The Cash Drawer Report is used when the cash drawer method of closing out the day is used instead of the closed drawer method. See Appendix A: End of day close out procedures. Operators simply log out when they finish a shift – they don’t need to use the Sales > Tools > Close Out button. The advantages are that till counts can always be edited and corrections easily made. The disadvantages are that date/time alterations are not always caught, making it difficult to detect fraud and over/shorts are not stored in the data. The Cash Drawer Report can be filtered by operator, salespoint, sold, closed and finalized. Ticket and voucher stock use can be tracked. It correctly displays amounts up to $99,999,999.99. Options include Account Activity, Detail Report, Pmt Type Breakdown, Subtotal by UDF (user defined field), Use physical counts from closeouts, Specials (Summary or Detail) and Specials – by User Defined Field.

The Cash Drawer Report may be one of your most commonly used reports. It allows you to input sales receipts and review information regarding all sales transactions in order to close out at the end of the day. It is normally run for a particular day or a particular shift. This report includes a payment type breakdown that shows where an operator might be over or under and an over and under ticket/voucher stock section. The report can be run for one operator and all salespoints to print a report for a single operator or for one salespoint and all operators to see a report for a particular salespoint.

If the cash drawer method of closeout is used, Siriusware® Inc. recommends using the blind cash-out process for end-of-day procedures. Operators bring their cash bags at the end of the day or shift, with amounts for each payment type counted. A manager takes the cash bags, verifies the amounts and enters them onto the Cash Drawer Report dialog. The manager then runs the reports instead of the operators running them. This allows the most control over the cash out process.
