01-010-000 POS: Begin Shift (F5)

An open shift is needed to process a transaction that invoices payments or deposits. The Begin Shift function allows the user to state the combined value of cash and coin loaded into the cash drawer for a specific workstation.
 
  • A shift has an assigned Z-Number that is used in the reporting system.
  • Since once a shift is closed, the voiding of an invoice is not allowed so, in this case, a refund creates the credit to be applied to the customer account.
  • An open shift is needed to process Point of Sale, Sales Orders, Service Tickets, or Rental Contracts.
