The "Drawer Transactions" feature in a Point of Sale (POS) system plays a crucial role in efficiently managing cash-related activities within a business. This feature is designed to streamline the process of recording various cash transactions, both inflows, and outflows, from the cash drawer or cash box. It provides a systematic and organized way to keep track of expenses, bill payments, and supplier payments, contributing to the overall financial management of the business.

Example

The user is required to make a $10 payment to the supplier for the new items they have brought. To fulfill this payment, the user needs to withdraw the amount from the cash drawer. 

How it works

Users can create and define specific reasons for each transaction. Users can easily enter and record cash-related transactions into the POS system. This includes expenses incurred during the course of business operations, such as supplier payments. 

Other common reasons may include staff wages, utility bills, donations, or any other relevant expense or income category. The "Drawer Transactions" feature supports both pay-in and pay-out transactions. 

At the end of a shift, users can perform a shift-end operation. This process involves checking and tallying the available cash balance in the cash drawer. 

The POS system provides a summary of all the transactions that occurred during the shift, helping the user reconcile the cash drawer and identify any discrepancies.
