Previously the session was applicable only for the POS transactions. But sometimes it might be required to manage session from POS Back Office. Now, it is mandatory to start a new Store Session at the beginning of the day. No transaction is possible without stating the session. This article describes how to manage Store Sessions using Session Manager in Ginesys POS.

Pre-requisites

1. The users' role must have access to the Session Manager feature by enabling the Enter Opening Amount and Enter Closing Amount app operation for the feature in Admin - Role - User Role - User's role (Cashier etc) - Access Rights - Back Office - POS Control.

Step-by-step guide

The steps are as follows:

1. Click on POS Control>Session Manager.
   
   
2. Session Manager window will open.

12. A MOP Count Details window will open. Enter the Denomination value and Quantity. The total amount will be auto calculated.
    
    
13. Click on OK. 
     
14. Click on Close Session button.
     
15. A dialog box appears asking you -  This operation will close the current session. Are you sure?  - You can either click on Yes to confirm your selection or click on No if you wish to continue the session.
