To access refer to How To Access The Service Monitor for more information. Used to configure the settings required for the FoodBuy interface. Once configured the interface will regularly (at the Interval set) poll Foodbuy's portal to check for updates to Foodbuy Supplier and Catalogue Item data and then import/sync these into swiftpos.

 

Notes ...

 

The first time the Service Monitor is started after configuring for Foodbuy Integration, it will retrieve the Foodbuy Catalogue and populate the swiftpos SupplierProductCatalogueTable with the Foodbuy Catalogue Items.

Be aware that the first time Catalogue Items are retrieved and processed (initial load), it may exceed 20 minutes.
