Opening the Register

This article will provide a step-by-step guide on how to open the virtual register.

Things to know:

  • At the start of each day, the register is in an "initial/unopened" state. Once the register or registers are opened during transaction processing, you can specify which register the transaction should be recorded in.
  • Opening a register initiates the tracking of all transactions, and it pre-calculates the expected total at the end of the day.
  • Transactions will be reflected in the register only if it is open and selected during the ticket payment step.
  • Negative values are not allowed for any count when opening the register. If an attempt is made to input negative figures, a validation message will be displayed indicating "Invalid Quantity."

Open the register at the beginning of the day:

  1. Go to POS > Registers
