How should I deal with takings?
From Catalyst
Summary
All money received from customers at point of sale must be entered onto the system on the same day otherwise the takings report will not reflect it. Taking time to enter the correct payment method is also important otherwise this all costs the accounts department valuable time, well in excess of the time it takes to get it right!
More Information
Front Counter
- Print the "Daily Takings" Report from the "End of Day" menu.
- Count the cash in the till and put the float back.
- Remove the cheques and credit card receipts from the till.
- Do a Day End on your credit card machine. The total takings by card will be shown.
- Check the cash, cheques and credit card totals against the "Daily Takings Report".
- Mark any errors on the report and write an explanation alongside it.
- Pass all the paperwork and money to Accounts.
Accounts
- If items are taken by the wrong method, use Sales Ledger Adjustments to edit the transaction to show the correct method.
- If the amount is wrong, correcting it will depend on how the money was taken. If the money is for a vehicle deposit, the deposit must be refunded and posted again.
