How To: Create session through POS Tasks menu

In a POS terminal, every financial transaction is logged through a user or cashier session, to keep the POS transactions secure. The session keeps track of all transactions done within the scope of it. Where multi-shift POS operations are present, typically each cashier works in his own session and hands over the terminal to the next cashier by closing his session and transferring all cash balance to the next person. Even if there is no multi-shift POS operation, it is highly recommended that each cashier works in his own session by creating a session when he logs in and closing the same while he is leaving the terminal or till.

GINESYS POS does not allow any financially sensitive operation in the POS unless a session is created.
