Adding a blackboard meal period

Similar to a generic meal period, a blackboard meal period is used to specify which menu items are served on a certain time in an educational institution.

If integrated to a campus card payment solution, the blackboard meal period is a feature available in the Infor POS product suite. If a blackboard meal period is enabled in Infor POS Enterprise Manager, board mode is enabled in Infor POS. For details, see the Infor POS User Guide.
