Cash drop¶
It is possible to configure ProEPOS to be able to prompt the cashier to perform a cash drop when the till drawer reaches a set amount of cash sales (the amount can be set by the store owner in the configuration options) and record any Cash drops to the safe to reduce the amount of cash held in the tills.
| Sample 1 | Sample 2 | Sample 3 | Sample 4 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Float | £200.00 | N/A | £200.00 | £200.00 |
| Cash sales | £500.00 | £500.00 | £500.00 | £20.00 |
| Petty cash | £50.00 | £50.00 | £0.00 | £50.00 |
| Lottery payouts | £150.00 | £150.00 | £30.00 | £30.00 |
| Cashback | £0.00 | £0.00 | £0.00 | £0.00 |
| SimplePayments | £0.00 | £0.00 | £0.00 | £0.00 |
| Cash in drawer {Float} + {Cash sales} - {Petty cash} - {Lottery payouts} - {Cashback} - {SimplePayments} |
£500.00 | £300.00 | £670.00 | £140.00 |
| Cash drop available {Cash sales} - {Petty cash} - {Lottery payouts} - {Cashback} - {SimplePayments} |
£300.00 | £300.00 | £470.00 | -£60.00 |
Note
Sample 1-
Standard example with float, petty cash disbursements and lottery payouts
Sample 2-
Same as Sample 1 except store is not using float handling
Sample 3-
Same as Sample 1 but only lottery payouts and a smaller value
Sample 4-
Shows what happens when you have had more cash going out of the till than you have coming into the till, to have any amount available to cashdrop you would need an additional £60.01+ to have any cash available to be dropped
Caveat
The lottery payouts in particular is that we are assuming they are refunded (in cash) but may be offset against a card transaction, for example.
There are 2 ways of knowing when a cash drop is required the first is that the change dialog changes from a yellow background to a green background, the other is the 'Cash drop required' message that appears at the top of the POS terminal window:
To perform a cash drop tap the £ drop button:
Enter the amount of cash being dropped into the safe, the amount of cash available to drop is displayed in the window title bar, this amount is the value of the cash sales not including the float is held in the system, in the below example £500.00:
When the amount has been entered a slip prints out that should be attached to the cash being placed in the safe so as it can be reconciled with the amounts dropped through the day when the cashing up process is performed. If the slip does not print out immediately, is corrupted or only partially prints it is possible to perform a reprint of the slip by tapping Yes on the reprint request window:
When the slip has printed successfully and the No button is tapped on the reprint window another window stating the amount of money dropped is displayed.
Tap the OK button to return to the POS terminal window.
All of the cash drops are printed out when a Z-Read is performed.
