Sessions

A session is the period of cash register operation between opening and closing. Sales and returns in POS are processed within an open session.

Where to find it​

“Retail” → “Operations” → “Sessions”.

How to open a session​

A session is opened from the POS screen, not from the session list:

  1. Open “Retail” → “Operations” → “POS”.
  2. On the Session tab, select the cash register.
  3. Press “Open session”.

The system records the opening date and time and assigns the session number.

Restrictions​

  • You cannot open a session if there is already an open session for the cash register — the system shows “There is already an open session”.

How to close a session​

On the POS screen, press “Close session” on the Session tab and confirm.

The system records the closing date and time.

Closing first discards the current unfinished receipt — finish or deliberately abandon it before closing.

What a session shows​

A session aggregates the operations performed at the cash register while it was open:

  • “Sales” — the number of sales;
  • “Sold” — the total amount of sales;
  • “Returns” — the number of returns;
  • “Returned” — the total amount of returns;
  • “Total” — sales minus returns;
  • the net amount for each payment method (sales payments minus return payouts);
  • the “Cash receipts” and “Refunds” lists;
  • cash deposits and withdrawals are also registered against the open session; their lists and the “Cash at the checkout” balance (kept per cash register, not per session) are shown on the Session tab of the POS screen.

The standalone “Retail” → “Operations” → “Sessions” list is used to browse and review sessions — the sales and returns count and amount columns are shown there. It also allows manual New, Edit, and Delete; note that creating a session here does not run the POS “Open session” checks (duplicate open session, fiscal opening), so opening from POS remains the normal workflow.
