Drawer Transactions
Drawer transactions allow you to insert or remove cash from the drawer outside of normal sales. These are also known as pay-ins and pay-outs. They keep the drawer totals accurate for end-of-day reconciliation.
Pay-Ins (Cash In)
A pay-in records cash being added to the drawer that is not from a sale. Common reasons include adding change from the bank, returning petty cash, or correcting a previous error. To perform a pay-in:
- 1 Navigate to Drawer Transactions from the Dashboard
- 2 Select Pay In
- 3 Enter the dollar amount being added
- 4 Add a note describing the reason
- 5 Confirm to complete the pay-in
Pay-Outs (Cash Out)
A pay-out records cash being removed from the drawer that is not a refund. Common reasons include taking cash to the bank, paying a vendor, or removing excess cash for safekeeping. To perform a pay-out:
- 1 Navigate to Drawer Transactions from the Dashboard
- 2 Select Pay Out
- 3 Enter the dollar amount being removed
- 4 Add a note describing the reason
- 5 Confirm to complete the pay-out
