[MT-L] 6.0 Cashiering
Horner, Joan
We are beginning to set up and test the Cashiering function in 6.0. We were previously a Magic system and never used this routine. We went through our conversion a few months ago and wanted to let the dust settle before starting something new. We would like to hear the pros and cons from anyone in a Client Server or 6.0 site.
Thanks!

I've set this up in Magic and am also working with a 6.0 site to set it
up. I highly recommend using this routine.
You can set up individual drawers (windows) for each cashier in your main
billing office as well as in other collection areas such as registration.
It depends on your practices as to whether you restrict drawer access to
one user or a group of users. I prefer a physical cash drawer for each
user as well as a Meditech cash drawer, but some areas just aren't set up
that way. If not, develop a policy of how to handle drawer
overages/shortages.
By creating the non-charge procedure codes for cash, check and other
(credit cards), the drawer reports will do the totaling and balancing for
the cashier.
The drawer can be "suspended" during lunch and breaks to insure that no one
else can access it.
Misc GL transactions can be entered into the drawer along with account
payments, which is very convenient. However, negative amounts can't be
used for GL txns, so if there are times when a txn has to be reversed, you
have to build the misc GL txns twice, reversing the GL account numbers.
That's a draw-back, but with education, can be worked around.
Test leaving a drawer open during close of day to see what the impact will
be.
These are just a few things that I thought of immediately; if you have any
specific questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
