INTRODUCTION

This guide

Plugin modules

Plugin installation


This plugin guide This document describes the features implemented by TCPOS in the Treasury Management MS (Multi-shop) plugin.

This plugin adds the capability of managing the cash flow originated by a shop in terms of safe management, bank deposits and monitoring activities on the daily drawer and shops counts.

The plugin is designed to be used in two different environments:

the shop: where accounting closures are managed

the headquarter: where financial flows are monitored

Setting a system parameter determines the mode in which these activities are carried out.

Important

The multi-shop version enables Admin and tills to work offline (see the related chapter below), without an active connection to a central db.

This feature is achieved by the Concentrator service with the Sync Concentrator plugin (an independent separate component not strictly related to the Treasury Management MS plugin).

From version 4.5.x.x or upper the Concentrator service with the Sync Concentrator plugin is optional, but the Admin plugins operations must be performed in online mode, otherwise the data cannot be reached (see chapter Mandatory rules).

In order to turn off the concentrator, simply deactivate the related command in the .ini file (see example aside

Concentrator Url=http://ConcentratorMachine:9191/TCPOSConcentrator/ Database=treasurydb

but refer to the wiki.tcpos article for the correct definition.

TCPOS Concentrator

The offline management Most of the features described in detail in this document can work even when the Admin and the cash registers are in offline mode.

The Treasury Management has been extended with a new service that acts as repository for the offline information sent and requested by the tills and the Admin; this component was named TCPOS Concentrator.

When the central database is not reachable, this service provides the needed information and is used to store the data generated by the Treasury Management (e.g. related to safe movements, bank deposits, etc.). Each shop will have its own Offline Repository that must be installed on the local network of the shop.

This ‘Repository’ is a Windows Service to be installed on one or more machines on the local network of each shop.

When the central database is not reachable, the tills and the Admins communicate to this service and temporarily store the information needed by the Treasury Management.

If there is more than one instance of this service installed on the local network, the various instances synchronize one another automatically and when the central DB is reachable again, the data not yet stored will be sent to the central DB.

No special hardware or dedicated machine is required, but the computer – server or workstation – where the service runs should be always active.


Mandatory rules For a correct use of of the plugin, these rules must be followed.

1. The first time you start TCPOS Admin and TCPOS FrontEnd, the central db must be online; this is necessary to initialize the data structures used by the plugin, otherwise the plugin does not start.

ServerService active

2. It is required to configure with a primary closing type "24 Hours" the shops where the management activities are performed.

Admin > Outlets > Main definition > Primary closing type

3. If you use Oracle, the server service must be mandatory configured for accessing the DB using the Oracle ODP.NET data provider and not the Microsoft ADO.NET data provider, because it is no longer supported by the .NET 4.0 Framework.

please check the Server Service/DbAliases.ini settings

4. In the shop, Admin works with the SHOP parameter active and properly assigned.

Tcpos.Admin.ini

Only if the plugin works in offline mode

5. For versions < 4.5.x.x, the Concentrator service with the Sync Concentrator plugin must be installed For versions >= 4.5.x.x the Concentrator service with the Sync Concentrator plugin is optional, but the Admin plugins operations must be performed in online mode, otherwise the data cannot be reached.

Treasury Management Multi Shop Plugin

Note

The FrontEnd plugin does not require any specific configuration activity.


Part 1: THE PLUGIN

Aim of the plugin

Features of the plugin

Workability with the plugin


Aim of the plugin The TCPOS Treasury Management plugin allows the shop managers and the company Headquarters to manage and monitor the cash flow originated by the sales in the shops in which TCPOS is installed.

The safe management A single safe can be assigned to a single or multiples shops.

At the end of the day the cash flow originated by the sales in the shops is store in the assigned safe.

The shop managers are able to manage the money contained in the safe of their shops and to perform bank deposits

Confirmation messages about bank deposits can be checked and matched by Headquarters.

Note

The shop manager will use Admin to manage the cash flow for its shop. For this reason, in the shop, it is required to have an Admin that is associated to each shop (through the SHOP - previously SHOPASSOCIATION - parameter inside the TCPOS.Admin.ini file).

In order to use this plugin, the operators must mandatory execute Initial and Final Drawer Counts for their shift; the drawer counts can be made on Admin or on the tills, equally.

The Bank deposit mode and the Working Mode The frequency with which deposits are made in the bank, determines the mode of use of the plugin (Working Mode).

The plugin can be used in different Working Modes depending on the settings of the “Bank deposit mode” system parameter aside.

The selected method affects the management of the two safe funds: Safe fund and Cash fund.

Please read the related chapters and select the most suitable mode for the customer.

Features of the plugin Here you can find a detailed description of the standard functionalities and features implemented by the plugin.

These features are performed by:

The Operator The Shop manager The Headquarter

Initial drawer count (optionally)

Final drawer count (optionally)

Shift and till closing (optionally)

Shift open with initial drawer count (mandatory if not performed by

the till operator)

1. Treasury management in the shop

1.1 Initial and Final Drawer counts This feature enables the operators (by FrontEnd) or the shop manager (by Admin) to perform the drawer counts. The plugin separates the initial drawer counts from the final drawer counts.

1.2 Daily safe turnover (formerly named Shop count) Used by the shop manager after the booking-day has been closed (all primary and secondary shifts have been closed for a specific bookkeeping date). This feature provides the shop manager - for all the shops linked to the safe declared in the specific parameters – with an overview of the amounts declared by the operators in their drawer counts for each payment type; the manager has the possibility to correct these amounts and must validate this declaration.

After confirmation, the manager will see totals originated by the sales and the difference with the amounts declared by the operators.

When working in Mode 1 this is mandatory, otherwise the bank deposits cannot be executed.

The confirmation generates a report.


1.3 Safe Management Used by the shop manager for handing the money contained in the safe of each shop. The program manages two separate funds: Cash Fund (where the manager keeps the money given to the operators at the beginning of their shifts) and Safe Fund (in Mode 1,2 is used to buy material and other small expenses the shop needs, in Mode 3 used to perform the bank deposits and withdrawals). The Safe Fund includes an automatic management of the petty cash.

1.4 Bank Deposits Used by the shop manager to prepare the clearings for the banks.

The plugin can be configured so that it executes the bank deposit in two ways:

Daily, by using the data retrieved from the Daily safe turnover (Shops count). In this case, the program produces a separate clearing for each payment type. It is possible to associate a bank account to each payment type for each safe. The shop manager has the possibility to deposit in the bank all the amounts originated by the sales, or move a part of the cash amount from/to the safe of the shop.

Periodically, by using data retrieved from a (user-selected) list of drawer counts. In this case, the operators insert the money related to their drawer counts into a sealed envelope and the shop manager has the responsibility to select periodically a number of envelopes, which will be deposited into a single bank account (configured in the shop data).


Periodically. by using the data retrieved from the safe In this case, the shop manager goes to the till to perform Cash removals or Cash deposit that updates immediately the Safe Fund. In this mask, the “Available amount in safe” value originates from the in-real-time Safe Fund balance.

