Accounting

The Accounting tab contains sub-tabs with settings that pertain to how various accounting activities are recorded and calculated.

General

Contains the control to set the first day of the week.

First Day of Week: Determines the first day of the accounting week and the weekly/biweekly pay periods.
Move Cash Drawers: Managers can move cash drawers between terminals without employees having to go through the checkout process. This can be useful if an employee needs to move from one terminal to another on the same shift.
Re-assign Cash Drawers: Managers can re-assign cash drawers from terminals without employees having to go through the checkout process. This can be useful if an employee needs to go on break and have another employee fill in for them.
Advanced cash management: Opts the user into the Advanced Cash Management workflow with enhanced Count Drawer and Cash Skim workflows.
Restrict Voids on Paid Orders: Restricts the modification of paid orders, directs the employee to perform a refund instead.
Allow Enhanced Refunds: Ensures unpaid orders must be emptied prior to initiating a refund.
- Refund Item : allows a cashier to refund one or more items from the closed order
- Refund Order : allows the cashier to refund the entire order
- Both : allows the cashier to refund items as well as the entire order

Important Notes:

When refunding a combo meal or an item with modifiers, the entire combo or item is always refunded, not just a single component. -For example, if a customer ordered a burger combo and only wants to return the drink, the full combo will be refunded.
If the Recall Order screen shows individual components and only one is selected, the system will still automatically refund the entire combo or item.
Any change to the Allow Enhanced Refunds option in Settings Editor requires the registers to restart when published
Once a refund has been started and the system creates the linked refund transaction, no items can be added, removed, or changed. This applies to both Refund Item and Refund Order flows.
If a cashier selects the wrong item by mistake, they can cancel the refund and start over; they cannot modify it after it has been created.
Multiple refunds on the same original order are allowed; however, the combined total of all refunds can never exceed the amount of the original order.
If there is a discount or promotion on an order, the Refund Item button will be disabled. If you want to allow Refunds on orders with a discount and/or promotion, it is recommended that Allow Enhanced Refunds be set to Refund Order or Both.
When Allow Enhanced Refunds is set to either Refund Item or Both, and you want to choose more than one item on the order, Allow Multi Selection Mode must be enabled.
- Allow Multi Selection Mode is located in Layout. Find the Order List panel and click on it.
