I see In Progress batches. What does this mean?
- The system views the serving line as active and meal transactions may still be occurring or the serving line has not been closed. In Progress batches can be handled in a few ways.
I completed my workday, but I'm unsure how to post.
- Posting is easy and should be completed before starting a new operating day. Posting an operating day allows you to enter bank deposits, daily figures, expenses & revenue, labor hours, miscellaneous counts, and review POS batches,.
I have been unable to post for a number of days. What do I do?
- If you have been unable to post for a few days, don't worry. Newton has the ability to allow you (depending upon permissions) to post multiple operating days on the correct day.
When Reviewing Transactions, I see an interrupted status. What do I do?
- If you see Interrupted as a status, it indicates the serving line dropped connectivity with the main computer due to a drop in network communication, the computer powered down in the middle of transactions, or a power outage occurred. The steps to retrieve interrupted batches can easily be resolved.
There is an additional school in which we provide meals. Is there a different procedure for posting the operating day?
- If the additional school is a Fed-By school, yes. Fed-By schools may maintain reporting information such as daily attendance, incomes/expenses, and miscellaneous counts. The procedure for posting Fed-By schools occurs at the same time as your primary school.
Refer to General Newton Questions to learn the difference between a Feeder School and a Fed-By School.