1.5 Daily safe count Used by the shop manager to perform a safe inventory.

Working mode 1

Mandatory after the bank deposit and before the safe daily safe turnover of the day after.

Working mode 2 or 3

When set as mandatory, it must be performed after the daily safe turnover; it may not be executed if the daily safe count has not been performed first.


2. Treasury management at the Headquarter

2.1 Safe Calendars (Shop calendar) This function displays the opening and closing dates for each shop associated to the safe.

2.2 Bank Confirmations Used by the headquarters to manage the confirmation messages of the banks to the deposits made using the Bank Deposits feature.

This module enables the operator to search for a deposit (by safe, date or deposit number) and to confirm the amount of the deposit, or to force a different amount (this action is logged, of course).

2.3 Validate shop data (Cash controller) Important: this feature is available only when the Bank Deposits are performed daily (Working Mode 1)

Used by the headquarters to have an overview of all the amounts (sales, daily shops count, bank deposits, bank confirmation) involved for each shop linked to the selected safe and for each bookkeeping date. The operator in the headquarters has the responsibility to confirm the amounts of each booking date. This is the final step in the cash flow management for each shop/safe when working in Mode 1.


Workability with the plugin

The different Working Modes

As already mentioned in previous chapters, the frequency with which deposits are made in the bank, determines the mode of use of the plugin (Working Mode).

The plugin can be used in different Working Modes depending on the settings of the “Bank deposit mode” system parameter aside.

The selected method affects the management of the two safe funds: Safe fund and Cash fund.

Please read the related chapters and select the most suitable mode for the customer.

Setting of the “Bank deposit mode” system parameter

Working Mode 1

“Daily deposit with shop count amounts”

Working Mode 2

“Periodic deposits with drawer count amounts”

Working Mode 3

“Periodic deposits with safe currencies amounts”

Daily deposit mandatory

Daily Safe Turnover amounts as source

No frequency constraints

Drawer count amounts as source

No frequency or amounts constraints

Safe Fund content as source


Working Mode 1 - Daily deposits with Daily safe turnover (Shop count) amounts

Characteristics The values resulting from the Daily safe turnover (Shops count) are the source to determine the amount available for the bank deposit.

The amount transferrable to the bank is the Drawer content from which the Initial drawer count amount is deducted. This way, after closing the booking date, in the Drawer content only the amount of the initial drawer count of the next working day is available.

In this Working mode no Cash Fund or Safe Fund are considered for the computation of the amount available for the Bank deposit.

Mandatory workflow (these functionalities are mandatory):

In simple realities without Headquarters, these operations can be performed by the shop manager, always following the operational sequence below.

Operators - daily

1) Initial drawer count

2) Final drawer count

Shop Manager - daily

1) Shop and shift closing

2) Daily safe turnover (Shop count)

3) Bank deposit

4) Daily safe count

Headquarter Manager - periodically

1) Bank confirmation

2) Validate shop data (Cash controller)

At till – At the end of his shift, the operator executes the final drawer count and stores the money in the related “drawer count envelope” (the insertion of the envelope number is mandatory) and consign these envelopes to the shop manager. The drawer count can be executed also using the Admin.

In the shop - At the end of the day, the shop manager first checks all the cash originated by operators, then validates the closed day, otherwise he cannot execute the bank deposit.

The shop manager must perform the Bank Deposit once a day. The money to be deposited corresponds to the values displayed in the Daily safe turnover (Shops count) – calculated on the operator drawer counts and the related sales - and the values are divided by payment type. The amount transferrable to the bank is the sum of the Final drawer counts from which the Initial drawer count amount is deducted.

In this case, the program produces a separate clearing for each payment type. It is possible to associate a bank account to each payment type for each safe. The shop manager has the possibility to deposit in the bank all the amounts originated by the sales or move a part of the cash amount from/to the safe of the shop.

In the head quarter - The supervisor first confirms the bank deposits and eventually he confirms the amounts of each booking date by the Validate shop data.


Mandatory Settings overview The “Daily safe turnover (Shop count) editable” is deactivated because the amount to be transferred comes from the drawer counts and cannot be modified by the shop manager.

Working Mode 2 - Periodic deposit with drawer count amounts

Characteristics Each operator executes the final drawer count and puts the related money inside an envelope.

The amount transferrable to the bank is the selected drawer count envelope content.

This way, after closing the booking date, in the Drawer content only the amount of the initial drawer count of the next working day is available.

In this Working mode no Cash Fund or Safe Fund are considered for the computation of the amount available for the Bank deposit.


In simple realities without Headquarters, these operations can be performed by the shop manager, always following the operational sequence below.

Operators - daily





2) Daily safe count

Shop Manager - periodically

3) Bank deposit



At till – At the end of his shift, the operator executes the final drawer count and inserts the money related to his drawer count into a sealed envelope, then he consign the envelope to the shop manager.

In the shop - the shop manager has the responsibility to select periodically – from a list of drawer counts - a number of envelopes to be deposited in a single bank account (configured in the safe data). The shop manager is not required to perform Bank Deposits once a day. Instead, the money of each single drawer count is inserted in an envelope and put in the safe. Periodically, the shop manager must select the list of envelopes to be deposited in the bank. If you use this method, the “Request drawer count envelope number” flag must be active.

In the head quarter - The supervisor confirms the bank deposits

Working Mode 3A - Periodic deposits with safe currencies amount (manual mode)

Characteristics Working in this mode, the involved Safe fund (and optionally also the Cash fund) are constantly updated by the program through the automatic generation of related movements.


In this working mode, the features cash removal/cash deposit and Daily safe turnover are optional, in the scheme below they are listed with the correct operational sequence, in case you decide to include them in your workflow.

Besides, in simple realities without Headquarters, these operations can be performed by the shop manager, always following the operational sequence below.

Operators - daily




1) optional - Cash removal/Cash deposit

2) optional - Daily safe turnover (Shop count)

Shop Manager - periodically

3) Bank deposit




At till - In this working mode the manager goes to the cashier to withdraw the money from the drawer in order to store it into the Safe fund or vice versa. During the shift, these Cash removal or Cash deposit operations are carried out managing the Safe fund automatically, whose balance can then be periodically deposited in bank.

At the end of his shift, the operator executes the final drawer count only for personal control (not relevant for the bank deposit).

In the shop – during the Bank deposit, the responsible can decide to transfer all or part of the Safe fund balance to the bank for each currency.

In the head quarter - the supervisor confirms the bank deposits

Workability – Example of a working day result During the shifts, the money is contained in the drawers, so the cash fund total is, in theory, 0 (for this reason the first time you use Treasury plugin you should use the balancing movements – point 3.1.

After the closing of the shifts, the drawers are empty and the total is completely transferred in Cash fund.

In this Working Mode, the Bank deposit procedure is responsible for the movement of the Safe fund to the bank.

Working Mode 3B – Periodic deposits with safe currencies amounts (Daily safe turnover mode)

Characteristics Working in this mode, the Cash fund is never valorized (since the related flag is deactivated, no movements that manage this balance are generated); contrarily the Safe fund is constantly updated by the program through the automatic generation of related movements.


