b- Order with an associated codified client: SERIES Æ F.
2- Order with subtotal

a- Order without an associated client or with a client with
accounting code equal to the generic one: SERIES Æ T.
b- Order with an associated codified client: SERIES Æ F.

(In this operation a credit of the previous subtotal will be
done)
Method of series assignation by printout design:
3- Order without subtotal
Type of printout design:

a- Do not print: SERIES Æ T.
b- Receipt design: SERIES Æ T.
c- Invoice design: SERIES Æ F.
4- Order with subtotal
a- Series of the subtotal T:
Type of printout design:

1- Do not print: SERIES Æ T.
2- Receipt Design: SERIES Æ T.
3- Invoice Design: SERIES Æ F.
(In this operation the credit of the subtotal done will be
made )
b- Series of the subtotal F: SERIE Æ F.

2. System of automatic disconnection
Front C/S lets you to configure the control to insure a working

system without stop in front a possible failure in the connection
to the data base of the server or any other problem with the
system.
The automatic disconnection system consists in the possibility

to configure a “local” database to which you can accede from
the program, in case of a loose of a waste of the connection
with the server.
Front C/S provides tools to have this data base updated with
the information needed for the sale (Sections, Items,...). So
how to add the sales done in a “local” mode to the database of
the server, once the normal connection to the database has
been recuperated.
To active this protection, you should mark the property

Activate the disconnection of the data base system. See
Configuration – Wizard – Configuration of the System.
Working
If you have active the protection disconnection system, when

we enter into the program it will request the mode how we want
to enter into the application: Normal Mode or Local Mode.
If you choose the normal mode the program will try to accede
to the data base configured for your normal working but, if you
choose the local way the program will try to connect with the
data base configured for the working in local mode.

Normal Mode:
When you enter in normal mode if you have selected the

property Save information for the work with local
connection, the program will make a copy, in binary files, of
the basic configuration of the items in order to continue with
the normal sale in a local way, in the folder DataICG inside the
interchange directory (See configuration: “Directory of files
interchange“)
The files that will be generated are the following:
Secciones, Artículos, Kits, Comentarios, ModificadoresCab,

ModificadoresLin, ModificadoresArticulos, Formatos,
FormatosArticulos, PreciosVenta, MacrosCab, MacrosLin,
PreciosVentaMacros, TipoFavoritos, Favoritos, Clientes,
Referencias y Vendedores.
Next, if you have configured (See configuration: ”Add the

sales generated during the work with local connection to
the data base of the server”), the program will try to import
the possible sales done by the work in local mode. This
information is in binary files in the folder BatchICG inside the
interchange directory (See configuration: “Directory of files
interchange“). The files have the following identification:
Dccczzzz.ICG: Where D is the type of information (C =

TiquetsCab, L = TiquetsLin, M = TiquetsModif, S =
TiquetsConsumo y P = TiquetsPag), ccc the number of POS (3
digits) and zzzz the number of the Z (4 digits).

Local Mode:
When you enter in local mode, the program will try to import
the information of the data base configuration with the files
located in the folder DataICG in the interchange directory (See
configuration: “Directory of files interchange“). This will be a
quick process that lasts a few seconds.
Once you have entered in a local mode and that you have
done sales with this mode, it is necessary that these arrive to
the same place where the rest of the sales are stored for the
consult Front C/S allows two methods, not exclusive between
them, for the update of the sales.
The first method consists in generate binary files, that contain

the information related to the generated sales that have to be
added to the database of the server if you have configured that
way. This method is indispensable and indicated for
installations without ICGManager, because the sales should
be in the common data base to be able to make statistics, …
This exportation of the information will be done after making a
Z cash count. (See configuration: “Add the sales generated
during the work with local connection to the data base of
the server”)
The second method consists to use the system the normal

communications of Front C/S (CMS files). If you use this
method you should configure in the local database the normal
communications system, and the parameter of the
communications file copy. If you configure this parameter,
when you enter in normal mode the possible files will be copied
generated CMS during the work in local mode to the
exportation directory configured in the working database in
normal mode.

