Monitoring of POS Master data import
Import of data in cloud POS Master database can be monitored in POS Management.
The main view shows the number of rows per status in each staging table:
The number in the failed column can be clicked to open a sub-view that shows the reason why the import of the rows failed.
Example from cashier import:

Release 17.11.2023
POS API Price Validation
The POS API Price Validation tool can use used to verify that future campaigns has been transferred correctly and updated in the POS API database.
To calculate prices, the user needs to specify:
- list of items
- date/time for calculation
- store
- and optionally a member or customer
The result of the price calculation will be shown after clicking "Calculate", and it is also possible to download the cart content to view the data in detail.
Maintenance of POS Units
Adding new and editing existing POS units can be done in the POS Management module.
There are 2 types of POS Units that can be added:
Default POS Units are virtual POS'es used by the POS API. These are common for all stores.
POS Units are physical cash registers deployed in stores. These are created per store.
To add a new pos unit in a store, specify the store, pos unit number, etc.:
Existing POS units can be seen in the table and they can be deactivated if they are permanently of temporarily out of use.
Import of POS units in Chain Web from POS Management is not yet implemented. POS units must therefore be created both in Chain Web and in POS Management. The export job for POS units in Chain web should be disabled when using POS Management to maintain pos units.
Released 08.09.2023
Maintenance of reason codes
Reason code configuration, including optional support for multiple languages can be performed in POS Management.
User roles "View Reason Codes" and "Manage Reason Codes" control which users have permission to see and edit these reason codes.
In a multi country setup, texts for all defined languages will be exported from POS Management and imported in POS.
POS will use the language for the country configured on the the store's profile in Store Management.
Example: If store X belongs to profile Y, and profile Y is set to country "Norway", then the cash registers in this store X will show reason codes in Norwegian.
When migrating from reason codes in Chain Web, existing reason codes defined in Chain Web should be deactivated. Codes with matching numbers should be created in POS Management.
Roles and permissions
User roles can be defined with permissions for viewing/editing POS Units and Default POS Units.
Maintenance of POS Units is not yet fully released
Default POS Units
Default POS units can be viewed, added, edited and activated/deactivated. Adding and editing new default POS Unit is restricted by validation: number must be between 900 and 999, and has to be unique; also host name must be unique across all stores. All data regarding default POS Units is stored in the EG POSModule database (in the Chain.PosUnit table).
Default POS units is automatically created per store.
Maintenance of POS Units is not yet fully released
