Cash/Reconciliation Policy field definitions

Prev Next

Initial Float
(required)

Initial Float is the amount of cash with which the register will start the day or shift. The value defined in the register policy represents the default value.

Auto Float When Needed

With an amount of $0 in the initial float field, you can check this box to prevent warnings to display on your register regarding float amounts.

Add Cash Alert Level

The Add Cash Level represents the cash amount that will trigger an alert if the current cash amount falls below this level.

Skim Alert Level

The cash amount that will trigger an alert when the current cash amount exceeds it. (If exceeded, the No Sale window opens with the transaction type set to Skim Cash at the start of any transaction if the cash amount is above the limit.)

Allow Over /
Short Amounts

By designating an Over or Short Amount, you can provide some variance during the reconciliation process. (Only a user with the POS / FrontOffice / Drawer / Reconcile / OverridePolicyThresholds permission can override this policy rule using the Manager Override form.)

Max Overage

Max Overage is the amount that the register can be over before notification is given to skim from the register.

Max Shortage

Max Shortage is the amount that the register can be under before notification is given to add money to the register.

Show System Totals

If you check the Show System Totals radio button, the system totals (expected tender amounts) will display on the final reconciliation wizard page.

Force Daily Reconcile

If you check the Force Daily Reconcile box, a daily reconciliation must be performed for the register. (Only a user with the POS / FrontOffice / Drawer / Reconcile / OverridePolicyThresholds permission can override this policy rule using the Manager Override form.)

Auto Reconcile

If you check the Auto Reconcile box, a scheduled job reconciles the previous day's transactions. This is used by locations that take no physical form of payment.