In this working mode, the features cash removal/cash deposit and Daily safe turnover are optional, in the scheme below they are listed with the correct operational sequence, in case you decide to include them in your workflow.

Besides, in simple realities without Headquarters, these operations can be performed by the shop manager, always following the operational sequence below.

Operators - daily




1) Cash removal/Cash deposit (optional)


3) Bank deposit




At tills - the operator executes the final drawer count and – if defined in the related parameter - stores the money in the related “drawer count envelope” (the insertion of the envelope number is optional).

In the shop - in the evening, the manager withdraws the drawer amount and leaves only the initial found amount for the next day, then the drawer is deposited in the safe. The withdrawn amount is stored in the fund: whenever the Daily safe turnover (Shop count) is executed, it generates the movement that moves the money from the drawer to the Safe fund, whose balance can be deposited in the bank.

At the end of the working day, he can transfer all or a part of the Safe fund balance to the bank through the Bank deposit.

The program also considers if - during the shift –Cash removal or Cash deposit operations (executed with the function keys 60 or 61 encoded with the specific flag active) are carried out managing the Safe fund.

In the head quarter - the supervisor confirms the bank deposits.

Workability – Example of a working day result In this Working Mode, the Cash fund is not automatically handled with drawer counts (flag disabled) and it is not considered for bank deposits.

The program does not consider the drawer count, which is available for the day after (parametrizable flag).

The available amount for bank transfer is automatically moved in the Safe fund when the program executes the Daily Safe turnover.

3.3 “System parameters” configuration

When the Treasury Management MS plugin is active, the program displays a new tab in the System Parameters page.

This tab contains the configuration parameters for the plugin.

Important note

The bank deposit mode should be determined just after installing the plugin for the first time and should never be modified. This is because the three bank deposit modes made available with the plugin are mutually exclusive and populate different tables in the database. Thus, by switching between the different modes, inconsistencies in the data may be originated.

ADMIN > System > System parameters > tab Treasury management

Image: Example for the Mode 1

Working Mode 1

Working Mode 2

Working Mode 3

Fields definition

Field Description

Request drawer count envelope number It Is mandatory to activate it in

Working Mode 2.

When this flag is active, the system will ask for an envelope number when executing the Final Drawer Counts.

This number is mandatory and represents the identifier of the envelope where the operator inserted the money associated to the drawer count.

The envelope number can be read using a barcode reader on both Admin and FrontEnd.


Use separate envelopes for notes and coins

If active, during the Final drawer count, the program asks to insert a separate number for the envelope for coins in order to execute two separate bank deposits.

Daily safe turnover (Shop count) editable

When this flag is active, the shop manager will be able to change the values displayed in the details grid of the Daily safe turnover (Shops count).

When not active, the amounts cannot be modified and the shop manager can only check and validate the data.

Init cash fund

In Working Mode 3 it is not used (its setting is irrelevant).

If active, executes the initialization of the Safe fund

If active, by pressing the specific button “Initialize safe”, the program executes the initialization

ADMIN > Treasury > Safes > Initialize safe button

and valorizes also the Cash fund with the value inserted in the field “Default value of cash fund”

ADMIN > Treasury > Safes > Default value of cash fund

Bank deposit mode

This option button determines the way the bank deposits work and its value deeply affects the layout of the forms associated to Bank Deposits and Bank Confirmations.

The possible values are:

Mode1: Daily deposits with Daily safe turnover (shops count) amounts When selected, the shop manager must perform the Bank Deposit once a day. The money to be deposited corresponds to the values displayed in the Daily safe turnover (Shops count) and the values


are divided by payment type.

Mode 2: Periodic deposits with drawer count amounts When selected, the shop manager is not required to perform Bank Deposits once a day. Instead, the money of each single drawer count is inserted in an envelope and put in the safe. Periodically, the shop manager must select the list of envelopes to be deposited in the bank. When using this mode, the “Request drawer count envelope number” flag must be active.

Mode 3: Periodic deposits with safe currencies amounts When selected, the manager goes to the cashier to withdraw the money from the drawer and then he stores it into the safe or vice versa. These operations are carried out by Cash removal and Cash deposits operations managing the Safe fund, whose balance can then be periodically deposited in bank.

Safe movement types

Specify the Safe count causal used for the automatic creation of the following safe movement

Example

Causal used for the movements generated automatically (usage with the Mode 3A 3B)

Withdrawal from cash – this causal is used for the automatic creation of the Initial drawer count safe movement. The amount is withdrawn from the Cash fund (negative amount) and after stored in the cash drawer.

ADMIN > Treasury > Causals for safe movements

Image1: example of the causal for the Withdrawal from drawer

Deposit from cash – this causal is used for the automatic creation of the Final drawer count safe movement. The amount is withdrawn from the cash drawer and deposited in the Cash fund (positive amount)


Image2: example of the causal for the Deposit from drawer

Causals used for movements generated using the specific function keys (usage with the Mode 3A)

Withdrawal from drawer – this causal is used for the automatic creation of the Cash deposit safe movement. Only if the related parameter is active, the causal is linked to the “60 Withdrawal” function key and, when executed, the amount is withdrawn from the Safe fund (negative amount) and then stored in the till drawer.


Image3: example of the causal for the Withdrawal from cash

Deposit from drawer – this causal is used for the automatic creation of the Cash removal safe movement.



Only if the related parameter is active, the causal is linked to the “60 Deposit” function key and, when executed, the amount is withdrawn from the till drawer and stored in the Safe Fund (positive amount).

Image4: example of the causal for the Deposit from cash

Causals for automatic movement generated when performing the Daily safe turnover (Shop count) (usage with the Mode 3B)

Deposit from shop count – this causal is used for the automatic creation of the Daily safe turnover (Shop count) safe movement. The amount is withdrawn from the till drawer and deposited in the Safe fund (positive amount)


Image5: example of the causal for the Deposit from shop count

Safe count items

Insert all the amounts of the local and foreign currency – from the maximum note to the smallest coin denominations – that can be managed within the safe.

Currency – currency code, for example EUR, CHF, etc.

Description –Description of the denomination; it can be one of the standard denomination for the related currency (e.g. 20 EUR) or an additional denomination (e.g. pack of 50 x 0.20 EUR)

Amount – Countervalue for the current line in the specified currency.

ADMIN > Treasury > Banks

3.5 Bank Accounts This page contains the list of bank accounts where the operator sends the Bank deposits, one for each safe and each payment type.

For each bank account, it is possible to specify the bank agency information and the account details, in order to execute money transfers.

They are used to execute the Bank Deposits.

ADMIN > Treasury > Bank accounts


3.6 Safes The plugin adds a safe configuration page used to initialize and configure the safes.

The appearance changes depending on the bank deposit mode parameter settings: the upper part of the mask remains the same regardless of the setting of this parameter; on the other hand, the lower part of the mask changes according to its settings.

ADMIN > Treasury > Safes

Description of the common fields for all the three Working Modes Below, you will find the meaning of the fields displayed on the top of this page:

Field Description

Daily safe count (Safe count) mandatory

If selected, it is required to execute the Daily Safe Count after making the bank deposit, for mode 1. For the other modes, it is required to execute the daily safe count before executing the Daily Safe Turnover for the next day. When active, all the fields of the related mask are available and manageable.

