Balance Approval by Manager
(Manager Approval)
Access
Once the Balance
a Cash Drawer process has been run, the manager must approve all cash
drawers that are out of balance. The Report
Cash Balancing Exceptions lists out-of-balance cash drawers. When
you indicate the cash balancing reference number, the program displays
either the cashier, drawer, or store (depending on the Group
Payments by settings in the Cash
Balancing Control Settings), as well as the start time, end time,
over/short amount, and date. The manager thus has the opportunity to correct,
balance, and choose whether to approve drawers that are out of balance,
and to post payment transactions that a cashier may have missed.
Any adjustments
you make via this routine post with a transaction date equal to the transaction
date associated with the other transactions in the cash drawer.
To use this routine, in Cash Balancing Control Settings, the Extended
Cash Balancing setting in must be checked and/or Group Payments
by, Number of Tries or Post to Suspense.
Important! This screen displays
system-recorded totals as well as those entered during cash balancing.
Therefore, we recommend you establish menu security to limit access to
this routine.

of the cash drawer assigned during the Balance
a Cash Drawer process that you want view and/or approve. If
you click the Search button, a
list of suspended cash drawer reference numbers appears from which you
can choose.

whose operator-entered total you want to adjust. You can also double-click
on a grid item to select it. Once selected, the system total displays

System TotalOnce you

payment type displays. Payments posted using the Actions option, Cash
Post, affect the amount in this field.
Posted TotalThe operator
posted total entered on the Blind
Cash Balancing Screen defaults. You can edit this amount. If you edit
this field, click the Add button

is in balance and the Difference column in the grid changes from "Yes"
to "No", indicating there is no difference between the operator
and system totals for this payment type.
