Complete the workflow
- 1
Choose the branch
Use the branch selector to inspect its physical tills. A register always belongs to exactly one branch.
- 2
Activate the branch before editing
Switch to the selected branch before adding, renaming, or deactivating a till. This prevents a register from being created under the wrong branch.
- 3
Maintain physical tills
Give each till a durable code matching its physical label, a clear display name, and optional location notes. Open tills cannot be deactivated.
- 4
Protect business-wide controls
Variance tolerance, automatic reconciliation and long-running session thresholds affect every branch and require Access All Branches to change.
- 5
Move to operations
Use Register operations for cashier sessions and live monitoring. Variance investigation remains a finance responsibility.
Useful tips
- Do not create a new register for each cashier or shift.
- Keep physical register codes stable so historical sessions remain easy to trace.
Troubleshooting
Add or edit is disabled
Switch the active branch to the branch currently selected in the register setup.
Business-wide controls are read only
An administrator with Access All Branches must update rules that affect every branch.
