White list

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:00:00 GMT

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:00:00 GMT

Use shift management to control your operators. Turn on Shift control option (main menu > Tools > Options) so a shift must be started in order to collect any payment (close a customer session, top-up account, sell a ticket).

When an operator starts/stops a shift, he enters his cash desk initial/final cash amount for the moment. You may compare these actual cash values to the calculated initial/final amounts.

To start/stop a shift use main menu > Setup > Start shift or Stop shift items.
