Configuration settings the till uses

A short list of Configuration settings decides how the till behaves: what is required before it opens, how it rounds, who may delete a line, and which buttons appear. A changed setting reaches each user at their next sign in.

Common questions

I changed a setting and the till does not show it.

Every user must sign out and in. For a bill adjustment, open POS Sales again.

The till will not let a cashier delete a line.

No Secret key is set, or the cashier typed it wrongly ("Not matched secret key"). Set the key in the Sales tab and tell the supervisors.

Where do I set a separate cash ledger for a branch?

On the branch record: Cash ledger (Which account each part of a bill goes to).

We sell on credit to a few customers. Is there a setting for it?

Not in Configuration. A named customer who is not marked Cash selling customer can be sold to on credit when the cashier types Credit. Switch Cash selling customer on for customers who must pay in full (Sell on credit to a named customer).
