Declaring cash and closing the day

Start

Before you start

• The cash drawer counted.
• Whether your count includes the float.
• A POS login with access to Reports.

Declaring the cash

Step 1

Open Count Cashdrawer

Sign in to the POS and go to Reports → Count Cashdrawer.

Step 2

Start the count

Choose Cash, then Enter Count.

Step 3

Enter what is in the drawer

Type the total amount of cash in the drawer.

Step 4

Say whether the float is included

If your count includes the float, choose Yes and the POS takes the float off the declaration. Press the green tick to save and close.

Step 5

Check the payment totals

Go to Reports → X and Z Reports and read the payment totals. If they are right, press the green tick to finalise. If there is a variance, correct the declaration first.

Step 6

Take the old figure back out

Go to Reports → Count Cashdrawer, press the minus button and enter the amount you declared before, without the float, to bring it back to zero. Press the green tick to save.

Step 7

Declare the right amount

Count and declare again, exactly as above, then check the payment totals once more.

Step 8

Finalise and print

When the totals match, finalise the Z report and print it. The shift or day is closed.
