The Till Balance feature allows you to have all employees
balance their own tills at the end of each shift. This speeds up the End
of Day and removes the room for error when employees may have already left for
the day.
- Open the Till Balance window.
- If this employee has had one or more shifts since the payments have
been deposited, the following window will appear (if not, proceed to step
4).
When a shift's till is created, it is assigned a unique number. If the
employee has entered one or more payments since the last time they balanced
a till, and the payments have not been posted in the end of day process, the employee has the
option to:
- Assign the payments to the same till as they previously balanced. This means that all money taken across a number of days is simply being lumped together into one till #.
- Create a new shift till for the unbalanced payments. This means you are putting new money into a new till #.
- A combination of the above by putting some money into an existing till and the rest into a new till. You can do this by
- selecting the existing till
- removing all but the 'new' payments you want to add to that existing till
- indicate that the till now balances with the selected payments.
- Anything not balanced in one till will be left to the balance in another till.
- Anything marked as not balanced in an existing till will be taken out of that till. It can then be put into another till (new or otherwise), effectively providing at way to move money between employee till numbers.
Regardless of the option taken, it is the same amount of money to the end of day process. Use Till #'s for your internal processing if you wish as it means nothing to Theatre Manager end of day balancing - other than it lets you segregate money by shift if you want.
-
