Shift Change
The exact procedures performed at shift change vary from site to site.
NEXT SHIFT Command
The NEXT SHIFT or NE SH command stops the site, closes the current shift, loads the next
shift number, restarts the site, and opens the cash drawer for a safe drop. There is no screen
display with this command, but the shift change is logged.
NEXT SHIFT (NE SH)
[P:]* NEXT SHIFT
↵
[P:]*
A system parameter sets the number of hours required between changing shifts with NEXT
SHIFT. This parameter prevents shift changes from occurring too close together. If you use the
A option (NEXT SHIFT;A), the time limit is ignored.
A system parameter sets the beginning drawer balance each time NEXT SHIFT is run. A
negative amount in the parameter means that the balance must be carried forward from the
preceding shift.
Other Shift Change Commands
If you do not use the NEXT SHIFT command, you can still synchronize the system when the
shift is being changed. Use the command STOP to shut down the site. After the new shift
number has been loaded (see the following paragraph), use RUN to restart the site.
LOAD SHIFT (LO SH)
[P:]* LOAD SHIFT
↵
Shift number? 1
↵
[P:]*
If you do not use the NEXT SHIFT command to change shifts, you can use the command
LOAD SHIFT or LO SH to enter the number of the next shift. Often some reports are printed
at shift change time. These could include some combination of PRINT TOTALS, PRINT
SALES, PRINT SUMMARY, PRINT PUMP, PRINT TANK, PRINT QUANTITY, PRINT
DRAWER, and PRINT TRANSACTION.
Reports must be printed after the site is restarted, so the site does not have to remain shut down
when the reports are printing. Or you can redirect the reports to a disk file and print them at
any time.
If day-night pricing is used, prices can also be changed at shift-change time.
If your site’s shift-change procedure involves using several commands, consider creating
command files (described later in this manual) for shift change.
