Shift reference number
The shift reference number is incremented at the start of a new day and after a shift change. The
serial number ranges from 1 to 9999 and rolls over at 9999 to 1.
Depending on the setting of the Unique shift#’s for every console parameter in SYS_PAR (page
9), the shift reference number is the same for all POS terminals or is unique for each POS. When
the Unique shift#’s for every console parameter is set to Yes, the shift reference number is unique
for each POS.
Shift number
At the beginning of each new day, the shift number is 1. Whenever the shift changes during the
day, the shift number is incremented. The shift number can range from 1 to 99.
Depending on the setting of the Unique shift#’s for every console parameter in SYS_PAR (page
9), the shift number is the same for all POS terminals or is unique for each POS. When the Unique
shift#’s for every console parameter is set to Yes, the shift number is unique for each POS. When
the shift number is the same for all POS terminals, the shift number can range from 1 to 9.
Clerk number/Fueler ID
The clerk number is the user number of the clerk currently signed on the console. (The clerk
number for transactions on any device type other than a console, such as an island card reader, is
the Fueler ID and can be set by fueler.bin or with a fueler ID card.) The clerk number for the
console ranges from 0 to 99.
Header and detail record fields
Transaction serial number
All transaction records-header and detail-have a 4-digit transaction serial number. The transaction
serial number is positive except for unsaved cash transactions. Unsaved cash transactions are
transactions that the Site Controller does not save-that is, unsaved cash transactions do not show up
when a PRINT TRANSACTIONS command is run. (Whether the Site Controller saves cash
transactions is configurable in SYS_PAR.) Regardless of the site configuration, all transactions are
included in the journal.
All transaction detail records have a transaction serial number, which is the same as the transaction
serial number in their associated transaction header record.
Detail record fields
Item position in transaction detail records
All transaction detail records have an item position, which is a 2-digit decimal number. The item
position is zero when not used.
Only merchandise detail records use the item position for sequentially numbering the merchandise
records within a transaction. The first merchandise record in a transaction has an item position of
1. The item position increments for each subsequent merchandise record in a sale. Use of the item
position limits the number of merchandise records per sale to 99, since the number is not permitted
to roll over.
Item status in transaction detail records
All transaction detail records have an item status, either normal or void. All transaction detail
records with normal item status affect totals in the associated transaction header record.
Transaction detail records with void item status have no effect on the totals in the associated
transaction header record.
