Update 1116 31 December 2024

A new concept of a 'supervisor' has been implemented in POS. As all actions are controlled by permissions, a "supervisor" is any user who can do something that the current user can't. Ie, there is no single attribute that makes someone a 'supervisor'. This is to facilitate the different policies on different railways, eg some railways allow all clerks to do refunds, and some require a manager. In the former case, the refund facility will be (and is already) available without supervisor intervention, in the latter case a supervisor (someone with refunds permission) would be required to log in to do the action. The following permissions relate to POS actions, which can now be done by a supervisor if the clerk doesn't have permission. 524 - Conduct refunds in POS via Recall Method 525 - Conduct refunds in POS via Quick method 526 - Create Provisional Orders 527 - Create Deposit Orders 528 - Collect payments by MOTO Method 538 - Adjust Prices on the fly The supervisor can log in using the orange button in the 'Supervisor' menu on the right hand side. When logged in, the top of the screen goes orange as a visual reminder (similar to when Admin-logging-in to HOPS). When the supervisor has completed their action, they can press 'log out', and the POS will be returned to the original user. All this can take place while an order is in progress, the basket etc is unaffected.
