Setting Up Paid Out/In Types

From FloristWiki

Paid out and paid in types are reasons why cash must be added to or removed from the cash register drawer in Point of Sale. For example, you may have to use the paid out function to take cash out of the drawer to pay for gas for the delivery truck, or pay for candy or fruit for gift baskets. The paid in function is then commonly used to return change to the cash drawer.

In order to use the paid out/in function, you must first specify Paid Out/In Types, which describe the reason for the paid out/in transaction.

To configure paid out and paid in types for use in Point of Sale:

1. Access the Paid Out/In Types screen in Mercury Administration.
   The paid out and paid in types that you enter here display in Point of Sale in a drop down field when you do a paid out/in. You will select the paid out/in type and enter a dollar amount to complete the transaction.
2. Add new paid out/in types, or remove or rename existing ones.
   

   You cannot remove a Paid In or Paid Out type that has already been used.
