Start a POS Working Period
How to Start a POS Working Period in Muhasib ERP
Overview
This guide will help you start the working period required for needed POS operations.
Muhasib creates a work-period record and marks it active. A concurrent attempt is rejected when another user has already started one.
Who can do this
You need access to Access to Working Period and the required POS/register operation permissions.
Before you start
Confirm the active fiscal year, company, location, terminal, business date, and that another user has not already started the period.
Before saving, check that the correct company is open and that you have permission to complete this task.
Where to find it
Back Office → Sales & Customers → Working Period.
Start a POS Working Period
Step 1: Open Working Period
Step 2: Review the current status and timestamp
Step 3: If no period is active, choose Start Period
Step 4: Wait for the successful-start message
Step 5: Open the required POS register through its supported workflow
Check your work
Reopen Working Period and confirm Active status/start time. Confirm authorized POS entry can proceed.
Take a moment to check your work before closing the window. This small check can save time later.
If something goes wrong
- If already started, refresh rather than creating another period.
- If the fiscal year is missing, configure it before transactions.
