This topic explains how to set up functionality profiles. You can use the settings in these profiles to specify how registers work at the point of sale. For example, you can specify how cashiers log on and off the register, specify information about secondary currencies, control the aggregation of products and payments, specify info codes, and enable X and Z reports.
After the functionality profile is set up, you can assign it to one or more stores.
