If you use cash drawer handling, use this program before Cash Drawer Sign On at the beginning of each shift and before
Update Shift is the program enables you to place trays in drawers and to assign starting amounts to trays. It also allows you to remove trays from cash drawers so they can be balanced in the Balance Cash Trays program.
Assigned trays are removed by assigning a new tray to a drawer in this program’s Cash Tray ID field (see below). For example, if you want to remove tray dd1 from drawer ssi, enter another tray ID, say dd2.
Once you specify another tray, it is ready to be balanced in the Balance Cash Trays program.
This field figuratively opens a drawer so that you can place a tray in it. If you are removing a tray, you need to enter the ID of the drawer the tray was assigned to at the beginning of the shift. If a tray is assigned to the drawer you entered, the tray ID appears to the right of this field.
F2 allows you to perform a cash drawer search. The search displays the list of cash drawers, the link file created for it (if one is required), the tray assigned to it, whether or not it requires a password and whether it’s being used in an open shift.
2. Cash Tray ID
The system only allows balanced trays to be assigned to drawers.
Press F2 performs a cash tray search. The search lists the trays, the drawers to which they are assigned, their assigned opening amount (starting bank) and whether or not the tray is balanced. If you want to remove a tray to balance it, choose another balanced tray from the list. (It’s important that you set up more than one tray in Cash Tray F/M. If you only create one tray, it will become "stuck" in the drawer you assign it to.)
F1 defaults to NONE.
3. Opening Amount
Enter the amount of money you are placing in this tray to start off the shift.
Enter Y to update and return to the Counter Sales menu. If you select N, the program returns you to the Opening Amount prompt.
Re-enter the program to assign or remove another tray.
