Using Cash Drawers in Comsense

Cash drawers act like retail store cash drawers, each cash drawer:

• Can only have one cashier at a time
• Can have a float
• Requires a cash-out when closing the cash drawer

You need a cash drawer any time you move money around in the system. This includes:

• Processing customer payments
• When a customer has 0.00 available credit or insufficient credit
• Applying a deposit to an order
• Completing a shipment that has a deposit

Accessing Cash Drawer

Enterprise > Order Entry > Cash Drawer

1. Select the cash drawer

2. Select the cashier

In the Float pane:

3. Add any applicable float money

In the top toolbar:

4. Click Release
5. Click Save & Close

The cash drawer is now ready for use in the system.

Deleting Float Line Items

In the Float pane:

1. Right-click on the line item

2. Click Delete Float

The float line item is deleted.

Cashing Out a Cash Drawer

Before closing a cash drawer there must be an unreconciled difference of 0.00. To achieve an unreconciled difference of 0.00, cash-out the difference.

In the Cash-out pane, Enter the denominations and quantity of the cash-out.

The unreconciled difference is now 0.00 and you can close the cash drawer.

Closing a Cash Drawer

In the Cash Drawer window:

1. Select the cash drawer line item
2. Click Close

3. Click Confirm

4. Click Save & Close

The cash drawer is now closed.

*Note: It is important to confirm the cash drawer because it is the transaction that creates the general ledger journal entry and removes the cash drawer from the list of open cash drawers.