Configuration
To configure the disconnection control, in the configuration

wizard, in the system configuration, you should active the
property Activate system of disconnection from the data
base protection. If the property is active it appears the button
Disconnection that lets you configure the protection system.
In the screen of configuration of the protection system, it is

possible to configure the following parameters:
Address of the local data base:

Parameter that contains the address of the “local” database
that the program has to accede to in case that you enter with
the mode of local connection.
Directory of files interchange:

Directory where the interchange files necessaries for the
update of the local configuration and of the sales done in local
mode. This directory should be accessible in local mode as
well as in normal mode.
Password local connection:

(Optional) The entry to the program in local connection mode
can be protected by configuring in this parameter a security
password.
Save information for the work with local connection:

This parameter lets you configure if the terminal should
generate the files of the configuration for the work in local
mode when enter into the program. This option is useful for
installations with more than one POS connected to the same
server, in this case it will be enough to configure this option in
only one client terminal and not force the other terminals to
make redundant tasks.

Add sales generated during the work with local connection

to the data base of the server
This parameter lets you configure if the terminal should
generate the files with the sales done in local mode after
making a Z cash count. This parameter is only used in local
connection mode.
Copy file of communications generated during the work with

local connection
This parameter lets you copy the possible CMS communication
file generated during the work in local mode to the exportation
directory configured in the normal mode. This way when we
make the normal communications, the sales done in local
mode will be sent to ICGManager. When you active this
parameter it appears a frame to configure the directory where
the CMS files are generated in local mode.

3. Consumptions
Description
The hospitality Front C/S are equipped with a ticket with right
to a drink, so that they cannot be used more than once (For
example, for discos).
This system lets you make a control over the invitation /

consumption from the moment of the sale / delivery, until the
moment of the consumption.
The hospitality Front C/S lets you generate and print the
consumptions automatically in the moment you make the sale
of the ticket. When you sell an item that should generate a
ticket-consumption, Front C/S generates and print a voucher
with a bar code that identifies the generated consumption. This
voucher, once its sale has been done (consumption) will be
useless for the next consumptions.
Front C/S lets you configure by item the property “Additional

consumption” that reports to the system when you sell an
item with this property active, you should generate as many
vouchers as you have sell of the item. It also incorporates a
new function button: Consumption that lets you “sell” a
voucher – consumption.
Define that an item should generate a voucher -

consumption
This property can be defined from the items maintenance, in

the option “Prices / Sizes”. In this option appears an edition
frame (“additional consumption”) that lets you enter a whole
number from 0 to 4. If you configure the 0 value (value by
default) it indicates that when you sell the items it should be
done in a normal mode, but if you configure a value between 1

and 4, it indicates to the program that to sell the item, it should
generate a consumption-voucher. This (1-4) corresponds to
one of the 4 rates available in Front C/S.
Selection (“Sale”) of a consumption-voucher
Front C/S lets you configure, by user, a new function button

named Consumption (see Function Buttons –
Consumption). When you press over this button, the button
will request the consumption number. If the consumption has
not been used previously, it will be deleted from the database
and will apply the sale rate that corresponds to the first digit of
the bar code. This rate coincides with the parameter of the
property “Additional consumption” configured to the item that
has generated the consumption-voucher. If the selected
number does not exist in the database (consumed voucher)
the program will show the message “NOT VALID

CONSUMPTION” and will continue with the normal sale

operative. If the date of the system is different from the
consumption date, the program will show the message
“EXPIRATED CONSUMPTION” will continue with the normal
sale operative.
Design of the consumption-voucher
From the configuration wizard, in the page Documents /

Languages exist a new button “Consumptions”. When you
press over this button it will appear a screen where you can
define the texts that should be printed before the bar code and
/or after.

It also allows the entry of the escape sequences and for the
generation of the bar code.
Each printer model (if you let generate bar codes) has its own
sequences.
The first parameters are optional, while the sequences are

obligatory, because without them the barcodes will not be
generated.
The first line of the previous text to the bar code will print with
the bold font.

Notes and considerations
Why it is applied a rate in the price of the next item?
If you follow this method, the SUMPLEMENTS can be

contemplated.
All the items that are included in the CONSUMPTION they will
be defined with cero price in the rate corresponding to the field
“Additional consumption” defined in the item “TICKET”. To all
the items that have a supplement, it will be defined this
supplement in the rate. This will let you define several types of
tickets: TICKET WITH CONSUMPTION (rate 3), TICKET
WITH MINIMUM CONSUMPTION (rate 4), ...

