Store Close
To close a store:
-
All registers must be closed.
-
Depending upon the configuration of your system, all tills must be reconciled.
-
Depending upon the configuration of your system, all retail periods must be ended. See End Retail Period for more information.
Note:
Store open and store close activities are controlled by user security. You must have the proper security privileges to open and close the store. Refer to the Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service Manager's Guide for detailed information about opening and closing the store.
During the store close process, the system automatically finds and lists any suspended transactions that were not resumed during the day. The associate performing the store close can either cancel the store close process at this point or allow Xstore Point of Service to automatically cancel all listed transactions and continue with the store close.

In addition, the system may also list any pending orders that require attention. The associate performing the store close can either cancel the store close process or allow Xstore Point of Service to continue with the store close. The pending orders retain the same status and are not changed in any way by this notification prompt.
When the store is closed, the Store Indicator may be yellow or red, depending upon your system configuration, and the Register Indicator is red. An exception may occur if the register is being closed remotely. In that case, the Register Indicator is yellow while the processes are occurring, but it becomes red when it is completely closed.

Note:
Depending upon your system configuration and store policy, you may have access to some register functions while the store is closed. For example, you may be able to clock in and out, and view your timecard and schedule information.
You cannot log in to the register until the store is opened. If you try to log in before opening the store, the system prompts you that you cannot continue until the store is opened.
