Programming the Key Out Function for Cashier Mode
The key out function can only be used once per layout on the POS keyboard (if there are several uses, only the first one based on the order of the keys is used). This function is integrated in any macro that you want to execute automatically when the operator removes his key. This function is used as the last one in a macro to cause the automatic closing of the operation when the key is removed. See the example Example Macro New Balance....
If no macro on your cash register keyboard is assigned the function Key Out and the key is removed, the cash register functions Bonorder and New Balance are automatically executed when the key is removed. In the case of a transaction without a table number, when the operator key is removed, the transaction is completed and the bookings are treated as sold BAR.
In this context, remember that sales and goods movements (with certain exceptions, such as with availability management) are "only" posted when the transaction is completed. In certain companies, fraudulent intentions may mean that transactions are intentionally left open. For example, to carry out operator accounting without these sales or to manipulate the real-time disposition of stock management (and thus discredit it in order to question confidence in stock control).
If you want to protect yourself effectively against accidentally or intentionally left open processes, activate the Auto Key Outfunction.
