Ensure the SCIS Clerk role includes Edit-level permission for the SCIS Closing Drawer and SCIS Opening Drawer transactions.
Note:Role permission should be in place by default. For more information about the SCIS Clerk role and related permissions, read SCIS Clerk.
-
Assign the SCIS Store Manager role to an employee, and set it as an authorized role In SCIS permissions. For more information, read SCIS Store Manager.
When Advanced Cash Drawer Management is set up, the sales associate opens a shift by entering the amount in the cash drawer and selecting a register. The sales associate is not allowed to enter a sales transaction without selecting a cash drawer and register.
Selecting a cash drawer and register creates an SCIS Shift record automatically in the NetSuite backend. The shift record shows opening and closing shift time, the register used, and includes links to the opening drawer and closing drawer transactions. For more information about Cash Drawer Management tracking, read SCIS Cash Drawer Management Workflows and Tracking.
Advanced Cash Drawer Management Calculator
When you use Advanced Cash Drawer Management, the SCIS user interface includes a Calculator. Administrators must configure SCIS Quick Cash Denomination records for the calculator to be most useful. For more information, read Modifying Cash Payment Denominations.
If cash denominations have not been configured, then the calculator does not show any cash values. The calculator is useful for sales associates when they enter an opening drawer or closing drawer transaction, and when entering a cash drawer adjustment.
