MANAGERS: Please Note

Management should balance each cash drawer at the end of the day.  Upon balancing the cash drawer (Daily Balance Worksheet), POSitive retains a copy of the transaction batch and associated reports for review and reprint.

Once the cash drawer is balanced, the Information cannot be modified.  There are no editing capabilities here.
Use the pull down menu at upper-center to select the desired register or workstation.
A cash drawer may be balanced more than once per day.  Each time the drawer is balanced it is assigned a batch number.

Screen Layout

The top half records the batch status.  Choose the Register number desired.  (MultiSite Module: choose the Site)
