Closing the Registers Question

Post by Sulk » Sat Jul 01, 2006 7:55 am

Closing the registers
The only noticeable change in closing an individual register is that you will not be able to reset the merchandise data from the register. The closing receipt will only report sales from that one register. All of the figures on the closing report (except "tips") are also from only that register. You MUST close every register before you close the "Global" register.After all of the registers have been closed you must run the POS.EXE program from the GLOBAL folder. Closing out this global register will print on the closing report the sales from the whole store, all of the figures on the global closing receipt are a total of all of the registers added together. Only when you close the global register will you be offered the option to reset the merchandise data. The global register cannot ring sales, returns, no sales, or voids.

I just need some clarification on this one. To what I understand, I'm supposed to (or I can) do the following in chronological order.

Morning:
-Turn on computer with the global pos.exe
-Open global pos.exe
-Turn on registers with the local pos.exe
-Open local pos.exe
- I can close global pos.exe but I can open it for posconfig, receive, etc. Computer isn't turned off.

Closing time:
-Close local pos.exe from registers
-Turn off registers
-Open global pos.exe (if not already open)
-Close global pos.exe (print closing reports)
-Turn off computer with global pos.exe

Correction please.

Reading the manual

Wow, someone is actually reading the POS user's guide. How weird is that?


That actually makes all the time and effort that I spent in writing it all worthwhile.

Now if I could just get more people to read it. :)
