Store Open

The store is opened to allow business transactions in the system. The store must be opened using the Back Office Store Open process. Once the store is open, you cannot ring sales until the register is opened and a till is counted for the register.

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 open process, the system may also list any pending orders that require attention. Once the store is open, the associate can take any action as needed on the orders. See Order Transactions Through Order Broker Cloud Service for more information about processing orders.

When the store is open, the Store indicator on the status bar is green indicating that the store is open.
