Run the End of Day Process

When your shift ends or no more orders can be entered, you can reconcile the cash in the drawer based on the sales transactions that occurred during the day. To do this:

  1. In the POS End of Day Processing form, specify the value of the Cash Drawer.
  2. Specify the Adjustment Posting Date , which is used if an adjustment must be made.
  3. Specify the Cash and Check balances of the drawer.
  4. Select the method used to check in the drawer: Balanced or Not Balanced.
    Note:  In order to check in the drawer as Balanced, the total balance must equal the total amount of the orders entered plus the starting balance when the drawer was checked out.

    If you select the Balanced check-in option, and the balance is off, a message is displayed to indicate the amount by which the balance is off, and the drawer is not checked in until this is corrected.

    Usually you want the drawer to be checked in without regard to the balance status, so you select both options. However, if you want the cashier to always recount the drawer prior to check-in if it does not balance, select only Balanced. Or, to keep track of cashiers who regularly have out-of-balance drawers, you could select only Not Balanced.

  5. Click Process.
