Additional Information

Reconciling Banking:

When reconciling POS settlement summaries, calculate each POS system individually, using the following steps:

• Cash:
  • Count the cash in the drawer and then subtract the float.
  • This figure should exactly match the "Cash Amount in Drawer" figure on your settlement.
• Cheques and Invoices:
  • Total Cheques and Invoices.
  • This should match the total figures on the Settlement sheet.
• Integrated Eftpos:
  • The integrated Eftpos area breaks the online payments into the method of payment used by the customer. This provides you with totals of each card type used.

  • These card totals are sub-totalled and this sub-total reflects the amount of money that should be deposited into your bank account. The figures for Amex, Diners and other payment types are not included in this sub-total as these figures are generally deposited into your account severla days later.

Potential Errors:

There are many reason why the POS settlement figures will not align with the actual figures. Some of the more common reasons:

• Incorrectly recording a payment with another tender type.
• Completing a sale on one POS system, but physically placing the funds into a cash drawer attached to another POS system.
• Failing to record all transactions within the POS system.
• Errors in handling money and verifying totals. (both accidental or intentional)