CODE39 and 42 is the initial character ‘*’.
Final sequence: 42,0,10
NOTE: The initial sequence should be the last of the initial

sequences configured and the final one the first of the final
sequences.

4. Invoice of the items with sale by time
The invoicing by time is a process in which the amount of the

sale of the item is measured by the time interval that lapsed
since you select the item until the moment you totalise it. The
final amount will be the result to multiply the units of time that
have passed by the price fixed by unit of time.
To be able to sell an item for this method it will be necessary to

activate the property of the item of “Invoice by time” and
define the fraction of time that you invoice from the items
maintenance. Once these parameters have been defined,
when you select the item during the sale, Front C/S will save
the initial hour and when you totalise the sale, it will calculate
the fractions of time passed from the initial hour until this
moment. The units fixed during the sale will multiply this value
and it will be assigned to the units to invoice, calculating finally
the total amount of the line of sale.
Front C/S incorporates also a new command; available in the

sale screen that will let you totalise manually the items of the
current sale. This way it will not be necessary to finish the sale
to totalise only a line of the order.
Define an item that is invoiced by fractions of time
From the items maintenance, in the option of “Invoicing by

time”, you can define if an item is invoiced by time or not. In
this option it should be activated the property “Invoice by
time”. If you activate this property it will appear a panel where
you will be able to define the fraction of time that it will be used
to invoice. (The amount of the sale of the item will be equal to
the number of fractions consumed by the price of the item).
From this option you can define also a correction margin. This
parameter lets you determine which percentage of the fraction
defined is necessary that passed so that the price of a fraction

will be collected. For example: If you invoice each 5 minutes
and the passed time has been 7 minutes and 30 seconds, if
the configured margin is of the 60% the program will invoice an
only fraction, while if the margin is of the 40% the program will
invoice two fractions. This parameter is common for all the
items.
In front of the case that the passed time does not arrive to a
fraction the program will invoice anyway a whole fraction
independently to the defined margin.

“Close” of an item of invoicing by time
Front C/S will let the user to totalise (Calculate the amount) a
line of the order with an item that it is sold by fractions of time
with two different modes: Automatically and manually.
Automatic method
If the user makes a total, subtotal or quick total, if there are
open lines in the order with “open” items, it will notify to the
user about the situation. In order to make the operation you
should “close” the lines. It will also give the possibility to the
user to select an option that totalises the lines automatically. In
this case the program will calculate the amount of the lines of
the order that are not automatically “closed” and will “close”
them, so that to generate the receipt you already have the
amount to collect.
Manual method
Front C/S has the Function Button – End of sale by time,
available in the sale screen, that shows all the lines of the
order that are invoiced by intervals of time and that are not yet
“closed”. Allowing the user to totalise (“Close”) the lines that
you want. This option is very useful to “close” lines without
having to totalise the order, having the possibility to add more
items of this type.
Select the item to finished and press the button Status

Change.
See image in this page:

Notes and considerations
• In the sale screen, if the item is invoiced by time, the

program will accumulate the units to select then the same
item. The program allows fixing units and then selecting the
item.
• An item that is invoiced by time cannot be sold with size, or

be a part of the second part of a combination.
• When you “close” an item manually, when you visualize the

order in the sale screen, you will be able to distinguish the
items that are still “open” because it will be showed in dark
blue colour.
• When you select an item that is invoiced by time the program

will show you by default a fraction of time, when you totalise
the line the units (fractions) to invoice will be calculated

5. Configuration of kitchen screens
Hospitality Front C/S can work with kitchen screens to

substitute or complement the traditional method of the printout
to kitchen by printers.
At first this working system was designed for fast foods

because it is very fast and effective. Nowadays, with some
modifications it is also used in restaurants as a substitute of
the paper.
We can distinguish between two types of kitchen screen:
1. Order Screen (Orders list)

2. Cook Screen (Kitchen list)
To install any of these programs, it is necessary a terminal with

the database client installed and copies the corresponding
executable in a folder that has to be created inside the ICG
directory (each program has to be in a different terminal).
When you run it you will be requested for the path of the
database.
OrderScreen
Also known as orders screen, this is the screen that substitutes

to the paper receipts.
Now you are going to see the distribution of the options. It is

necessary to take into account that there are some options that
are only available when you work with a programmed
keyboard.

