      Petty Cash - POS

      Petty cash transactions may need to be performed through POS if employees are allowed to remove money from the till to pay for items that cost too little to pay with a check or for situations where a check is not appropriate.


      How do you allow petty cash transactions?
      Cash Drawers must be setup to allow Petty Cash transactions before the Petty Cash button is enabled in the POS menu. 

      • To setup a cash drawer to allow Petty Cash transactions, go to Administration > System > Stores > Cash Drawers > Highlight a cash drawer > Click Update > Check the box Allow Petty Cash Transactions > Click OK to save.

      • Employees must also have permission to perform Petty Cash Transactions. Security permission requirements are listed below.


      What do you need to know?

      • Adding petty cash to a cash drawer creates a transaction that will post to the petty cash asset account. This is set up in the Petty Cash (Asset) field on the Accounting Defaults screen (Administration > Accounting > General Setup > Accounting Defaults > Accounts Receivable tab).

      • A petty cash withdrawal posts to the petty cash expense account. This is set up in the Petty Cash (Expense) field on the Accounting Defaults screen (Administration > Accounting > General Setup > Accounting Defaults > Accounts Receivable tab).

      • A recurring process should be implemented to reconcile the petty cash account against employee receipts.
