Overview

When operating a cash register/terminal you are responsible for the cash and non-cash documents (glossary) in the drawer, and for the accuracy of the transactions processed through the register during the day’s trading. This activity is one of the most important in your working day.

Each retailer will have different procedures for controlling cash floats for cash registers/terminals, supplying change and undertaking a register/terminal balance. The procedures you need to follow will depend on the size and type of store you work in, as well as the type of register or terminal used.

In this unit you will learn how to:

• Remove takings from register or terminal
• Reconcile takings.
