Assign Cash Drawer

Notes

General

Information

There are two kinds of cash drawer assignments:

❑ Several employees—employees with the same cash drawer assignment can

open the same cash drawers. This is done through Manager Procedures.

❑ Individual employee—assigned cash drawer opens for this employee only. This

is done by assigning a cash drawer to yourself using the [Assign Cash Drawer]

key.

Employees can have a cash drawer assigned (Drawer 1, Drawer 2, no drawer) in

the Employee form. If a UWS is not programmed to require a special cash drawer

assignment, it uses the cash drawer assignments in the Employee form. All

employees with the same assignment can open the same cash drawer on every

UWS in the revenue center. The [Assign Cash Drawer] key does not work.

If a UWS is programmed to require a cash drawer assignment, it ignores the

Employee form’s cash drawer assignment. Its cash drawer must be assigned to one

employee using the [Assign Cash Drawer] key. Once assigned, the employee is the

default cash drawer employee. The default employee can be changed by assigning

someone else using the same [Assign Cash Drawer] key. If the UWS has two

drawers, they can each have a different default employee. This method is described

in the steps on the previous page.

The revenue center may be programmed to allow the cash drawer to open only if the

balance due on the current transaction is zero.

Example

At the beginning of his shift, Bill, a bartender, assigns Cash Drawer #1 to himself.

When Jorge comes in to relieve Bill, Jorge uses [Assign Cash Drawer] to change the

assignment of Cash Drawer #1 from Bill to himself.
