Nomni POS has a list of System settings, each with a short code like A10, B7 or C9. Our team often mentions these codes. This guide explains the ones you'll use most and how to change them.
Before you start
You need a manager or admin login. If B13 is on, only admins can change settings.
Codes can be slightly different for some businesses. If a code doesn't match, search for the setting name instead.
How to find and change a setting
On Nomni POS, open the menu at the top and tap Settings.
Tap the System tab.
Type the code or part of the name in the search box (for example "B7" or "cash drawer").
Turn the setting on or off.
On the Master POS, go to Settings > Sync and tap MASTER SYNC so every device gets the change.
What you should see: the setting shows the new value, and it works on every POS after the Master Sync.

If something goes wrong
The change doesn't show on other iPads
Check you changed it on the Master POS.
Run MASTER SYNC on the Master.
On each Slave, also run a sync from Settings > Sync.
I can't change a setting
Your login may not have permission, or B13 may be on. Ask an admin user to change it.
I can't find a setting
Search by name rather than code. Some settings are only visible to admins, and some can only be changed by our team. Message us and tell us what you want to change.