Notes and coins details for safe count

When selected, the user has the possibility to detail how the cash and safe amount are composed (e.g. using the Safe management functionality).

When not selected, the user specifies only the total amount of the Cash fund and Safe funds (without details).


Image: when the “Notes and coins details for safe count” is checked, the sistem will show a detail grid for counting the money for the safe count.

Image: when the “Notes and coins details for safe count” is not checked, only the total amount of the safe fund is requested.

Default value of cash fund

Value used to initialize the Cash fund (through the “Initialize safe” button), only if also the “Init cash fund” flag is active.

It is automatically disabled with the automatic safe movements creation (“Perform automatic safe movements from drawer counts” field=active) when the correct value will be calculated every time.

ADMIN > System > System parameters > tab Treasury management > field “Init cash fund”

Default value of safe fund

Value used for initializing the Cash fund (by means of the “Initialize safe” button), only if also the “Init cash fund” flag is active. It is automatically disabled using the automatic safe movements creation (“Perform automatic safe movements from drawer counts” field=active) when the correct value will be calculated every time.

Percentage of A warning message is displayed when executing a withdrawal movement from the Safe Fund if the


safe fund from warning message

remaining amount is below the specified percentage of the initial Safe value.

Display differences in shops count (Daily safe turnover)

If active, the two columns “Difference” and “Sold” are displayed after the validation of the Daily safe turnover (Shop count)

Perform automatic safe movements from drawer counts

If active – after the drawer counts storage by pressing the “Save” button – the related movement will be automatically created.

These movements are visible in the Safe count report. ADMIN > Reports > Safe counts

The program displays the following fields or grids depending on the selected “Bank deposit mode”.

Description of the specific fields available in the Mode 1

Field Description

Bordereau number mandatory

If selected, the bordereau number for each payment type must always be specified when executing a bank deposit.


Bank accounts definition

For each payment type, it is possible to specify a bank account used to execute the Bank deposit.

It is possible to specify the same bank account for multiple payments type and for different safes. If this field is left blank, the bank deposit will be executed on a dummy account.

Description of the specific fields available in the Mode 2

Field Description

Bank account It contains the bank account on which periodic bank deposits are booked.


Description of the specific fields available in the Mode 3 Working Mode 3A

Working Mode 3B

Field Description

Bordereau number mandatory

If selected, the bordereau number for each payment type must always be specified when executing a Bank deposit.


Bordereau automatic numbering

If active, it creates a sequential number used to fill in automatic the field “Bordereau” in the mask of the Bank deposit.

Bank currencies definition

For each available currency, it is possible to specify a bank account used to execute the Bank deposits. It is possible to specify the same bank account for multiple payments type and for different safes. If this field is left blank, the bank deposit will be executed on a dummy account.

The inserted account is visible in the “Bank deposit” printed coupon.


Transfer to safe fund

If this flag is active, the program automatically generates a positive movement in the safe, corresponding to the amount collected through the Daily Safe Turnover (used only in Working Mode 3B).

Include till fund If this flag is active, and also the “Transfer to Safe Found” flag is active, when generating the positive movement in the safe given by the Daily Safe Turnover. The program considers the amount retrieved by sales, and also the “Initial drawer count” amount.

ADMIN > Treasury > Safes > Initialize safe button This feature can be executed only once by an operator having the required grants. It is used to insert a Safe Count Inventory for the currently selected safe for day D-1 using the amount specified in the field “Default value of safe fund” described above.

If is used for putting the initial amounts inside the safe. Please read the following workflow for more information.

Workability – The “Initialize safe” button

1. By pressing the “Initialize safe” button, Admin generates a safe movement:

with the accounting date of the previous day with Cash fund amount always 0.0 with Safe fund amount like the amount entered in the field.

Message QUESTION Do you want to initialize the safe? This operation can be executed only once. Yes, No Message INFORMATION Safe and cash funds were initialized.

2. This movement is visible in the Safe count report and can be identified by the causal “Daily safe count”.


3.7 Causals for safe movements This page contains the list of causals that can be used when executing a deposit or withdrawal on the Cash Fund or Safe Fund.

They are used to execute functionalities that generate the safe movements.


Depending on the selected working mode, it could be necessary to set some default causals in the System Parameters. Please refer to the “System parameter definition” chapter for the meaning of the fields.



3.8 Withdrawals and deposits The Treasury management plugin adds one flag to the standard mask. This flag is used for identifying the withdrawals and deposits that interact with the safe.

A withdrawal from the cash drawer of the till, having the safe as counterpart generates a deposit to the safe.

A deposit to the cash drawer of the till, having the safe as counterpart generates a withdrawal from the safe.

ADMIN > Bookkeeping > Withdrawals/Deposits

Fields description

Field Description

Use safe as counterpart

If active, when the deposit/withdrawal is executed in till, a safe movement is automatically generated, identifiable by the causal defined in the field aside.

Usually this flag is used on some withdrawals/deposits when working in Mode 3A

ADMIN > Treasury > Causals for safe movements > Withdrawal from cash

ADMIN > Treasury > Causals for safe movements> Deposit from cash


3.9 Outlets

ADMIN > Outlets > Outlets > tab Main definitions For a correct working of the plugin, you need to set the closing parameters as follows.

This plugin works only if the Primary closing type is set at 24 Hours. The Secondary closing type is not relevant.

ADMIN > Outlets > Outlets > tab “Drawer counts and services” The parameters on this tab are used for defining the desired management of the drawer.

In this document, only the fields added by the plugin are described. The other fields can be found in the standard User manual.

There are two ways to proceed: if both the “Initial drawer count mandatory” and the “Final drawer count mandatory” flags are active, the till operator is forced to insert the drawer count when he starts and when he ends his shift.

If these two flags are deactivated, the shop manager can insert both the initial and the final drawer counts using the Admin functionality.


Fields description The plugin adds the following fields to the standard mask:

Field Description

Drawer count details

If active, it forces the Admin user to insert all the details of the drawer content, otherwise he is required to insert only the totals.

ADMIN > Tasks > Initial drawer counts/Final drawer counts

Image: flag active

Image: flag deactivated

Cheques bank information

Only in Working Mode 1,2

When active, in the Drawer Counts, Cheques section, it is possible to add a free text, e.g. the cheque number.

Display voucher details

This flag changes the insert mode of the voucher amount during the Final drawer count.

If active, the program asks the operator to insert in detailed mode (the quantity for each denomination) the content of the voucher amount.


If deactivated, the program asks the operator to insert only the voucher total amount.

Check initial drawer count

If active, the program checks if the declared amount of the Initial drawer count the operator is inserting matches with the declared amount of the last inserted Final drawer count of the previous shift.

When using this option, the system assumes that the money left in the drawer at the end of a shift is the same that the operator will find in the drawer at the beginning of the next shift; thus, any different has to be notified to the user.

Please read the chapter “Drawer counts” for further information about how to use it.

ADMIN > Outlets > Outlets > tab “Safe management” The plugin adds this configuration tab, which is used to link the safe to the currently selected shop.

