Assigning a till to a terminal

Before an associate can use the POS terminal, a till must be inserted and a Till ID must be assigned to the terminal. Only authorized associates can assign a till to a terminal.

When a till has already been assigned to the terminal, the associate can do the following:

Insert a till at the terminal, if the associate removed the till when the terminal was closed.
Reassign a new Till ID to the terminal.

The POS displays the Till ID on the status bar.

Tills can also be assigned or reassigned from the following screens:

Closed screen when the terminal is closed. For more information, refer to Assigning a till after terminal closing.
Till Setup screen in the back office. For more information, refer to Managing tills in the cash office.
