Commissary Auto Post Setup

Overview:Commissary Auto Posting will automatically Post all Off Site, and On Site Orders that are in the Pre-Order Queue of Lockdown at a specified date(s) and time.Additionally, if the Facility is set up for Online Commissary / Web Pack (New style), the Web Orders will also post at the same time.If the Facility wants to Post the On Site Items at a different time/date, a Posting Group Restriction must be set up to allow for the Manual Posting of the On Site items (See Instruction “Establish Item Posting Group”).

Options.The following Options must be set in the “Commissary” Tab.