Mode 1, 2, 3

Fields description

Field Description

Safe The combo box allows selecting the safe associated to the current shop.

In Treasury Management Multi Shop, multiple shops can be connected to the same safe.

Mandatory envelope number for safe movements on cash withdrawals/ cash deposits mandatory

When active, the FrontEnd will request the user to specify an envelope number when executing withdrawals or deposits that have the safe as counterpart.

The system assumes that the amount taken/put in the cash drawer is associated to a sealed envelope having the specified number.


3.10 Tills No specific settings are involved in the tills base data (the link is defined between the safe and the shop).

To perform these functionalities, the shop manager must use an Admin instance associated to the shop (through the SHOP parameter in the TCPOS.Admin.ini file) and the P2P must be active and configured for executing the drawer counts directly on Admin.

The involved menu options are these aside: ADMIN > Tasks > Initial Drawer Count

ADMIN > Tasks > Final Drawer count

The SHOP parameter has not been specified (the Admin shop: ### label is not displayed in the status bar).

The P2P MUST BE active


4.1 Drawer counts The drawer counts are the actions of counting the money found inside the drawer of each till.

These actions can be configured as mandatory or optional and can be executed both on the till or using the Admin application; the place where the drawer count is executed (till or Admin) will be saved in the database.

The drawer counts are usually executed at the beginning and at the end of each shift. The drawer counts can be executed also when the central database is not reachable (offline mode).

Initial drawer counts The first operator that logs into a till for each shift will perform the Initial Drawer Count. It is possible to count the cash in local and foreign currencies; for the local currency, it is possible to configure the system so that you can retrieve many details (the quantity for each denomination) or the total amount.

Special behavior when working in Mode 3

This working mode is used in environments where the money is left inside the drawer during the night, and the total amount counted during the Initial drawer count by the operator should correspond to the declared amount (of cash in local and foreign currencies) of the final drawer count for the previous shift (see description of flag “Check initial drawer count”). If the system detects a difference, it gives the operator a configurable number of trials to correct the data before the contents of the drawer count are forcibly saved on the DB. The operator will not see the details of the detected difference. In case of any difference, the printout generated after the confirmation of the drawer count must display the differences.

It may be the case that an operator forgets to execute the final count at the end of a shift, and the shop manager does not execute the final count using the Admin. In such a situation, when a new shift is opened, the system will have to detect this situation and to inform the operator that the final count of the previous shift is missing.

The operator will then be forced to insert the data of the final count of the previous shift (for a correct balance of the cash fund of the safe) before opening the new shift.

The money in the drawer is logically contained in a part of the safe named Cash Fund (see section 1.1.3). When the Initial Drawer Count is performed, an automatic withdrawal movement from the Cash Fund of the safe is generated; in case of differences, the program also generates a balancing movement to compensate the amounts.

Initial drawer count performed in till

The picture aside shows an Initial Drawer Count performed on till: FrontEnd

Initial drawer count performed by Admin

When initial drawer counts are mandatory, the list shows the drawer count ordered by date and time when they were performed for the open shifts.

When initial drawer counts are not mandatory, the list shows the open shifts where the initial drawer count is still missing.

ADMIN > Tasks > Initial drawer count


the drawer count can be performed by double clicking on a line or by pressing the “Count selected” button.

Figure A – Empty mask: no available open shifts

Figure B – List of initial drawer counts already performed

Workability - operative workflow executing the Initial drawer count by Admin

1. Be sure the till is on, waiting on the login mask.

2. Press the Open new shift button, and choose the till.

The fields enabled on this page depend on the Primary and Secondary shift configuration.

3. Insert the quantity of notes and coins for the value of the initial drawer cash fund


4. At the and press the Save button to store the initial drawer found.

5. On the till, when the operator logins for the first time in his working day, the printer connected to the till prints the initial drawer count:

6. The operator starts to sell.

Final Drawer Counts Final drawer count performed in till Depending on the configuration, at the end of each shift the operator has to perform the Final Drawer Count. It is possible to count the cash in local and foreign currencies, the credit cards, vouchers and cheques. As for Initial Drawer Count, it is possible to configure the system so that you can enter many details (the quantity for each denomination) or the total amount of the local currency.


The amounts and quantities declared by the operator are compared to the sales made during the working day. If the system detects a difference, it gives the operator a configurable number of trials to correct the data before the contents of the drawer count are forcibly saved on the DB. The operator will not see the details of the detected difference and a semaphore-like page will give an idea of how big the differences are (see picture aside). The thresholds for each means of payment are configurable at shop level.

The printout generated after the confirmation of the drawer count will display the differences detected for each means of payment.

For Working Mode 3, the money contained in the drawer will logically flow into the Cash Fund of the safe (see section 1.1.3). When the Final Drawer Count is performed, an automatic deposit movement to the Cash Fund of the safe is generated; in case of differences, the program generates a balancing movement to compensate the amounts.

When the final drawer count is performed on FrontEnd and envelopes are enabled, the envelope number will be requested after the Save button is pressed and after showing the eventually tolerances form.

In addition, in this case, envelope numbers can be specified manually or they can be read using a barcode reader. In the latter case, the system will ask for confirmation of the envelope number, to be sure that the barcode was read correctly.

In FrontEnd, envelope numbers can be included in the drawer count printout by processing the envelope_number XML tag. A sample XSLT template that manages the envelope number is available with the plugin distribution.

FrontEnd

Final drawer count performed by Admin The following picture shows a Final Drawer Count performed on the Admin application.

This way, if the final drawer count was not inserted directly in till by the operator, the related line will be displayed in this mask: on selecting it and pressing the Count selected button, the program displays the mask where the drawer content can be inserted.

ADMIN > Tasks > Final drawer count


If the “Request drawer count envelope number” system parameter is active, the related field appears below the data grid, where the number of envelope - the operator uses to insert the money from the drawer count - can be specified.

When the field is mandatory it may be filled manually or with a barcode reader. Any alphanumeric value is accepted and no uniqueness constraints are present.

Workability - Operative workflow executing the Final drawer count by Admin

1. In till, the operator must logoff. If the releated parameter is active, he must insert the final drawer count directly in till, before logging out.

2. Contrarily, the Admin operator must force the closing of the till using the apposite functionality

3. Now the Final drawer count is available to be filled.


4. This message warns about possible other tills of the shop that are not available of the P2P.

This information is very important when the Secondary Shift is configured ‘By Operator’. This is because with such shift configuration, the operator can sell on different cash registers.

When performing the final drawer counts, the amounts related to the sales are retrieved from all the the cash registers; if a cash register is not reachable, the total amount of the sales could be wrong.

Message WARNING The shop has 3 tills but only 1 are currently active. Following tills are not online: Till: 32 Enhanced till 2 Treasury OK

5. Insert the quantity of notes and coins for the value of the final drawer content. Remember to insert also the envelope number.

6. When finished, press the Save button to store the initial drawer found. A message confirms the end of the procedure.


4.2 Spot check of the drawer contents Available for all working modes

The spot check of the drawers consists of the possibility given to the shop managers to check the (calculated) content of the various tills drawers, directly using the Admin application.

