AccuPOS Retail Version 8

Upgrade Instructions

Z-OUT

Before installing the update, you must reset (Z-Out) all tills, and update your accounting software with sales information. Once AccuPOS is upgraded, you will not be able to regenerate old sales information to your accounting software. 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!

EXECUTE APUP8.EXE

Download apup8.exe and save it to your hard drive. You will need to install the upgrade on every computer that has either Management or Point Of Sale installed on, so make sure that you save the file in a shared folder that all computers have access to. The folder that the AccuPOS.mdb database resides in may be a good choice.

1. Close all AccuPOS Retail Point Of Sale and Management modules.

2. Execute apup8.exe on all Point Of Sale and Management computers.

3. Start AccuPOS Retail Management first.

NOTE: Starting Point Of Sale first after an upgrade may damage your database. Make sure you start the AccuPOS Retail Management Module first.
