Daily 24/7 Flows
For systems using 24/7 trading, the register open process must be performed on each register every day. Depending upon the configuration of your system and the time that the register is opened, the system may prompt you to open the register for the previous day or the next day.
You have different options to configure the system about the desired process in the 24–hour environment. During the 24–hour flow, the system may ask the cashier to re-open the register during the close register process automatically. Alternatively, the register is not opened automatically, which would require the cashier to log in to open the register.
Depending on your system's configuration, the float can be configured so:
-
the cashier is prompted to enter the float amount
-
the cashier starts with the pre-defined float
-
the remaining cash balance on the register being carried over as the new float amount
-
the remaining cash currencies being adjusted to the approximate default, known as the Float Balance
Once the float has been defined, the register is open, and the new retail session has begun.
After an open register is approaching the end of a retail period, Warning Messages are displayed to encourage the closing of the register and to move to the next retail period. You can continue to perform transactions on the register until the end of a configurable grace period. At the end of the grace period, you must close the register. This ensures that all the registers are moved forward to the next retail period.
The rolling close process is separated from the register reconciliation process in a register accountability configuration. This means that register reconciliation is not required before closing a register or retail period.
If the register is configured to open automatically after the Register/Till Close process without user interaction, you may be prompted to enter a new amount, or a new till is inserted into the drawer with a pre-determined float amount.