The spot check computes the expected quantity of money contained in the drawers, considering the amount specified for the Initial Drawer count, the sales made on the till (using a means of payment contained in the drawer – e.g. not a payment with customer card), the deposits and the withdrawals operations performed during the day.

This feature can be used to determine whether a Cash Removal or a Cash Deposit is needed (see next section).

The spot check feature must also work when the central database is not reachable (offline mode), by contacting the cash registers via P2P.

When the spot check is executed, a report is generated and displayed to the shop manager.

The picture shows a sample of the report parameters. ADMIN > Treasury > Drawers spot check

When the Start Report button is pressed, the following report is displayed on the screen:


4.3 Cash removals and deposits Foreword: In this plugin, there is a difference between a standard withdrawal/deposit operations and a cash removal (both made on the till).

The cash removal is the combination of a withdrawal operation executed on the till and a deposit movement in the safe. Its use is mandatory working in Mode 3

ADMIN > Bookkeeping > Withdrawals /Deposit

Cash removals The cash removal operation is not mandatory; depending on how much money is contained in the various drawers, it can be executed once or more than once in the same working day for each till. It is up to the operators or to the shop manager to decide when to execute a cash removal.

The cash removals are based on the existing withdrawal and deposit operations that can already be made on the tills.

Specific withdrawals must be marked as Cash Removals (see the picture aside).

ADMIN > Bookkeeping > Withdrawals/Deposits

The operator will be able to move from the drawer to the safe (and vice versa) any amount, in the local or in a foreign currency. As for the drawer counts, it will be possible to specify the details for each denomination for the local currency, while it will only be possible to specify the totals for the foreign currencies.

If the operator tries to withdraw an amount that is greater than the computed availability of the drawer, a warning message will be displayed. The operator will have the possibility to confirm and execute the withdrawal anyway.

Message QUESTION The withdrawal amount FRS: 77200 is greater than Drawer Cash amount! Do you wanto to proceed?

A withdrawal can be configured in order to remove not only cash, but also vouchers, cheques and other means of payments from the cash drawer. The same will be possible also for cash removals.

In this case, the withdrawal from the cash drawer will work like any regular withdrawal (thus removing all the specified means of payment for the specified amounts). The corresponding deposit to the safe fund will only involve the Safe Fund (in local and foreign currencies).

E.g. For a cash removal configured in the following way:

• cash local currency (e.g. NOK)

• foreign currencies (e.g. EUR, DKK)

• our Vouchers (e.g. internal customer vouchers)

• other Vouchers (e.g. in cooperation with another company)


When the removal is configured, the system works as follows:

• Cash and foreign currency decrease the till amount and increase the Safe fund

• Customer vouchers and other vouchers decrease the till amount and do not affect the safe

When a cash removal is executed, the till will ask an envelope number to be specified. This envelope will be an alphanumeric value, without any validation or uniqueness constraint. It will also be possible to read the envelope number using a barcode reader.

The registration of the envelope number shall be customizable if this is mandatory or optional on shop level

ADMIN > Outlets > Outlets > tab “Safe management” > field “Mandatory envelope number for safe movements on cash withdrawals/ cash deposits mandatory”

ADMIN > Outlets > Outlets > tab “Safe management” > field “Mandatory envelope number for safe movements on cash deposit”

In the initial set-up the registration of the envelope number (safebag-ID) must be mandatory in order to start the cash removal. It must be filled before entering the single cash amounts.

Cash deposits A cash deposit is the opposite of the cash removal; it consists of a withdrawal from the safe and a deposit to the drawer of the till.

The cash deposit feature will be based on the existing deposit feature of the till and is designed so that it will work on the till and not in the Admin.

Specific till deposits can be marked as Cash Deposits (in a similar way to the one previously explained for Cash Removals).

Differentiation

The two functionalities cash removal and cash deposit shall be additionally available at the till and will not affect the normal withdrawal and deposit function, which do not have the safe as a counterpart.

When the new cash deposit operation is made on the till, a corresponding withdrawal movement will be executed on the safe (as an automatic operation).

This movement is visible in the report aside.

ADMIN > Reports > Safe counts

Thus, at till there are four Cash Management types:

Deposit

Withdrawal

Cash deposit (safe as counterpart)

Cash removal (safe as counterpart)


4.4 Daily safe turnover (Shop count) This feature is mandatory working in Mode 1, 2 and is optional working in Mode 3

ADMIN > Treasury > Daily safe turnover

The Daily safe turnover (previously named Shop Count) gives a day-by-day aggregate view of the amounts declared by the operators in their final drawer counts. The aggregated data are related to all the shops connected to the same safe.

The Daily safe turnover pages also shows to the shop managers if some requested operations have not been performed (such as primary, secondary closings or final drawer counts).

When the Daily safe turnover will be computed and printed for the first time for a specific day, the related information will be saved in the DB in order to speed up any subsequent request for the data of the same day.

Since the operators execute the cash removal operation, their final drawer count will contain only the amounts that are left inside the drawers overnight. For this reason, this page will show the total amount that has been moved to the Cash Fund of the safe for each working day.

It is possible to execute the Daily safe turnover only when all the shifts (primary and secondary) have been closed for a certain bookkeeping date. If some closings are missing, an error message appears on the right side of the bookkeeping date field.

Last shop date: 11.02.15

Bookkeeping date Daily safe count (Daily safe turnover) for bookkeeping date 11.02.15 is missing

In some environments, the shop managers will not have any possibility to change the data presented by this page. They will have a read-only view in which it will be possible to drill down the data at shop level (depending on the setting of the field aside).

ADMIN > System > System parameters > tab Treasury management > field Daily safe turnover (Shop count) editable

Depending on which Working Mode is set, the Daily safe turnover is/is not mandatory.

Working Mode 1, 2 The Safe Daily Turnover is mandatory, meaning that, if missing, it impedes the possibility to execute any bank deposit or any operation on the safe. Working Mode 3 The Safe Daily Turnover will not be mandatory, meaning that, if missing, it does not impair the possibility to execute any bank deposit or any operation on the safe.

11.02.2015


The shop manager can check the cumulated amounts coming from the drawer counts in the two grids found in the page.

In the left grid, the Daily safe turnover (Shops count) displays the totals for the various payments type. The values displayed in this grid cannot be modified, since they are computed based on the values in the details grid.

The right grid displays the details for the currently selected payment type.

Before validation, the shop manager has the possibility to modify the Details grid; the totals will be automatically recomputed. This is possible only if the “Shops count editable” system parameter is enabled.

ADMIN > Treasury > Daily safe turnover (Shop count)

Image: before validating the Daily safe turnover

Counted This column displays the cumulated amount originated from the final drawer counts of all the shops linked to the active safe.

The values in the Sold and in the Difference columns are displayed only after the validation of the Daily safe turnover.


Image: after validate the Daily safe turnover

Once the shop manager verifies the figures displayed in the Daily safe turnover, it has the possibility to validate it. Once is validated, he can no longer modify it.

