1
00:00:01.245 --> 00:00:06.481
In this episode we add a new store to the business, and then give it a register.

2
00:00:07.729 --> 00:00:13.448
An outlet is one store location. Each outlet has its own stock, its own registers

3
00:00:13.448 --> 00:00:18.178
and its own receipt numbers. A register is a till inside an outlet.

4
00:00:18.452 --> 00:00:23.392
You find both in Settings. This is the Outlets tab. It lists your stores with their

5
00:00:23.392 --> 00:00:28.034
code, time zone and whether they are active. Here we have Harbor Mall and Main

6
00:00:28.034 --> 00:00:28.451
Street.

7
00:00:29.949 --> 00:00:32.305
Click New outlet.

8
00:00:32.455 --> 00:00:37.004
Give the store a name, Riverside, and a short code. The code is a few capital

9
00:00:37.004 --> 00:00:41.672
letters that identify the store in reports and on screen, so we will use R I V.

10
00:00:43.380 --> 00:00:48.624
Then the address, phone and email. They are optional, but useful.

11
00:00:49.497 --> 00:00:54.783
The time zone matters. Reports use it to decide where one day ends and the next

12
00:00:54.783 --> 00:00:59.266
begins. Riverside is in Dallas, so we choose America slash Chicago.

13
00:00:59.958 --> 00:01:04.945
The Active switch controls whether the outlet is in use. Leave it on and press Save.

14
00:01:06.281 --> 00:01:10.077
Riverside is now in the list, with its own code and time zone.

15
00:01:10.986 --> 00:01:13.776
Now the register. Open the Registers tab.

16
00:01:15.294 --> 00:01:20.722
Each row is a till: its outlet, its name, its receipt prefix, and the number the

17
00:01:20.722 --> 00:01:23.572
next receipt will get. Click New register.

18
00:01:24.518 --> 00:01:27.433
First choose the outlet. We want Riverside.

19
00:01:28.634 --> 00:01:30.990
Name the register Register 1.

20
00:01:31.818 --> 00:01:37.219
The receipt prefix starts every receipt number from this register. With R 1 and a

21
00:01:37.219 --> 00:01:42.621
dash, the receipts will be R1 dash 1, R1 dash 2, and so on. Every register should

22
00:01:42.621 --> 00:01:47.289
have its own prefix, so a receipt number tells you where it came from.

23
00:01:48.170 --> 00:01:52.789
The card reader field is only for stores that use a connected card terminal. We

24
00:01:52.789 --> 00:01:54.367
leave it empty. Press Save.

25
00:01:55.984 --> 00:02:00.018
The new register is listed, and the next receipt will be R1 dash 1.

26
00:02:01.698 --> 00:02:06.950
The pencil on any row lets you edit it. The other button deactivates it. You cannot

27
00:02:06.950 --> 00:02:12.012
delete a store or register that has sales, because the history must stay, so you

28
00:02:12.012 --> 00:02:16.441
switch it off instead. Tick Include inactive to see switched off ones.

29
00:02:17.025 --> 00:02:22.178
The register exists, but nobody can use it until the device is enrolled. We will do

30
00:02:22.178 --> 00:02:26.090
that in episode seven. Next, we set up taxes and payment types.
