Cashier Reports

You can display a variety of on-screen and printed Cashier Reports containing information about the transactions handled for your cashier number from the last time your cashier was opened.

Note: When you close your cashier shift, OPERA automatically prints out all of the reports described here (with the exception of the AR Settlements Report).  See Close Cashier for details.

Access the Cashier Reports by selecting Cashiering > Cashier Shift Functions > Cashier Shift Reports. The Cashier Report Menu screen appears.

Note: The Cashiering > Bypass Cashier Login application parameter can be used to speed access to Cashiering functions for users having a cashier ID associated with their user ID. If the Cashiering > Bypass Cashier Login application parameter is set to Y, and if you have previously logged in to Cashiering and the Cashier is still open, the Cashier Login screen does not appear when subsequently accessing Cashiering functions. If Bypass Cashier Login is set to N (the default), you are prompted for a Cashier Login each time a Cashiering function is accessed.

Select the appropriate option button for viewing and/or printing the report you are interested in seeing. Select the OK button to display the report on the Cash Report screen in a grid format. Each of the on-screen cashier reports offers the following information.

Room. Room number associated with this transaction. If no room is assigned to the guest (e.g., the guest has not checked in and no room has been assigned to the reservation), no room number is shown.

Name. The name of the guest to whose bill this transaction was posted, or the name of the profile for a currency exchange.

Trn. Code. Transaction code for this transaction.

Description. Description of the transaction.

Text. Supplemental information provided for this transaction.

Use the buttons to view the details of any transaction or print the report to your local printer.

Details. Highlight a transaction and select Details (or double-click on a record in the grid) to view the Edit Transaction Details screen for that transaction. From this screen, you can edit only the Arrangement Code, Supplement, Reference, Check No., and Covers. Price, Quantity, and Amount can only be changed through the Billing screen and only on the same day that the posting was made (that is, before the property's business date is rolled over to the next day during Night Audit).

Print. Print the report to your local printer. The printed reports are described below.

Note: AR payments will be shown in the displays for the payment transaction code group (e.g., Cash group payments on the Cash Report, Credit Card group payments on the Credit Card Report, Check group payments on the Check Report). Direct Bill payments to AR will be shown on the AR Settlements Report. AR payments that have payment transaction codes that are configured in the Others group (e.g., Travel Agent Commissions or Bank Transfers might be in this category) will be shown in the Miscellaneous Payment.
