Often after cash register upgrades for Verifone Commander / Verifone Sapphire, the report period names change. Once these report period names change, CStoreOffice® and the DC Box will still be attempting to pull the data from the system using the old information. Upgrading the cash register to newer software versions for certain brands of fuel (BP, Exxon, etc.) can be the cause. Follow the steps below to log in to the Commander using the Petroleum CStoreOffice® Client and review the new report period's name. Adjust the information in CStoreOffice® and re-program the DC Box to use that information.
- Log in to the Verifone Commander via your web browser using the following URL: https://{CR IP address}/ConfigClient.html.
- Go to the report configuration menu under Reporting.
- Check the configuration for period 1.
- Check the configuration for period 2.
- In CStoreOffice®, on the cash register reports page, click Advanced and verify that data matches the data on the Verifone Commander register.
- If the data does not match, change the report period to either "shift" or "day".
- In the Pending Shifts section of CStoreOffice®, click the Receive Shifts button.
- Log in to the Radiant Share via Windows Explorer using the VPN IP Ex. //10.249.14.22.
