FusionRetail™ 6 FAQ

Available from Release 1.377 onwards…

• Scenario1:
  • Z report or shift should run on station basis not user wise, i.e.
  • if one user log in a station & makes transactions and he log off, in the same time another user logs in same station & continue with transaction, when he enter closing balance & prints Z report, report should show the combined effect of both user's transactions
• Scenario2:
  • Operator ‘A’ works on station 1 from morning 8 am to 1 pm.
  • After that station 1 is closed for the day.
  • Now the same operator starts working again at 3 pm to 7 pm. But on station 2.
  • At the day end (i.e. at 7 pm) he needs to submit the combined report for his 2 shifts (i.e. from 8 am to 1 pm AND 3 pm to 7 pm).
• Scenario3:
  • The barman starts the shift on Friday.
  • The back office is closed on Saturday and Sunday.
  • The barman is not allowed to print Z report.
  • So the back office person will take out Z report on Monday.
  • The date on bill should show actual date for transactions done on Saturday and Sunday.

Solution: In order to meet the demands of the scenarios mentioned above RanceLab® FusionRetail™ 6 has made several changes to simplify the day end procedure. FusionRetail 6 now uses batch number to logically group transactions based on user activity. This document explains the Cash Drawer balancing module in detail,

• Explanation of the Batch Id concept
• The process of Cash Drawer Balancing.

Explanation of the Batch Id concept:

• The Start of Batch:
  • When a user logs in, the system checks for a batch with “open” status for her and reads it in a global variable.
  • If a batch with “open” status is not found, a new batch number is generated automatically when a user creates his first transaction.
  • A user will always have a unique batch number for a given point of time.
  • While a batch is open, its number is associated with all the transactions (Inventory/Financial).
  • This number is added when a transaction is created.
  • In Touch POS it’s added when transaction is finished.
  • The number is added to transaction only once, it is not changed in modification.

• The End of a Batch:
  • The batch closes when the user takes out a Z report.
  • The Z report can be printed by the operator at POS or it can be printed by the cashier/supervisor in the back office.
