Configuration of Employee Groups
This setting allows a three-digit entry, where 0 allows employees to view all employee records, and any other value restricts the employee to viewing only employees who are also in the same group.
EMC and PMC Behavior
In the Employee Maintenance module, if the Employee Group of the logged-in user is not 0, employee records appear with the Employee Group field as disabled. This prevents the logged-in user from changing a record to a group that the logged-in user cannot access. In the EMC and PMC, an employee can view only employees in the same group, or the employee can view all other employees if the value is 0. To summarize:
-
Employee's Group is 0. The employee can see all other employees.
-
Employee's Group is 17. The employee can see only other employees in Group 17.
POS Operations Behavior
During workstation operations, the Employee Group field controls which employees may perform authorizations (such as voids) for other employees. Consider the following table. The manager can perform authorizations only when his employee group is 0 or if it is the same as the employee who needs the authorization:
Table 3-2 Employee Group Numbers
Server’s Employee Group | Manager’s Employee Group | Ability to Authorize? |
---|---|---|
0 |
0 |
Yes |
0 |
91 |
No |
17 |
91 |
No |
91 |
0 |
Yes |
91 |
91 |
Yes |
91 |
17 |
No |
When an employee from Group 17 attempts to perform an authorization
for an employee in Group 91, an Authorizing employee is
not in the correct employee group
error appears on the
workstation.
