Configuring Open Checks on Revenue Centers to Automatically Cancel

Some revenue centers want to have all open checks cancelled prior to running their Start of Day (SOD) daily system reset. You can configure a revenue center to automatically cancel open checks that have not already been canceled (voided) or tendered by configuring the Purge Order Threshold (in Minutes) field. This setting is disabled by default with a zero setting. The minimum number of minutes for this field is 30. By default, POS Operations scans for all open checks every 5 minutes.

Enabling this functionality means that no carried-over totals are generated on financial reports for these revenue centers upon completion of the daily SOD autosequence.

All automatically canceled checks are posted on the Employee Closed Check Report from the workstation or the Closed Checks report from Reporting and Analytics.

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 Purge Order Threshold (in Minutes) in EMC:

1. Select the revenue center, click Setup, and then click RVC Parameters.
2. On the General tab, enter a time value in the Purge Order Threshold (in Minutes) field.
3. Click Save.
