Stations

In order to comply with point of sale legislation you have to bundle your point of sale peripherals into Stations. In essence, a Station is an umbrella term under which you house all the hardware that makes up a point of sale. By defining Stations, even though they are nothing more than an abstract concept, we can comply to the necessary legislation.

Adding a station

Stations are (currently) manually set up in the Admin 1.0:

• go to Management → Infrastructure

• in the dropdown menu, select for which store you would like to create a Station
• after selecting a store, a button saying New Station will appear to the right, click it

• give your new Station a Name
• give you station an optional Backend ID
• Save

note

The checkbox "This station is a fiscal station and will be used for transactions" cannot be altered after you Save. If you later on decide to make this a fiscal station then please delete, and re-create.

Adding devices to your station

Stations are generally made up of a cash drawer, thermal receipt printer, payment terminal, safe and customer facing display.

When you have created a station, you can select this station in the station dropdown menu on Management → Infrastructure under the corresponding organization unit. After having selected you station, you can add devices by clicking New device in the bottom-right corner.

These configurations apply when using Live Guard only, which is very much recommended.

Ignore for counting

When adding a device with type Safe, it is also possible to determine its behavior around counting using the dropdown menu named Should be counted. This dropdown returns three options:

• Closing only (count on opening, close automatically)
• Open & Closing (count on opening and closing)
• Ignore (open and close automatically)
