How to set the POS location time zone

The POS time zone keeps location activity aligned with the store’s business clock. It prevents the computer’s or employee’s local time zone from silently changing how the location records and displays time.

Set the location time zone

1. Open Settings > General.
2. Find Calendar & Time Zone.
3. Select the time zone where the POS location should operate.
4. Save the General settings.
5. Review time-sensitive activity after the change.

Why this matters

An owner can access an American store while traveling in Europe, or an employee can use a device configured for another region. RepairNest POS follows the saved location time zone instead of automatically adopting that device’s local time. This keeps shift activity, sales dates, alerts, and reports aligned with the store.

Before changing an active location

• Confirm the correct region and daylight-saving behavior.
• Avoid changing the time zone in the middle of an open shift unless necessary.
• Tell employees when the business clock is being changed.
• Review reports and scheduled notifications after saving.

Important: An incorrect time zone can make transactions or reports appear under an unexpected date or time. Configure each location separately.
