Cash Receipt

1Overview #

Licence. Cashier is a feature of Sales, bought on its own (a module of its own until October 2026 - licences that had it keep it). Without it the Cashier pages, its dashboard and its reports are not offered.

2Step by step #

1. Open the page. If more than one counter session is open to you, pick one; with a single session it is picked for you.
2. Tick the bills to settle, or scan their numbers. The list shows only what this session may still take.
3. Add any gift voucher, then the discount and sales return if the counter is allowed them.
4. Choose how the customer paid and key the cash or card amount. The change is worked out as you type.
5. Save (F5) . The receipt is numbered, the bills become settled, and the amount joins the day's collection.

3Field details #

• Bill value / To collect — the bill as it stands, and what is left after an approved special discount. Both come from the database, never from this screen.
• Special discount — raised earlier on the Special Discounts desk. An approved one is taken off here; one still waiting either blocks the bill or settles at full price, by Cashier setting 228.
• Gift voucher — checked as it is added: live, not already used, in date, and worth no more than the bills.
• Discount % — when a percentage is keyed the amount follows it; clear it to key an amount instead.
• Sales promotion — the slab amount for the quantity on the chosen bills. Cash sales only.
• Cash And Card — key the card part; the rest is cash. Cash And Credit — key the cash part; the rest goes on the customer's account.
• Privilege card — fills the customer in, and carries its own discount where the card has one.

4Rules and integrity #

• A receipt can only settle bills of its session's day, branch and voucher types — the types the counter was opened to track, plus its alternates.
• A bill sits on one live receipt . Settle it twice and the second is refused; cancel the first and it is offered again.
• The discount is held to your receipt authority — above it, the counter refuses; there is no approval for a receipt discount.
• Credit and Cash And Credit need bills of one customer account , and that account must be a customer. Cashier setting 230 then warns or blocks on the party's credit.
• Money going back to the customer (returns worth more than sales) can only be paid in cash.
• A receipt is never deleted — it is cancelled with a reason , and its bills become settleable again.
• Everything wrong is listed at once; nothing is written until all of it is fixed. The server repeats every check and re-derives every amount.

5Shortcut keys #

• F2 Find a receipt · F3 New · F5 Save · Esc close the dialog, or the page.

6Why is a list empty? #

• Sessions — only counter sessions that are open and not yet closed . A cashier sees their own; an administrator sees everybody's.
• Bills — only the session's own day and branch, only its tracked and alternate voucher types, and only ones not already on a live receipt. Cancelled bills never appear.
• Gift vouchers — Cashier setting 35 switches them on; without it the box is hidden.