1. Order Number: When you work with keyboard, it lets you

to enter the order number that we want to operate with.
2. Number of line: It serves to indicate the number of the line

that we will give as delivered.
3. F8 – All the order: We will use it to retire a whole order.
4. Number of orders: It indicates the total number of pending

to serve orders (including the ones that are not in screen).
5. Arrows: It lets you to pass order screens to the front or to

the back
6. Indicator of screens number: It shows the number of
totals screens with orders.

7. F7 Total: It shows a screen with the summary of all the

items of the orders. It is very useful for knowing the total
quantities that needs to be prepared of each item.
8. F9 Recuperate: If by error you have retired an item or an

order with F9 you can recuperate it. It works the other way
round than F8.
9. F10 Options: It allows accessing to the configuration

options.
10. Order number: It shows the order number inside of the

screen. This is the number that you should use to retire the
items.
11. Number of line: It indicates in which line of the order is the

item. It is used with the number of order to retire items.
12. Number of units: It indicates the number of units that have

been served/ordered
13. Number of order: Number of the course order (if it is

starters, main course, etc…).
14. Colour indicator: It indicates in a graphic way if an order

occupants more than one box.
15. Information of the order: It informs you about what POS

has sent the order, which seller, and the table that it
belongs to. It also indicates the time passed since the
receipt has started. This colour will change when the
maximum waiting time (that you have configured), is
exceeded.

Order Screen – Configuration

Pressing the key F10 or the button of the top right part of the
screen, you will accede to the Options.
Property: Configuration
To enter in the Configuration we will press this button.

Property: Warehouse
Warehouse from which the units will decrease its stock if you
are working with the method of Screen control by stock in
manufacturing.
Property: Password
It protects through a password the access to the configuration.
Use of the Orders screen
The working process of the screens is very easy, because it is

very similar to the printers one.
You can distinguish in 5 steps:
1. Marked of the order in hospitality Front C/S or in

Telecomanda3.
2. Distribution of the items depending on the situation to the

different screens. This is referred as for the Orders as well
as for the Cook ones.
3. Elaboration / preparation of the items.
4. Once the items have been elaborated, you should retired

them from the Orders screen and serve them, so that they
will also be retired in an automatic way from the Cook
screen.
5. When all the items of an order are served you should

retire the whole order.
To be able to make the operation to create or retire the items

and the orders you need to know the working of the Orders
screen.

With touch screen
If you want to retire an item, you can press in the left side of
this line (red area). If you want to recuperate it (blue area), you
can press over the right side. To retire a whole order, you
should press over the header
Use with keyboard
Retire an order
Retire an item
Create an item
With programmed keyboard
If you have selected the option work with programmed

keyboard, the cursor will be always active in the box ORDER.
You should press the number of order and then the number of
line that you want to retire. Each time that you mark a line, a
unit will be retired, and in the moment that there are not units
to retire, the colour of them will change from black to grey.

Working mode
There are two ways of working with screens:
1. Real time
2. Differed
Work in real time

This is the working method by default. This method use two
types of screens, the Order and the Cook screen.
When you make the orders, they automatically appear in the
Orders and in the Kitchen screen. We should remark that in the
kitchen screen modifiers do not appear, because it has been
thought for fast food items. Optionally you can configure the
‘special’ items ( those that require more time) to be printed by a
kitchen printer.
When the items are prepared, they are retired in the Orders
screen and automatically the number of units in the Cook
Screen will decrease.
Postponed
This is the method that use those installations that have a
previous stock of items and the staff replace them depending
on the sales. To use it you should select the option ‘Screens
control by stock in manufacturing’ of the Automatic
printout configuration.
The working is easy; you have to configure the items with a
maximum and minimum stock. When the stock of an item is
under minimum, the program will automatically generate an
order of this item to the kitchen with a total of units that will be
the difference between the maximum and the current stock.
