To understand how sessions work in EPOS Manager, it's important to know how trading periods are tracked and recorded. A session defines when a new day or trading period begins, and multiple sessions can occur within a single day.
When End of Day is run, EPOS Manager creates a new record in the sessionsales table.
This record includes the date, till number, and a session number, which starts at 1.
If the site runs a Z read during the day, a new record is created with a session number of 2.
Session IDs are linked to all reports in EPOS Manager, except journals, and are used to move data between trading days.
Sessions are not configured within EPOS Manager, so we are unable to advise on specific session times.
Sessions are managed directly on the terminal.
For example, if a site opens for breakfast, then closes for lunch, they would run End of Session, which records the time.
They would then reopen for dinner service and run End of Session/End of Day in the evening.
To view when sessions have been run, follow the steps below:
Go to Reports in EPOS Manager.
Select Spooled Reports and choose your location.
Select the EOS Report.
This report will show the session end times.
📌 Note: Session times may vary, as they are managed locally at each site.
