Lock Box Register is a till for a front desk or counter whose cash goes straight into a numbered lock box. The box holds the cash; the till keeps the record of every payment and every movement of cash into and out of the box. From that record it works out what should be in the box, and at the end of the day you count the box and close the session.
Open it
Open Lock Box Register from the applications menu in the bar at the top, or from Core home. You sign in at the front door: the till has no password of its own. In the sandbox the demo login opens the till as a cashier, and the Demo menu in the bar lets you see it as another role.
What you can do depends on your access level
Your access level shows under your name at the foot of the menu, with your selling group. Screens it does not include are not shown.
| Access level | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Cashier | Open a session, take payments, issue receipts, start voids and refunds, record cash movements, take X reads and count the box. Transactions shows today's records |
| Supervisor | As Cashier, plus approve voids, refunds, pay-outs, bank drops, large discounts and the Z read; every day's transactions; reports, exports and the audit trail |
| Administrator | As Supervisor, plus Configuration: settings, the approval matrix, products, categories, accounting codes, departments and selling groups |
Access levels are granted at the front door. Your selling group, set by an administrator, decides which items you can sell.
The menu
- Selling: Till, where you take payments, and Transactions, every receipt, void and refund.
