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. 1 Navigate to Drawer Transactions from the Dashboard
  2. 2 Select Pay In
  3. 3 Enter the dollar amount being added
  4. 4 Add a note describing the reason
  5. 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. 1 Navigate to Drawer Transactions from the Dashboard
  2. 2 Select Pay Out
  3. 3 Enter the dollar amount being removed
  4. 4 Add a note describing the reason
  5. 5 Confirm to complete the pay-out
