From time to time, you may need to open the cash drawer to take out money. Here are two possible methods.
Open Cash Drawer - (the simple method)
| • | Transactions: Open Cash Drawer |
| • | Enter an ID and Password |
| • | Enter a reason in the Purpose field |
| • | Enter the amount in the Cash Out field. |
This transaction will be included in the Daily Balance Worksheet. When balancing the cash drawer, the payout will be accounted for and printed on the End Of Day reports.
Create and Print a Payout Transaction
Instead of just opening the register to make a payout for stamps, donuts, lottery winnings, or incidental vendor payments, create one or more inventory items which will print on an invoice with details about who, what, and why. Since these payouts should not affect your daily sales summary, they are assigned to the Freight category and can be reported on individually or as a group.
Advance Setup
| • | Create a Normal inventory item. |
| • | Assign it to the Freight category so that it will not impact your daily sales summary. |
| • | On the Inventory Detail set the options: Track Stock to off, Ask For Price to on, Default Quantity to -1 |
| • | Add your store or a vendor to the Customer Center (for selection when making payouts) |
Making a Payout
| • | Create an invoice for the Company Account or for Cash Sale |
| • | Add the Payout item to the invoice |
| • | Press CTRL-N to add explanatory notes |
| • | Process the invoice and get a signature |
Reports On Payouts
You may run a Sales Report: on the Freight Category or on the individual inventory item for any date range.
