PlusPoint ERROR - No outlet defined for employee

How to resolve the PlusPoint system error: "ERROR - No outlet defined for employee".

When an employee is created on PlusCentral the Outlet/s they have permission to work on should be defined. This can be found on step 3 "POS Outlet/s Worked" of the article: How do I add a new Employee in PlusCentral?

The below settings are configured by the system administrator with access to Employee Codes.
  1. To assign an outlet to an employee, navigate to General Administration -> Employee Codes.
  2. Select the employee
  3. Assign the outlet
The user needs to add the outlet to the employee by clicking on the "Add Outlet" button. A window will appear listing the Outlets that have been built in the system with empty tick boxes next to them.
Tick the appropriate boxes on the left of the screen to grant employees access to work from the outlet selected, remember to click on the "Save" button when done.

If an employee is granted access to work in more than one outlet, they will be asked to select an outlet each time they log in. If they have only been granted access to one outlet they will not get a choice and will be logged directly into that outlet.
To remove an Outlet from an employee, follow the same steps as above, except, just click on the Outlet once (highlighted in blue) and click on the "Delete Outlet" button.
