​In Metro ERP (Point of Sale module), the "Cash In/Out" feature helps manage cash transactions like adding or removing cash from the cash register during a POS session. It is useful for scenarios like cash deposits, withdrawals, or to track other financial activities that occur outside of regular sales transactions.

1) Navigate to Point of Sale from dashboard

2) Click on 'New Session' and wait for the completion of page to be loaded. 

3) The opening of a Point of Sale (POS) session in Metro ERp. Here's the breakdown:

1. POS Closed: The POS system is currently not active. To start a new session, the cashier must first open the POS.

2. Set Cash Opening: Before the session begins, the system asks for the Opening amount, which is the amount of cash the cashier will begin with in the register (currently set at S$ 0.00).

3. Notes Section: This is for any additional information the cashier wants to log about the opening, which could include any relevant observations.

4. Open Button: Once the opening amount is entered, clicking on "Open" will begin the POS session.

A closed POS session with the following details:

1. Session ID: The POS session is labeled POS/00014, which identifies this particular session.

2. Opened By: The session was opened by user.

3. Point of Sale: The name of the POS where the session took place is listed as Shop (pos user).

4. Opening and Closing Dates:

   • The session was opened on 09/09/2024 10:51:14
   • The session was closed on ​09/09/2024 11:01:11

5. Cash Control:

   • +Transactions: S$1,700.00 were recorded in sales transactions.
   • Expected: The expected amount of cash in the drawer is S$185.00.
   • Actual in Cash: The system shows S$0.00, indicating that no cash was recorded in the drawer at closing.
   • Difference: The system reports a -S$185.00 difference, showing a discrepancy between expected and actual cash amounts.

 

5) Now, click on 'Cash In/Out' and view the Take Money In/Out dialog.

On the POS interface, you will see a button labeled "Cash In/Out" or a similar option.

You can select this option to either:

• Cash In: Record cash added to the cash register, such as when starting a shift with an initial float.
• Cash Out: Record cash removed from the register, such as when you pay for small expenses (e.g., supplies).

After selecting, you need to input details like the reason for the cash movement and the amount being added or removed.

Cash Movements Recorded:

• The system logs these movements so you can keep track of any changes to the cash in the drawer.
• The cash in/out activities can be reviewed later in the session report or cash journal.

6) Now, click on 'Set Closing Cash' and view the Cash Control dialog.

7) Now, click on the confirm button and view the Actual in Cash.

• The "Cash In/Out" function allows you to manage cash flow during the session.
• All cash movements are logged and can be reconciled at the session’s end.
• If cash control is enabled, the system expects a final check of physical cash against the recorded transactions.

• This process helps maintain accuracy in cash handling, ensures transparency, and keeps accounting records updated.
  

8) You can temporarily close the session as well. To do this, double-click on the 'Close' button link at the top right corner of the page.

 

9) To continue back to the operations, click on 'Resume' or 'Continue Selling' on your Store dashboard.

10) In order to close the session for the day, click on 'Close' and post the entries.
