How To: Create Interface Codes for Book4Time
This document will review creating new interface codes for the Book4Time Integration in Yellow Dog Software
Overview
If additional Class, SubClass, Departments, or Brands need to be added to items in Yellow Dog users can create the new interface codes themselves with the correct permissions.
Note: Users will need to confirm with Book4Time what the Code and Description should be prior to creating them.
Required Permissions
To complete this task users will need access to see and edit interfaces. If your user does not have this permission, you will need to reach out to your on-site Admin for assistance.
Creating Codes
From within Yellow Dog navigate to Interfaces under System Setup
From the
Stores option at the top of the screen, select the three dots on the far right,
and select the store in question. Note: Best practice is to select one
store at a time.
Once the store has been selected, users will see the various sections of interfaces that are set for their system – typically users will see one area per Point of Sale. For Book4Time, however users will utilize the section that is called ‘Generic’ Users will note that the options for Generic all have a next to them. This indicates that a code can be added. NOTE: The labels ‘Generic level A’, ‘Generic Level B’ can all be updated to Match what the field is called in Book4Time. Steps for that process are in the next section of this document. 
For this example, we will create a new Product Class/Generic Level A –
select the 
next to Generic Level A/Product Class. In the
pop out enter the Code or numerical value associated with the Product Class,
and the Description
Once complete- select OK, and the new interface setting will now be
available to assign to levels, or items. If the new interface isn’t immediately
available, please close Yellow Dog and re-open the system

- Generic Level A = Product Class**

How To: Relabel Generic Interfaces