The validation does the following:

registers the user that validated the Daily safe turnover and the validation time

generates a report containing the data of the Daily safe turnover (see below).

the content of the Sold and Difference columns is displayed on the screen.

The Sold column reports the total of all the sales carry out in the related period. The Difference column is valorized if there is a difference between the counted amount and the related sales amount.

According the aside calculation, in the example above, the difference does not exist:


Counted 1500 - Init cash amount 500 + Withdrawals 1000 - Deposits 200 = Total 1800

Fields description These are additional fields displayed in this page:

Field Description

Initial cash amount

Total cash in local currency given to the operators at the beginning of their shifts.

Mode 1, 2 and 3

Initial currency amount

Total cash in foreign currencies given to the operators at the beginning of their shifts

Payments with customer cards

ADMIN > Treasury > Daily safe turnover > “Print” button

When pressed, the following report is generated:

If the Treasury Management is configured for working offline, this report will also be available in offline mode (Concentrator requested); when executed offline, the sections containing the total articles and the VAT rates could be missing.


4.5 Safe management The safe is the place where the money belonging to one or more shops is kept.

This feature allows to manage in and out movements from the safe, as well as inventories of the contents of the safe.

The feature also allows movements in any of the currencies defined in TCPOS.

ADMIN > Treasury > Safe management

The safe is logically divided in two parts but the use of the contained amount differs depending on the Working Mode set.

Working Mode 1, 2

The Safe fund Used to buy material and for small expenses of the shop. The Safe fund also handles automatically the petty cash.

The Cash fund Used to keep the money given to the operators at the beginning of their shifts.

Working Mode 3 The Safe Fund It contains the money coming from the sales (deposited through Cash Removals) and meant to be deposited in the bank.

The Cash Fund It contains the money used to fill the drawers of the cash registers.

The handling of the two funds are visible in the report



Fields description These are the fields displayed in this page:

Field Description

Action It enables the operator to define which action to execute.

Possible actions are:

Safe inventory - Enables the shop manager to specify the value of the Safe fund (the value of the Cash fund is not considered in an inventory). If the specified amount is different from the value that the system expects based on the existing movements, a warning is displayed on the screen. The shop manager is allowed to modify the provided value only once. It is possible to perform multiple inventories for the same booking date.

Withdrawal movement - Enables the shop manager to register a withdrawal from the specified fund.

Deposit movement - Enables the shop manager to register a deposit in the specified fund.

Target It allows to specify if the movement is executed on the Safe fund or Cash fund.

Comment Optional

If inserted, it is printed in the Safe count report (see below).

Date Bookkeeping date of the movement.

In Working Mode 1,2 the system automatically proposes the movement date as the first booking date (for which a shift exists) after the last Daily Safe Count

Movement causal

Causal to be associated to a deposit or withdrawal movement.

In the combo choose the appropriate one from the list of the available causals stored in the related table (see aside).

The causals formerly used in the system parameters configuration are not displayed between the ones in the combo, therefore specific causals for manual movements should be created.


Print details If active, it prints all movement details in the report displayed after performing the Safe Inventory

Report’s lower bound date

Movements starting date of the report displayed after performing the Safe Inventory

Safe fund amounts

Code – Currency code

Currency – Currency description

Amount - Amount of the movement or of the safe inventory. If the related flag is set (see aside), by double-click on this field, the program opens the mask for inserting the detailed currency coins.

ADMIN > Treasury > Safes > flag “Notes and coins details for safe count”

The related report When executing the Safe inventory, the following report is automatically displayed on the screen:

It shows all the movements on the Safe fund and Cash fund, starting from the last Daily safe count (that can be performed from the Bank Deposits page) or starting from “Report’s lower bounded date“.

This report is also visible by selecting the related report menu option (see aside).



Differences depending on which Mode is set

Working in Mode 1

Working in Mode 3

Working in this Mode, there is a completely automatic behavior (withdrawals from the fund when initials count are executed, deposits to the fund when final count is executed).

When executing Inventories, the system will automatically propose the amount currently contained in the Cash Fund. No manual operations on the fund will be possible.

On the other hand, on the Safe Fund it will be possible to execute the following operations:

Manual deposits (in any currency)

Manual withdrawals (in any currency)

Automatic deposits (originated by the Cash Removals on the tills)

Automatic withdrawals (originated by Cash Deposits on the tills and by Bank Deposits)

Inventories (all the currencies must be counted)

As stated above, the management of the Cash Fund will be partially automatic, based on the movements originated by the Initial and Final Drawer Counts, but if necessary the operator can also execute the following operations:



On the other hand, on the Safe Fund it will be possible to execute the following operations:

Safe inventory (all the currencies must be counted)



Automatic deposits (originated by the Cash Removals on the tills)

Automatic withdrawals (originated by Cash Deposits on the tills and by Bank Deposits)


The Safe Fund Inventory

When a safe inventory is executed, the shop manager will have to count the amounts for all of the currencies contained in the safe.

If the declared total amount of the Safe Fund does not correspond to the computed total amount, the system will display a warning message and will give a second chance to count the money.

When the Treasury Management is configured for working offline, it will be possible to execute any of the operations described above even when the Safe is in offline mode (Concentrator requested).

Example of the workflow followed using the safe management when working in Mode 3 These steps describe the workflow for inserting a safe inventory.

Workability - operative workflow executing the Initial drawer count by Admin

1. Be sure the Safe inventory action is selected.

2. Double-click on the Amount field related to the currency to count. Insert the quantity and press the Confirm button. The related value is updated.

When executing inventories of the Safe Fund, the shop manager will have the possibility to specify the details or the total amount for any of the currencies; this setting will be configurable from the definition page of the Safe.

ADMIN > Treasury > Safes > flag “Notes and coins details for safe count”

The system will store the ID, the textual description (Shop X

Till Y) and the cashier number of the till that performed the following movements:

This information provides the ability to identify the tills that originated the movements.

Cash fund – Withdrawals originated by Initial drawer counts

Cash fund – Deposits originated by Final drawer counts

Safe fund – Deposits originated by Cash Removals

Safe fund – Withdrawals originated by Cash Deposits

For each safe, it will be possible to decide whether the inventory is mandatory or not.

When the safe is configured for a mandatory inventory, the shop manager will have to perform at least one inventory after executing a bank deposit.

If the inventory is not performed, the system will not enable the execution of a new bank deposit.

ADMIN > Treasury > Safes> flag “Daily safe count (Safe count) mandatory”


3. Insert a comment and press again the Confirm button. A warning message will be displayed. Press Yes.

4. The specific report is displayed.

Message QUESTION Do you want to perform a safe inventory? Please note that the provided amount must only consider the safe fund and not the cash fund. Yes/No


4.6 Due date safe inventory Available for all working modes

This report gives the possibility to see the actual amount of cash of the safe (Cash fund + Safe fund) for a specific due date and all final counts in all shops related to the safe that were made on that day.

On the cash fund side, since multiple shifts and final drawer counts can be executed for each till on the same day, the report will display the data of the last final drawer count performed on each till in each shop related to the safe for a specific day.


4.7 Bank deposit and Daily safe counts Through this feature, the shop manager may generate the documents needed for the bank deposit.

