Close Register

I am wondering is there a way to set RMS up, so that only certain employees
have to close the register before they start to ring the next transaction? I
have some employees who can handle it being open, and other's I notice seem
to make mistakes, trying to go too fast.

Are you talking about forcing a login after each transaction, or forcing the
Cash Drawer to be closed before transaction completes?

Forcing Login is a storewide setting, although it would be possible to
create an add-in that would let you do this based on current cashier.

"Wait for Drawer close" is set up in Register Properties and is global for
the drawer. If you added a second drawer, you could set one up to wait for
close, and the other not to wait. Then assign cashiers to drawer 1 or
drawer 2 based on their trust level.

Generally, you want to enforce the same rules for everyone - makes it easier
to train if everyone is working with the same rules.

Hey Glenn,
I agree that it would make it easier to train etc., if everyone was on the
same page. I was talking about the cash drawer and not login. I was hoping
to do it via person, and not register. I have two drawers, and one employee
uses both, I just think that he sometimes gets ahead of himself, and messes
up. Where as I don't have that problem, but it's not that big a deal.
