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.
