Configuring Self Checkout Mode

Settings on the POS Server

Configuring POS Client in the Storemanager

Changes must be made to the following files:

• clientSystem.properties
• autoLoginConfigs.properties
• hal.properties

1. Set the following in the file clientSystem.properties :

    ApplicationConfigs.Default.mainModule=classpath\:/processModels/tpos/SimpleSco.module
   ...
   SystemConfig.workstationTypeCode=SCO
    SystemConfig.workstationTypeConfig.useLoginTypeTechnicalForLoginManager=true

2. Enable automatic login (autoLoginConfigs.properties):

   AutoLoginConfigs.Default.isAutoLoginEnabled=true

3. In the file autoLoginConfigs.properties , enter the name and password of the technical operator you created on the POS Server, e.g.:

   AutoLoginConfigs.Default.autoLoginName=9000
    AutoLoginConfigs.Default.autoLoginPassword=$2a$04$7tFbPL7YproL/ceujUxrZeyF2lJI.PBqM4PoBoysjhvoRZZsHCkPm

   Note:

   When starting the self checkout, the technical operator will be automatically logged in.
4. In the file hal.properties , disable the cash drawer via the device editor:

   DeviceEntryTypes.VirtualCashDrawer.id=VirtualCashDrawer
   ...
   DeviceEntryTypes.VirtualCashDrawer.enabled=false
   DeviceEntryTypes.VirtualCashDrawer.active=false

Additional Configurations

By default, the customer’s language is selected on the self checkout welcome screen ( services-client.properties):

LocalizationServiceConfig.defaultCustomerLocale=de_DE

In addition, all panels can be maintained via the file mediapanel.properties . This may look as follows:

 MediaPanelConfig.channels.0.panels.21.id=gcScanPaymentScoLeftMediaPanel
 MediaPanelConfig.channels.0.panels.21.media.0.id=DefaultMediaGroup
 MediaPanelConfig.channels.0.panels.21.media.0.schedulerId=DefaultScheduler
 MediaPanelConfig.channels.0.panels.21.media.0.images.0.fileName=image/item/550x550/giftcard.png

In this case, the image giftcard.png is downloaded from the Digital Signage Server and displayed in the item info function when payment is made by gift card.

More information on the configuration is found under the section "Graphical customer display configuration".

Menu Configuration

The menu configuration is performed via the Menu Editor.

After configuring the menu via the Menu Editor, enter the variant name in the file tableau.properties . This may look as follows:

TableauConfig.variantNames.0=POS
TableauConfig.variantNames.1=SCO

The following table contains the descriptions of the parameters:

The variant names match the ones you already defined on the Menu Editor. The corresponding tableau menus for service and for self checkout mode are also maintained via the Menu Editor.

The variant name can also be configured in Storemanager via the display editor.

OneX Self Checkout Specific Configuration

The following settings are specific for OneX SCO.

Configuring User Rights

In general, the operator of a Self Checkout POS has the same rights as the technical user. To prevent the operator from executing functions that are not permitted for them, the corresponding rights should NOT be assigned to them. This includes, in particular, the following rights:

Configuring Event Service

The Event Service sends messages from the Self Checkout to the SCO Assistant Application. The SCO Assistant is an application to manage the events from the Self Checkout on a mobile device and resolve them, if possible. Events are always sent when the intervention of a cashier is required, e.g. when buying sales-restricted items (alcohol, cigarettes), if the help button is pressed or if other entries are required by the cashier. To resolve the events on the Self Checkout, the sales assistant can confirm the events from the SCO Assistant Application, depending on the type of the event, or handle them directly at the Self Checkout.

In addition, the status of the Self Checkout is displayed on the SCO Assistant Application.

To configure the communication between the Self Checkout and Event Service, the following steps are required:

1. Enable the Event Service and set a device group in the eventServiceConfigs.properties :

   EventServiceConfigs.Default.eventServiceEnabled=true
   EventServiceConfigs.Default.eventServiceDeviceGroup=DEFAULT

2. Configure the communication to the Event Service in the webServiceConfig.properties :

    WebServiceConfig.EventServiceConfig.adress=ws://localhost:8080/event-service-war/services/stomp/
   WebServiceConfig.EventServiceConfig.username={user name}
   WebServiceConfig.EventServiceConfig.password={password}

   The following table contains the description of the parameters:

   Parameter	Description
   WebServiceConfig.EventServiceConfig.adress	Defines the URL to the Event Service.
   WebServiceConfig.EventServiceConfig.username	Defines the username to connect to the Event Service.
   WebServiceConfig.EventServiceConfig.password	Defines the encrypted password to connect to the Event Service.

3. Configure the scheduler (optional)
   In addition, there is an Event Service scheduler. It is used when login and logout of the Self Checkout Station were not successful. In this case, the operation is repeated according to the configuration of the Event Service scheduler. The Event Service scheduler is configured in the scheduler_event-service.properties .

   scheduler.repeatInterval=15s
   scheduler.enabled=true

   The following table contains the description of the parameters:

   Parameter	Description
   scheduler.repeatInterval	Defines after how many seconds the scheduler should run again if a corresponding event could not be sent successfully.
   scheduler.enabled	Property for enabling/disabling the Event Service scheduler.

   Note:

   Event Service Scheduler Info

   The scheduler is only used for login and logout events of the Self Checkout Station. If any other events could not be sent, there will be no attempt to send them again. When offline, however, a different message is displayed to the customer in the event that authorization is required. This means that the customer is aware of the situation and can contact a cashier directly.
