Editing a POS Register
You can edit a register to update its name, layout, or payment methods. However, you must close the register before making changes.
⚠️ Closing a register automatically generates a closure report, including the amounts collected for each payment method. It’s recommended to edit registers after closing them at the end of the day to avoid disruptions.
To edit a register:
Navigate to:
Settings > Locations > ⚙️ > Edit Location.
Under the Rewaa POS section, click the three dots next to the register you wish to edit and select Edit.
Deactivating or Deleting a POS Register
If a register is no longer in use, you can either deactivate or delete it.
To deactivate or delete a register:
Close the register. Learn more here.
Navigate to:
Settings > Locations > ⚙️> Edit Location.
Under the Rewaa POS section:
To delete: Click the three dots next to the register and select Delete.
⚠️ Deleted registers cannot be restored.
⚠️ Deleting registers will not affect sales records. Only the register details
will be removed from Cash Management.
Select: Delete.
To deactivate: Select Deactivate.
Select: Deactivate.
Deactivated registers will appear as “Inactive” in the POS list and can be reactivated later by selecting Activate from the same menu.
