Manage Open Cashier Shifts During Date Roll

The Night Audit screen is enhanced to include the following updates relating to shift tracking for cashiers:

  • A new section, Open Cashier Shifts, is added to the Date Roll screen (Night Audit Date Roll) to notify the night auditor of the open cashier shifts during date roll. This section displays information about the cashiers who are yet to end their shifts and the timestamp of when they started their shift. The following details will be displayed in this section:

Field

Description

Cashier Name

The username of the cashier who has an open shift.

Start Shift Time

The start date and time of the shift based on the date and time format configured in the Property Setup section (Property Setup Language & Locale).

At the time of date roll, the following alert is displayed to the night auditor if there are cashiers with open shifts: Please note that there are open cashier shifts. To proceed with date roll, click YES upon date roll.

  • A new section, Open Cashier Shifts, is added to the Auto Date Roll screen (Night Audit Auto Date Roll). This section allows users to configure the default setting for open cashier shifts when performing an automatic date roll. The following two options are available:

Field

Description

End cashier shifts on date roll

When selected, Stay will end any cashier shifts that are open and then the date roll is performed.

Stop auto date roll on open cashier shifts

When selected, Stay will stop date roll when there are open cashier shifts.

  • Error logs for open cashier shifts when automatic date roll takes place are displayed in a new section, Open Cashier Shifts, in the Auto Date Roll Error Log section (Night Audit Auto Date Roll Error Log). The logs display the username of the cashier and the start time of the shift for the cashiers who have an open cashier shift.

  • A new tab, Date Roll Event Log, is added to the Night Audit menu. This tab will be displayed only when feature setting is enabled and the Shift Tracking flag is enabled in the Cashier Setup. The tab displays a section, Auto Closed Cashier Shifts on Date Roll. When the night auditor chooses to proceed with the date roll despite open cashier shifts, or when an auto date roll occurs with the End cashier shifts on date roll option selected, then the end time of the shift is captured and displayed as the timestamp for the date roll in this section. This section will display the cashier’s username and the start shift timestamp and end shift timestamp. This will be available only until the next date roll occurs.
