You can configure a revenue center (RVC) to automatically cancel any open checks which have not already been cancelled (voided) or tendered by configuring the Purge Order Threshold (in Minutes) field. Some customers wish to have all currently open checks cancelled prior to running their Start of Day (SOD) daily system reset. This setting is disabled by default with a zero setting. The minimum number of minutes for this field is 30. By default, point-of-sales (POS) Operations scans for all open checks every 5 minutes.
Essentially, enabling this functionality means no carried-over totals are generated on financial reports for these RVC’s upon the completion of the daily SOD autosequence. All EMC configurations for this functionality are tracked by the Audit Trail module.
To enable access privileges to configure this functionality, you must be assigned View and Edit employee privileges (using the Roles module) for accessing the RVC Parameters module.
See the Employees and Privileges chapter for more information about configuring employee roles and EMC access privileges.
To configure the Purge Order Threshold (in Minutes) setting in EMC:
Access the EMC, select the revenue center, click Setup, and then click RVC Parameters.
From the General tab, enter a time value in the Purge Order Threshold (in Minutes) field and Save.
