In this tab you can make settings for cash counting at different times.
Counting mode: Tap this drop-down menu to set the cash counting mode for this time.
Not allowed: Cash counting is not allowed at this time.
Optional: Cash counting is optional at this time.
Mandatory: Cash counting is mandatory at this time.
Counting type: Tap this drop-down menu to define the counting type for this time.
Denominations: When counting cash at this time, a denomination must be specified.
Amount: When counting cash at this time, only the amount must be specified.
Counting must be repeated in case of a difference: Enable this option if you want the cash to be recounted in case of a difference between the expected and the counted amount. This applies to your staff members who count their cash at the end of their shift or business day, as well as to you as the owner when you review the count discrepancy.
When this option is activated, the following two subordinate fields appear:
Number of repetitions: Set the maximum number of recounts in this field via [] and [
].
Threshold for mandatory recount: Use this field to set a threshold for the difference that requires a recount. When the defined maximum number of recounts is reached and the difference is still above the threshold, the difference is displayed to the responsible person as a cash shortage or overage.
Reuse denominations for recounting: Activate this option if you want the denominations you used in the previous count to be preselected in a new count.
Threshold for automatic cash reconciliation: Activate this option if you want to set a limit for a cash shortage or overage. If there is a difference in the cash count that does not exceed the threshold, you can close the business day centrally without having to perform a reconciliation transaction or subsequently record a withdrawal.
In this section you can define the selection mode for reasons, select or deselect predefined reasons for cash shortages/overages, and create and add custom reasons for cash shortages/overages via
