"Dale Harris and the Feature of DOOM" Version 7.04n
Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:14 pm
Another installment of my policy of no longer saving users from themselves.
Well several of you folks asked for it so here it is. Crab, crab, crab.
If you go to the "Password and name" feature of the POSCONFG.EXE program you will see a new setting to the right of the "VOID" password. "[YES] = Need password in sale." If you set this to [YES] then when you are in a sale and press [F5] to void the sale or a line in the sale you will have to enter the VOID password (or MASTER password) to do it. To set this to [YES] the highlight bar must be on the VOID password and then you press [F1] to toggle it.
This applies even if the function of the VOID password is set to [0]. However to use the MASTER password for this, the function of the MASTER password must be set to [1]. If you have not entered a VOID or a MASTER password then this will not happen even if you have set it to [YES].
The good news (?) is that if you use this feature your employees will not be able to void a sale (or a line in the sale) once they have begun to ring it up unless YOU type in the password.
The bad news (!) is that you better not wander away from the register. If the employee has rung up the wrong item, the wrong price, the wrong amount, the wrong tax, the wrong anything, you have be there. If the customer decides that she does not want that item, that item costs too much, her credit card is rejected, she is 0.50 short of cash, the total is more that she thought it would be, you have to be there.
Because if you are not there then either the employee has to finish ringing up the sale (with the wrong information) or the register is locked until you return to enter the password.
So for you, there will be no sitting in your office, no trips to the bank, no going out for lunch, and the idea of an uninterupted spell in the bathroom will be fond memory.
Will I be using this this feature? Are you nuts? My only purpose in creating this feature is to stop folks from sending me email asking for it. Once they actually use it they will know what pain really is.
Enjoy.
