Opening The Store

The Opening the Store form is displayed when the 'Confirm business date' is enabled in System Setup for the business. ProfitSystem will automatically display the 'Open Store' form to the first Register as it logs into ProfitSystem. This form is displayed when the current computer's system date is different than the previous ProfitSystem business date.

Complete the form to complete the store opening. This process sets the business DATE to the date the user accepted/entered into the Open Store form. The business Date and the computer's clock/system date may be different dates, but usually are the same date. A store may be opened on a business date that have been previously closed. When a business date is entered/accepted of a previously closed business the system presents an alert of the business date has been closed. A user may move about the ProfitSystem system, but may not edit or create new financial transactions. HOWEVER, the store may be REOPENED for the business date by the user entering the Register functions menu and choosing Store Open.

See the FAQ 'How do I change the ProfitSystem business date' for additional information.
