Reconciling a Networked Cash Drawer Till

This procedure allows you to reconcile the transactions associated to a cash drawer. It does not reconcile the register. You need to close the cash drawer first (at any time) and then reconcile the cash drawer (at any time). The cash drawer does not have to be closed before the End of Day Process. This is particularly applicable for 24/7 trading to minimize downtime.

  1. From the Till menu, select the Till Maintenance option.

  2. From the Till Maintenance menu, select the Reconcile Cash Drawer option.

    Till Maintenance - Reconcile Cash Drawer

    The ability to combine the Cash Drawer Close and Reconciliation Processes is configurable (for register accountability in a normal store environment). Therefore, if configured, the reconciliation process would begin directly after the Cash Drawer Close flow. In 24/7 trading the cash drawer and reconciliation processes is separate.

  3. Any register's back office can be used to reconcile networked cash drawers.

    The Networked Cash Drawer Reconciliation button is always available. If you attempt to access it and no cash drawers are available to reconcile, an error message "All closed cash drawers have been reconciled." is displayed.

  4. Select the cash drawer to reconcile from a list of cash drawers available to reconcile.

    Once a cash drawer has been reconciled, it is no longer displayed on the list of available cash drawers to reconcile.

    The cash drawers do not have to be reconciled in a specific order. The cash drawers' name, description and Session ID are listed.

  5. Select the Cash Drawer and press the OK button.

    The system prompts you with the question: "Do you want to reconcile the following cash drawer? <Insert Cash Drawer Device Name>".

    Confirm Cash Drawer Reconciliation

    Select Yes on this prompt, to continue.

  6. The existing Xstore reconcile flow is followed for the limited tenders accepted on the networked cash drawer. Any transaction from any register completed on the cash drawer and has the selected networked cash drawer's ID saved with the transaction should be reconciled at this time.

    The cash drawer has been reconciled and the user is returned to the Xstore Home screen.
