Register Close
The register close process can be performed by store managers or associates who have the proper security privileges. A register close can be completed any time during the day.
This process is highly configurable, and your process may be different than the instructions below. Every effort has been made to include notes or examples of additional steps that may be configured for your store.
The procedures described in this section assume that till accountability is not being used (this is a configurable option). For more information on till accountability and its requirements, refer to the Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service Manager's Guide.
