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 Parameter

Go to " Systems Reports & Settings Maintenance Options System Administrator System Parameters".

  • Press <PGDN> 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.
N (Yes/No/Password)