The look and feel of the bank deposits page depends on the bank deposit type configured in the system parameters (Working Mode). The following sections will describe the details of the bank deposit management pages.

It will be possible to execute the bank deposits even when the Admin is in offline mode (Concentrator requested).

Important

The Daily safe count feature is available only if you are working in Mode1 or in Mode2.

4.7.1 Bank deposits performed daily (Working Mode 1) The system automatically proposes the first date for which a bank deposit is required; basically it checks the Daily safe turnover for which a bank deposit has not been made and proposes the earliest date.

Therefore, it is mandatory to work in this mode to do every day the Daily safe turnover.

If they the bank deposits have been performed, a message is displayed.

This page is divided into two areas, that are mutually exclusive: the Bank deposit data area and the Daily safe count area.

ADMIN > Treasury > Bank deposit

Message INFO “All bank deposits and daily safe counts have been performed. Last bank deposit was executed for bookkeeping date dd.mm.yyyy”


Daily bank deposit After the Daily safe turnover has been performed, the next activity to perform is the bank deposit, in which the shop manager prepares and reviews the amount to be sent to the bank.

The Bank deposit page is shown in this picture:

The grid contains one row for each payment type that must be deposited in the bank.

The Available amount column contains the values retrieved from the Daily safe turnover and the Deposited to bank column is initialized with the same values.

The shop manager has the possibility to change the amount only for the cash; in this case the difference is moved from or to the Safe fund.

Depending on the configuration, the bordereau number can be optional or mandatory.

When the Deposit to bank button is pressed, the bank deposit is confirmed, the Bank deposit report is produced

Image: sample of the summary page of the Bank deposit report.

Image: sample of one of the several deposit details

and the Daily Safe Count area is enabled.

ADMIN > Treasury > Safes > field “Bordereau number mandatory”


Daily safe count mandatory The Bank deposit data page also enables the operator to perform the Daily safe count.

After the bank deposit has been confirmed, the area on the right side of the page becomes active, and the user may insert the Daily safe count.

The operator must provide a value for both the cash and the safe fund.

The Safe fund amount includes the amount specified in the Bank deposit data grid in the To safe count and From safe count columns.

The operator can decide whether to print the Safe count report or not. If the report is printed, it will show all the safe movements starting from the last Daily safe count.

If the amount provided for the Safe fund does not correspond to what the system expects, a warning message is displayed and the operator is allowed to modify the amount (only once). This is the same warning message that you will see while performing the safe inventory (from the Safe management page).

The message depends on the settings of this field

ADMIN > Treasury > Safes > field “Percentage of safe fund from warning message”

When the Execute daily safe count button is pressed, the daily safe count is confirmed and the related report is printed.



4.7.2 Bank deposits performed periodically (Working Mode 2) When bank deposits are performed periodically, the management is completely different from the workflow described in the previous section.

The shop manager is no longer required to execute a bank deposit each day; instead, he can decide when to execute them (e.g. once a week or multiple times in the same day).

The Daily safe count – if mandatory - must be still executed once a day.

Periodic bank deposits The Bank Deposits page enables the user to display the existing bank deposits and to create a new one.

In the upper part of the page, the user can select the search criteria in order to display the existing bank deposits (the shop code cannot be modified and is set to the current shop based on the SHOP parameter in the INI file).


When pressing the Search button, the program fills the grid with the bank deposits already performed, that respect the filter criteria. The user can display a bank deposit by double-clicking on it or by selecting it and then pressing the Display selected deposit button.

It is possible to add a new deposit by clicking on the Add new deposit button.

This side form is displayed on the screen.

When inserting a new bank deposit, the shop manager must select the drawer counts envelope to be sent to the bank. It is possible to link the drawer counts by pressing the Plus (+) button on the right side of the empty grid.


Consequently, the final drawer count selection form opens. This form lists the drawer counts already performed, for which an envelope number was specified and not yet associated to any bank deposit.

The user can select a drawer count by setting the check box in the Link column. When selected, the entire row becomes green.

When all the drawer counts to be included in the bank deposit have been selected, the operation must be confirmed by pressing on the Confirm button.

Image: drawer count without bank deposit

Image: drawer count with bank deposit

The selected drawer counts are copied to the Periodic bank Deposit page and the total amount of the bank deposit is automatically computed.

The shop manager can remove the selected linked drawer count by pressing on the Unlink (X) button on the right side of the Linked drawer counts grid.

The only information that is still needed is a Deposit number (alphanumeric value without any particular constraint) and then the bank deposit can be confirmed by pressing on the Save button.

Once a bank deposit is confirmed, it is no longer possible to modify it.

Image: this picture shows a Bank deposit linked to one drawer count

After confirmation, a Bank deposit report is automatically produced. The same report can be printed later on, by pressing on the Print button in the Periodic bank deposit detail page.


Daily safe count With periodic bank deposits, the Daily safe count does no longer depend on the bank deposit. It only depends on the Daily safe turnover (Shops count) and the system automatically tries to compute the first booking date for which a Daily safe count is needed.

The logic for executing the daily safe count is exactly the same as described in the daily bank deposits dedicated section.


4.7.3 Periodic deposits with safe currencies amounts (Working Mode 3) When this Working Mode is set, the Bank deposits are performed starting from the contents of the safe.

For this reason, when you select the related option on the ribbon, the program checks if the safe funds have been initialized.

The system will propose a bank deposit for each of the currencies defined in the safe. The proposed amount for each currency will be the total amount contained in the Safe Fund for specified currency. The shop manager will have the possibility to modify manually this amount.

For each safe and each currency, it will be possible to specify a different bank account on which the deposited amounts are booked.


Image: this picture shows a proposal for the bank deposit page

It is possible to configure whether the bordereau number is mandatory or optional, and whether the number is automatically generated (using a predefined pattern containing the safe code and the timestamp of the deposit) or not.

Moreover, although the bordereau number is generated automatically, the user can still edit it

When a bank deposit is confirmed, the corresponding amount is withdrawn from the safe and a printout is generated, containing a summary of the Bank Deposit for each one of the currencies

and a detail page for each one of the bank accounts on which a deposit is made:

This operation generates the related safe movement, with the causal “Bank deposit/withdrawal” without comments and is visible with the functionality aside.

Shops of the safe were open in a day marked for closing and the Daily safe turnover (Shops count) is present

Red an error situation:

Shops of the safe were open in an opening day but the Daily safe turnover (Shops count) is missing

Black Opening and closing information is missing.


5.2 Bank confirmations Within this page you can match the bank deposits made by the various safes with the confirmation messages coming from the banks.

The operator at the headquarters has the responsibility to match the bank deposit with the confirmation received by the bank, by specifying the safe, the bookkeeping date or the bordereau number associated with the bank deposit.

The matching results are displayed in the grid located in the lower part of the screen. The lines marked in green have already been confirmed and the Manual flag (Mode 1) determines whether the matching was manual or automatic (automatic matching has to be implemented with a customization project).

The Bank confirmations page is slightly different depending on the type of bank deposit that is performed.

The operator has the possibility to display the details of the bank confirmation by double clicking on a row.
