In most of the retail stores the sales representative will be having an individual mobile device to suggest and help their customers, but they will be having only one pos device to perform their sales transaction and that pos device will be shared across the different sales representative.
Since the device is being shared across different representative. In most of the cases after performing a sales transaction the sales representative forgets to logoff their session. This will affect in the sales representative report.
In Dynamics 365 for finance and operations we have a configuration setup where the pos device will get logged off after each transaction. So that sales representative must enter their respective login credentials to perform their sale.
