The Advanced section allows you to configure advanced settings for the cash register.
The advanced settings are displayed only in the advanced view of the Cash Register form. To switch to the advanced view, at the top left of the form, select the Advanced option.
The advanced settings may differ depending on the transport media type selected.
You can view and configure the following advanced settings:
- Has Accounting: Enable this option to turn on the Accounting module.

- Allow uploading negative prices to CR: Enable this option to allow uploading items with negative prices to the cash register.
- Use real-time inventory: Enable this option to use the realtime inventory calculation algorithm. This algorithm helps avoid 'technical' shortages and overages that occur in the gap between the inventory calculation start and the shift start. For details, see Real Time Inventory.
- Use station departments list: This option can be helpful if the cash register set up at the location is legacy and does not support the Price Book functionality. For such cash registers, you can set up a list of departments that will be used at the location level.

To set up the list of departments, enable the Use Station Departments List option and at the bottom of the form, click Save to save the changes. Once the form reloads, get back to the Use Station Departments List option and click Set Station Departments List. Then configure the list of departments for the location.

With the Paidout Control System in place, the manager will have to create payout records in the shift report for pending invoices. Without payout records, invoices will not be accepted.
- Invisible: Use this option to mark the location as invisible. Invisible locations are not displayed on the CStoreOffice® home page and in reports and can be accessed only from the locations list in CStoreOffice® settings.

Specifying this option is mandatory under the following conditions:
If the Calculate lottery instant tickets sales option is not specified for the cash register, manually entered lottery sales data will not be displayed in these reports.
Files with the price book updates are generated only if the Allow CR Updates option is selected. If the Allow CR Updates option is not selected, the files with price book updates are not generated and, therefore, cannot be sent to CR. For more information, see Shared Options.
If the Send updates for accepted changes option is not selected while the Allow CR Updates option is selected, the updates may be accumulated in the CR Pending section and displayed there for a long period. For details, see Troubleshooting Pending Updates Issues.
