Drawer Management is easy to use in POS.

Using Drawer Management does not alter POS functionality.

The main difference is that a drawer is assigned to a specific cashier.

Therefore, the cashier must sign on to a specific drawer.

Closing out of POS has a couple of unique options, as well, if Drawer Management is in use.

If one cashier is present at a register:

• When you open the POS, there will be one box at the upper left of the POS screen: Register is Locked. Please Sign in. Drawer 1 Sign In
  • If two drawers are assigned to the register, there will be a second box beneath this one, identical except it will say Drawer 2 Sign In.
• If you are the only cashier at the register, the system knows your username and password already, since you have already signed in to iMerchant or POS.
• All you need to do is click on the top box at the upper left of the POS Drawer 1 Sign In
• The register will be activated.
• If you Lock Cash Drawer is selected in the POS Closing menu you will be required to key in your password upon re-signing in to your drawer.
• From here, POS functionality is identical whether you use Drawer Management or not.

If two cashiers are present at a register:

• The first cashier to sign in will follow the procedure above
• The second cashier will click on the second box Drawer 2 Sign In.
• A prompt will appear, asking for username and password. Simply enter the correct information.
• The second drawer will become available to the second cashier.

The only other things to be aware of when using Drawer Management are a couple of unique options when using Drawer Management: Lock Cash Drawer and Sign Off and Remove Drawer.

Also, when two cashiers are signed in to two drawers at the same register, the End Shift and Exit, Close the Day, and Close and Start Next Day options will not be present on the POS Closing Menu.

They will only display after one of the cashiers has signed off from his or her cash drawer.
