Open Checks Purge

The POS terminal allows users to permanently delete unwanted open checks after a retention period of 30 days.

This function is used to select open checks for deletion. Once marked, the open checks are purged after a period of 30 days from when they are selected for deletion.

Perform the following steps to select open checks to be deleted:

Log on to the POS terminal.

Navigate to Jump Bar ➜ Functions ➜ Open Checks Purge (#2090). The Open Checks Purge screen appears. Two tabs, Purge, and Recover, are displayed. The Purge tab displays the list of open checks available in the terminal.

Select the checks and select Delete. The checks once deleted are moved to the Recover tab. Users can recover any check from this tab if needed within the retention window.

Important Points
