Salon Maid Software "CASH DRAWER BALANCE" - OPTION, HOW DOES IT WORK?
If you need to know the amount in the register for the end of day balancing purpose, you would use the "Reports > Close Register Report" option.
The "Cash Drawer Balance" option is an option to help your clerks balance or count the money, credit card slips and checks in the cash register much faster in the end of the day or shift. This is a very neat feature utilized by a lot of big retailers, it is just a tool that helps clerks count a large amount of money faster and without mistakes. This means in this option nothing is given automatically, you need to count and input your results in all the fields, but instead of adding the money amounts, you count the number of bills and count the number of coins for each denomination. The clerk needs to physically count the money and enter the number of bills and the number of coins for each denomination of bills and coins in this screen. Also count or add the total for the credit card slips and enter that in this screen. And in the end count or add the total for the checks and enter that in this screen. After this the software totals up the number of bills and coins and all the rest to help them see if this total matches the total calculated by the "Reports > Close Register Report" option.
