By default all product and keyboard allocation changes are made live. Once the save button has been pressed, the changes are sent down to the EPoS terminals.
If an EPoS terminal does not have a connection to the internet at the time of the changes, the updates will be applied to that EPoS terminal the next time it connects to the internet.
You can view any pending updates via the Terminals menu. You can then click on the pendin update qty to view the updates. If you have multiple POS terminals, click on Head Office to select the site - this enables you to see the update status for each EPoS terminal.
In some circumstances you may not wish changes to be made live. For example, new price or menu changes that kick in on a future date.
