Split sales in selected sales reports into parts of the day, such as breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Times can vary by site
For example, breakfast might end at 10:30am at some sites and 11am at others.

Start and end day parts on the hour, so the Business Intelligence Cube can use them.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
QWhy can't I save a day part's times?
Day part times can't overlap other day parts of the same use at the same site or location. Check the times don't clash with one you've already set.
QIf I change a day part's times, do past sales change?
No. Sales get their day part when they happen, so changing the times only affects new sales.
