Z-OUT

 

Before installing the update, you must reset (Z-Out) all tills, and update your accounting software with sales information.

Sales history reports such as reset, item sold, or transaction detail reports may still be available. 

 

 

BACKUP

 

To find out which database is being used, log in to the Point Of Sale and hold Ctl+Alt+S or from the management go to System Settings and follow the database path. (For example, “C:\Program Files\Attitude Positive\AccuPOS.mdb” or “\\OFFICE\Attitude POSitive\AccuPOS.mdb”) Make a backup copy of this file.

 

NOTE: It is extremely important to backup the AccuPOS Retail database before you update!
