When making settlement payments, the best thing is to pay settlements by check or use money not from the till. It will simplify matters to reserve the till for sales only. In most situations sales clerks won't be doing settlements. There is currently no way to know from whose till a payment was made, other than restricting employee access to settlements and not paying settlements from sales tills.

Cash Drawer Balance

The Cash-Drawer-Balance feature tracks each salesperson's cash-drawer balance in real time and determines how much money should be in the till at any time.

An employee starting a shift clicks on Start/End Shift on the Sales Menu.

The Shift-Recap Form opens.

Enter the starting amount in the Till and click 'Continue'.

Any time during the shift, reopen this screen to view the balance. The amount of money in the Cash Drawer should equal the balance shown on this screen. Click 'Continue' when finished.

Open the same screen at the end of the shift and balance the Till against the total shown.

Click on 'Close Out' to return the balance to zero in preparation for the next shift.

It is possible for more than one Employee to use BCSS at the Point of Sale. All Employees can track balances separately at the same time, logging in as needed.

At the end of the day, separate totals are available for each Employee when logged in. Totals for an Employee will not show when that Employee is not logged in.

The 'On Shift' drop-down box shows which Employees are being tracked. Click on Sales on the Main Menu -

If Employee logins are not enabled, this drop-down box will show 'Store Owner' when it is tracking sales. It will be blank when not tracking sales.
