Summary
This article explains why on some systems Platinum asks the user to login when attempting to raise a transaction.
More Information
There are cases, usually on PCs that are used by a lot of people (i.e. Till PC's) that it is useful to have the system ask for the persons initials\password when they raise a sale. This means a PC can be left logged in as 1 user but the sales can still be logged by the correct salesperson.
Changing the Setting
Go to " Reports & Settings Maintenance Options System Administrator Platinum Settings".
- Press <Page-Down> to get to the "Invoicing" Page
- Here you will see a setting for "Accept Employee before Invoice". This has 3 different settings:
- 'Y' - This causes the system to ask for the Initials of the employee doing the sale before the invoice is raised
- 'N' - This is the default setting, it uses the person who is logged in to stamp them against the sales. This is used in conjunction with the system timeout.
- 'P' - This works the same as 'Y' but rather than asking for the initials of the user it asks for the password.
