Till Takings

Summary

The Till Takings Screen is used to record the amount of payments received and amount of cash in the till, between the time/date specified.

The Till Takings Screen captures data entered and compares it against transactions entered into the system, prompting the user to enter a reason for any differences.

This workflow requires activation by MWI. To request this you can contact your RCM or our dedicated Support Team.

 

Configuration

The new till takings screen can be turned on/off upon request. If you would like this functionality enabled, please contact the helpdesk.


Note: The Till Takings screen is completely separate to the current Cashing Up Screen, therefore if the new till takings screen is enabled and till takings are recorded using the new screen, if you want to revert back to using the standard cashing up screen, you would need to re-enter the cashing up figures recorded in the Till Takings screen into the Cashing Up screen.

The following libraries require configuration:

Administration > Accounting > Payment Methods

A 'Reason Value' can be specified for each payment method. If the difference between amount entered and actual amount exceeds this amount, the user is required to select a difference reason.

In addition, select 'Doc Req' for any payment methods that require a user to attach documentation.

Administration > Accounting > Till Takings Difference Reasons

The list of reasons a user can select when specifying the difference between amount entered and actual amount.

Administration > Accounting > Cashing Up Payment Types

The list of payment methods users will be asked to enter an amount for.
