The Abbreviation setting defines the Sales Transaction Type's abbreviation as it appears in the alternate Data File filename if an alternate Data file is selected for use in place of the default KSTR####.DAT Data File. When an alternate Data File is selected, the #### in the filename is replaced with the Abbreviation.
For example, if RNT is defined as the abbreviation for the Rental Transaction Type and an alternate Data File is selected, that filename is KSTRRNT.DAT.
To assign a Abbreviation to a Sales Transaction Type:
- Select Sales Transactions from the Configuration Manager's Settings menu.
- Select the Transaction Type from the Transaction Type list.
