Warn when Cash Till Balance is Too High

Warn when Cash Till Balance is Too High

Retailer can notify you to do a Safe Drop if the cash total within the Till (cash drawer) is over a set amount. This can be helpful if you only want a certain amount of cash to be in the till drawer during the day.

Example:

You do not want more than $1000 in the Till at one time, any amount over should be removed – e.g. to a safe.

Once there is more than $1000 cash in the Till, a message will appear, after every sale to remind staff to reduce the cash total within the Till.

Setup Cash Warning

Below are the steps which explain how to set the cash warning and amount.

  1. From the main screen of Retailer, click on Setup -> Point of Sale -> Till Setup.
  2. In the ‘Warn Level’ column, type in the required amount for each Till ID.
    1. Most computers will have their own Till ID.
    2. You can find which Till ID each computer has by clicking on the Terminals tab at the top of the Point of Sale Setup screen.
  3. Tick the Cash Warning box for each Till that you want a message displayed when the cash total is above your chosen amount (Warn Level).
  4. Repeat for all required Till ID’s.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Click Close.
  7. Close out of Retailer and re-open Retailer on that computer.

POS Cash Warning

Once the Cash total is over the desired level, you will see a ‘Safe Drop Recommended’ message appear after each sale is processed. This message will repeat until either the cash total is reduced, or the Warn Level is increased.

Reduce Cash Total

To reduce the cash total within the Till, you can do a No Sale [F4].
