Recording Transactions Properly in POS
Window positions will be cut if downtime in not properly recorded.
Recording Transactions Properly in POS
The POS system lets you indicate a variety of transactions. If you have to retrieve a parcel, hit customer service non-automated transactions, and follow the steps associated with that action. For example, if a customer comes in for mail pick-up, hit “other customer service”, “non-automated transactions”, “non-automated pick-up” and “stand by”. Once you retrieve the mail for the customer, log on and hit “mail pickup” and scan the items, if appropriate. Then hit “end of visit”. The system records the begin time and end time of the entire transaction. If you don’t follow this procedure, the system will record the entire transaction as downtime. Below is the list for recording non-revenue transactions. Always make sure, if you are away from the window, you hit “Standby”.
