# Open POS Unit

POST https://api.npretail.app/{tenant}/{environment}/{company}/pos/unit/{unitId}/open

Opens a POS Unit so it can accept sales. Idempotent: if the unit is already OPEN, returns the current unit state.
Only UNATTENDED POS Units can be opened via this endpoint — it is intended for self-service / kiosk flows.
Returns 400 when the unit is not UNATTENDED, INACTIVE (cannot be opened via API — activate it first), or EOD
(complete the attended End-of-Day procedure before reopening). Returns 404 if the unitId is unknown.
