Setting Up Cash Drawers

Click SETUP on the Main Menu screen. On the Receivables Setup screen that appears, select the Offices and Accounts tab and then click CASH DRAWERS. The Maintain Cash Drawers screen opens with all available cash drawers displayed in a table.

Click

on the toolbar. The Add Cash Drawer Wizard is initiated.

Enter a unique drawer number and type a description for the cash drawer (for example, “Central Office #1”).

Enter the next receipt number (number of the next receipt to issue from this drawer), and select the appropriate receivables office to which the drawer should be associated.

This is your agency-defined list of receivable offices, which you maintain in the Setup area of the program. See "Setting Up Offices"

Select the appropriate cash on hand account. This account is pulled from General Ledger and should already be set up. If not, please verify with your accounting department which cash on hand account is needed.

Click START and then click FINISH to save and set up the cash drawer. The Maintain Cash Drawers screen appears again with the new, "active" cash drawer displayed in the table.

Hint: If a record is active, it is available for you to work with elsewhere in the program. Uncheck this checkbox for records you no longer wish to use.
