RE: Checking Cash register activity from Back Office
Your options to control and monitor cashier activity in POS include:
+ Security levels to control POS screen access to forms, dropdown menus, and buttons
+ Cashier rights settings such as "Allowed to exit POS", "Allowed to change tax status", "Allowed to perform No Sales", "Allowed to perform Drops and Pay Outs", "Allowed to perform empty transactions", and "Allowed to abort transactions"
+ Cashier properties such as Floor limit, Refund limit, Over/Short limits
+ POS options to "Print no sale receipt" and "Force logon each sale"
+ Journal enabled for any receipt printers defined
These options should provide everything you need to lock down register activity to whatever rules you'd like to enforce. You can then run reports and view the journal in Manager to review all activity by each register.
If you need a visual audit in real time, the DVR option mentioned is the way to go.
