      Product Configuration in Terminal Management TMX with Constellation

      The process for setting up products for dispensing on Constellation-connected Terminal Management TMX systems has changed. This article describes the steps on-site operators are required to complete.

      Applies to:

      • Terminal Management TMX
      • Constellation

      Note: This article applies to Constellation Products assigned to a site. For Constellation Recipes, see Recipe Configuration in Terminal Management TMX with Constellation for direction.

      When Constellation is connected to a site, product creation and updates are handled centrally, but some configuration is required on-site. This article covers using the Product setup tool to add Panel Bulk Product Pettings to Constellation-controlled products, enabling a system to dispense orders containing these products.

      Note: This article assumes a product has been assigned to the site, which can only be done by a company’s Constellation point of contact.

      Note: Constellation terminology for products and recipes has shifted from Terminal Management TMX.

      • A Constellation Product creates both a Product and Bulk product in Terminal Management TMX and does not allow an order item to be blended on demand, requiring the product in inventory.
      • A Constellation Recipe creates only a product in Terminal Management TMX and allows a site to blend an order item on demand.

      Further information can be found in the articles for Constellation Products and Constellation Recipes.
