Store Exchange files must be secured by a password. Password encryption helps protect your data from being read if intercepted by unintended recipients.

Important: The same password must be entered at each store. If the password encrypting a Store Exchange file you receive does not match the password you have entered, you will not be able to process the file.

To define your Store Exchange password:

1. From the Stores menu, select Configure Store Exchange.

2. Select Store Exchange from the menu on the left of the company preferences window.

3. Select the Options tab on the displayed page.

4. Select Change Password.

5. Enter your password.

Notes:

- You can also set your password from the Store Exchange Center. From the Stores menu, select Store Exchange Center and then select Set Password.

- If you use Point of Sale for more than one company file, be sure you enter a different password for each company file. Otherwise, the receiving store could process a file into the wrong company file.
