A till that cashes up to the cent

Each till runs one open session at a time. Receipt numbers come from the server, the drawer is worked out from what was recorded, and the session closes with a Z report frozen at close.

Who uses it

  • Cashier
  • Supervisor
  • Owner

What it does

  • One open session per till, numbered per till, rehydrated after a reload.
  • Receipt numbers issued by the server in blocks, so no two terminals share one.
  • Shelf prices with or without VAT; the standard VAT rate where the business is.
  • The expected drawer from every cash tender, change, refund, drop, paid in and paid out, counted in notes and coins.
  • X report (live) and Z report (frozen at close): totals by tender, VAT by rate, refunds, voids, drops, the drawer and its variance.

How it works

  1. Open the till.
  2. Sell.
  3. Count the drawer.
  4. Close with the Z report.

The controls that protect it

  • Refunds, voids, pay-outs and discounts above the ceiling need a supervisor or manager.
  • A session is closed by the cashier who opened it or a supervisor; the same count again is the same close.

What it does not do (yet)

  • The till and the online shop share one stock: an online order holds its stock from checkout, so the till cannot sell those units twice.
