Creating Checkouts
The cash drawer checkout is created the first time an employee that is assigned to the cash drawer closes a check, even if they close the check on a different terminal than the terminal to which the cash drawer is connected. However, if you are using Aloha versions 6.1.7 or higher with Public cash drawers, then tenders from check closures on terminals with a public cash drawer are applied to the local cash drawer.
You can de-assign employees from the cash drawer and assign new employees to the cash drawer without clearing the checkout information.
If you reassign an employee to a different cash drawer, a new checkout starts for the new cash drawer if one does not already exist.
The cash drawer's checkout is updated every time an employee that is assigned to the cash drawer closes a check.
To run a checkout report, log in to the FOH using an employee with cash drawer access, select Functions/Financial, and select Cash Drawers. Highlight an employee assigned to the drawer, and select Checkout. Even though you are only selecting a single employee, the checkout includes sales from all of the employees assigned to the cash drawer.
Performing a Cash Drawer Checkout does not remove the employee's assignment to the cash drawer.
Clearing CheckoutsIf you are using Aloha versions 5.0x and lower, printing the cash drawer checkout report clears the cash drawer checkout. Further application of the cash drawer checkout report reprints the previous checkout until the employee performs an employee checkout or an employee assigned to the cash drawer closes another sale.
If you are using Aloha versions 5.2x and higher, the FOH prompts you with an option to clear the cash drawer checkout when you run a checkout report.
In any version, once you clear the checkout, employees still assigned to the original drawer accrue a new cash drawer checkout.
