This page describes the Drawers setting. This setting is located in the Point of Sales and Restaurant modules, but this description focuses on its use in the Restaurant module. Please refer here if you need a description focusing on its use in the Point of Sales module.

The Drawers setting should contain a list of the till drawers in your cash machines, tills and devices. Enter a separate record for each till drawer. You must do this if you are using work sessions, because you will need to specify both a Machine and a Drawer when opening and closing sessions and in cash transactions.

After entering a Drawer in this setting, you should configure it as follows:

Enter a POS Balance record for the Drawer, dated the day before you first use it and with a zero balance (the balance will be calculated to be zero automatically).
Connect the Drawer to a Local Machine (i.e. to a cash machine, till or device). You should do this by opening a work session for the Drawer/Local Machine combination. Create a POS Session record and specify the Drawer together with a Local Machine. The Event in the POS Session should be "Open". After saving this record, the Drawer will be assigned to each Bar Tab entered on the till or device (i.e. each Bar Tab will be recorded as having been entered on the till/device and the Drawer). If you do not connect a Drawer to a till or device, Bar Tabs entered on that till or device may be assigned to the wrong Drawer or may not be assigned to a Drawer at all and so will not be included in the cash up routines. The term "Till Drawer" in this documentation refers to a Drawer and Local Machine in combination.

If you will not be using work sessions as part of your usual routine, you should immediately create a second POS Session record for the Drawer/Local Machine combination in which the Event is "Close"

If a till or device has a live-sync connection to the server, you will need to create these POS Sessions working on the till or device itself.

Usually, you will need one Drawer for each Local Machine. If you need more than one Drawer per Machine, select the Allow Multiple Sessions per Machine option in the POS Settings setting.

To work with Drawers, first ensure you are in the Restaurant or Point of Sales modules. Then, if you are using Windows or macOS, click the [Settings] button in the Navigation Centre (or use the Ctrl-S/⌘-S keyboard shortcut). Double-click 'Drawers' in the resulting list: If you are using iOS or Android, select 'Settings' from the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon) and tap 'Drawers' in the 'Settings' list. The 'Drawers: Browse' window opens, listing the available Drawers. Select 'New' from the Create menu (Windows/macOS) or + menu (iOS/Android) to create a new record.

In the Drawer entry window, you should enter a code and a short descriptive text. The code may contain up to five characters, and you may freely mix letters and numbers. Click the [Save] button or tap √ to save changes.
