Phase 1
Phase 1: Attempting to Retrieve from Main Machine

If communication is interrupted between machines during a meal, after the meal is stopped the batch may be marked as In Progress indicating that Newton has not received complete batch information from the POS machine. If network connectivity is restored prior to close of service the following steps should resolve any In Progress batches. In the event these steps do not resolve the issue, please continue on to Phase 2.

  1. From the Point of Sale tab, select Review Transactions. 

2. Check the Status column for any batches marked "In Progress".

  • Click Retrieve to gather the batch data from the POS Machine. 

3. Select the Offline Data. Then, click Retrieve.

  • A message will appear with the number of batches retrieved. 

4.The status of the batch will change to Interrupted.

  • Select the batch and click Toggle/Skip. 
  • The status will change to Awaiting Posting. 
5.Complete the posting process as usual.

Phase 2: Restarting and Closing Point of Sale

If a meal is still running, restarting the POS program should reestablish communication with the main machine and update the batch. If the meal has been stopped, reopen Point of Service and then close Point of Service. This should send the batch from the POS machine to the main machine.

  1. Open Newton POS on the POS machine.
  • From the Newton POS Login screen, click Cancel to access the Quit Newton Point-of-Sale menu.

(It is not necessary to log in and open the POS line if transactions are not being processed.) 

2. Quit Newton POS by clicking Exit Point-Of-Sale. 

3.If batches still pending, a warning message will appear.

  • Click Yes to send the pending batches. 
4.If the batch is successfully sent, retrieve batch data. (See Phase 1)
Info

If communication between the machines is still not available, there is an option to send data offline. See the Manually Transferring Data document for more information.

Phase 3: Send Archive Batches

If Newton POS loses communication with the main machine, when it is shut down it creates an archive file. If the Retrieve function and the Restart process have not sent the batch data, the next step is to send the archived batch file. 

  1. Open Newton POS on the POS machine.
  • From the Newton POS Login screen, click Cancel to access the main menu.

(It is not necessary to log in and open the POS line if transactions are not being processed.) 

2.Select Send Archived Batches from the POS menu. 

3.Select the archive date that needs to be sent and click Open.

  • The file name is the archive date in YYYYMMDD format. 
4.Click Exit Point-Of-Sale to close the program.
