Opening and Closing Drawer
SuiteCommerce InStore (SCIS) uses custom transaction types and custom records to track opening drawer and closing drawer transactions. Custom transaction types track the movement of cash from the store safe account into a cash drawer and from the cash drawer back to the safe. A store safe account custom record is created for each point-of-sale location. The cash drawer difference account tracks any discrepancy found in the process of reconciling the amount entered by a sales associate during the closing drawer transaction.
