Counts / Correction on cash registration

It is possible that you enter an incorrect amount for the pin count when closing the cash register. Because of this you get differences that are not correct, since you cannot adjust the cash count after you have saved it, you need to correct this with the next (in-between) cash count.

To correct a negative count:

Did you enter too little in the count? Then you must correct this by counting the amount that you have entered too little as being too much at the next count. So on top of your actual pin count.

To correct a positive count:

Did you enter too much in the count? Then you must correct this by counting the amount that you have entered too much as being too little in the next count. So deduct this amount from your actual pin count (note, this means you may have to enter a negative amount).


Print receipt

Receipts can be printed using a thermal receipt printer. You can link a receipt printer to a cash drawer.

1. Go to the POS module;
2. Click on edit ;
3. Enter the receipt printer IP adress;
4. Enter the printer port;
5. Determine the number of characters per line of the receipt printer.

Receipt date adjustment

It is not possible to modify the date of a receipt after the fact.
If there is a discrepancy in the setting up of the checkout and you have forgotten to issue a receipt, you can then create the receipt and close the checkout at that time.


Journalizing ledger accounts

When a checkout transaction occurs, we post a journal entry. We split out the amounts in this journal entry.

The purchase order of a product is booked to the checkout suspense account. At the time of payment it is booked to the cash or pin [electronic payment] account.
