Balancing a Till

Regardless of the method used above the balance process for a till remains mostly the same. The actual totals of money and tenders can be entered immediately after closing a till. The loading of the book values for the till requires the following:

• for Local tills there is no requirement and the Book button is activated automatically for you on loading up the Till Banking screen.

• for shared tills in a non distributed system, the book button is also available immediately.

• For shared tills in a distributed environment at head office branch:

  • each machine using the till must send its batch.

  • these batches must be merged into the master batch.

• For shared tills at a remote branch each machine using the till must send its batch. This allows the system to collate the documents in the branch archive files.

When the book figures are loaded the unders/overs are shown and the documents relating to these book figures can be seen using the zoom in facility.
