Wholesalers: What to do with your NCR technology if you need to close
Published March 26, 2020
As the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread, more governments are issuing restrictions designed to limit people gathering—or mandating that they stay inside altogether. Some businesses, like restaurants and entertainment venues, have been required or volunteered to close. Increasingly, this includes some retailers.
But what do you do with your NCR retail technology if you have to close down?
Here’s some guidance we put together for retail wholesalers.
Do a complete system backup
If you haven’t done a backup recently, please contact your Power Care 400 support team for more information and assistance.
You can power your system down if you’re closing
We don’t recommend unplugging your equipment, unless you make sure the system is turned off (follow proper shut-down and start-up procedures). Then do the following:
iSeries
We recommend a full system save and storage of that full system save (keep in mind where you're saving it):
Ensure all subsystems are noted
Don’t try to open the back of the iSeries server or try to vacuum it because it is dusty. Use canned air.
NCR Enterprise and Warehouse systems
Back up your data
Consider accounting period closings and final period end (sales) and enter all AR
Post start up cleaning up weekly averages
POs - determine how outstanding shipments will be handled
AP - have a process for cutting 'final' checks
Ensure all bank draft interfaces are turned off
NCR Transportation systems
If you are changing your warehouse hours, or closing a location temporarily, Power Dock allows admin users to post information to the online scheduling page for all carriers to see and schedule their shipments accordingly.
Power Transportation can be used to communicate with carriers via email or by sending load tenders via the online portal if you are changing operating hours or procedures.
If you have any questions, please contact the NCR Help Desk and ask for Power Care 400 Support.
