Break - 01010101203

The Break function is used to temporarily lock the workstation. If Break mode is exited, the workstation returns to the same cash register status as existed before starting Break mode.

The function is either called manually or starts automatically. The function is called manually by pressing a button. The function is called automatically if the cash register is not operated for a certain time and the parameter TIMEOUT_ACTION is set to "BREAK".

It is essentially possible to start the Break mode at any time. The only prerequisite is that an operator is logged in.

When the cash register is in Break mode, it is possible to change to another operator. This is only possible if the following conditions are met:

• An open receipt does not exist.
• The new operator must be assigned to the same drawer or the drawer must be assigned to the cash register.

Break mode is finished by entering the employee data: cashier number and password. Employee data entry can be executed manually, by scanning a barcode or reading a magnetic stripe card. If the user has forgotten his/her password or is no longer present, the password entry can be skipped by authorization.

Use Cases

• Start break
• Finish the break by entering and validating the operator data (operator number and password) using the keyboard, scanner or MSR
• Password bypass
• Start the break with one operator and finish the break with another operator
