Explanation:
Opening shift ~ "Erstellungsschicht", "Öffnungsschicht", ....
But, as mentioned in the Reference entry, I don't think this is what is literally meant.

"Arbeitsschicht öffnen"
"Das entsprechende Projekt oder die entsprechende Arbeitsschicht wird geöffnet."

The phrase is used in the following Magento usage instructions found online

Shift
What is a shift?

A shift is a period of time during which transactions take place in your store’s register. You use shifts to balance your cash drawer on a regular basis and hold staff accountable for the money they’ve handled.
How to open and close a shift?
Open a shift

At the start of your business day, you will need to open a new shift to start selling.

If there is no opening shift on the current register, you will see the messageThere is no opening shift”. To open a new shift:

Click OPEN button below the message
Enter your cash float amount, add notes if necessary
Click DONE

Access to Sell Screen

In case you don’t see the message and the button, you can open a new shift by going to Shift area. Here you can see if there is any shift opening. If no shift is opening, you will find an OPEN button on the upper left panel. Then follow the instruction above.

The message appears to relate to an error:
no transactions can be undertaken unless a 'shift' has been 'opened' in the electronic system.

To me the error message would make as much — or more — sense with "There is no open shift" or "There is no shift currently open".
So far as I read it, there must be a "shift" opened on the register in order to perform transactions, and this requirement applies to all times of the day — be it morning, noon, or night — while the shop is open for business. So perhaps it shouldn't be focussed on the "opening shift".
