Cash Register Setup
Cash Register Setup is where cash-register login credentials are created — a Register ID + password pair that a staff member uses to log in to a physical/logical cash register before using any cashiering screen (Transaction, Cashier Shift, Quick Checkout). This screen manages the login credential directly; it is not linked to the separate Cashiers reference list.

Cash Register Login
At any cashiering screen, if not already logged in, the user is prompted for Register ID and Password — the credential pair created here (this is a separate login from the user's normal PMS username/password). After logging in, the session is used for:
- Tracking which register posted each transaction (visible in Journal by Transaction)
- Shift drop / cashier close (the shift is tied to the register login)
- Enforcing the Max Shift Drops per Day limit
Common FAQs
A user gets "No cash register session" when trying to close a shift. They must complete Cash Register Login first, using the Register ID and password set up here — not their normal PMS login.
Why doesn't a Register ID work at login? Confirm the Register ID and password were entered exactly as created here, and that the register login's Status is Active.
