About Cash Drawers and Deposits
Cash Drawers and Deposits are a convenient way of controlling and reconciling a cash drawer and grouping payments for recording into the general ledger. Funds may be deposited using one of four convenient methods:
| Cash Drawer Method | Customer Payments are automatically grouped by location and/or employee for deposit. This method is normally used in retail environments. |
| Delayed Group Method | Customer Payments are selected individually by the user for inclusion on the deposit. This is most commonly used and associated with credit cards. |
| Miscellaneous Method | Non-accounts receivable related deposits are entered using this method. |
| Direct to GL Method | Customer Payments are automatically posted to the desired bank/expense GL account when entered. |
Cash drawers and deposits allow you the opportunity to monitor monies coming into the company, and to have strict controls over funds that are deposited. You can also be alerted to any shortages (or overages) by an employee or location.

13.2 Payment Methods
Cash Drawer deposits are designed to be used in a POS environment, where it is necessary to control and balance cash receipts made by employees and/or locations. The process involves opening a cash drawer based on either location or employee ID (determined by the choice made in Setup Banking), having that employee accept and enter payments into ManageMore, and then closing the drawer later in the day. The drawer can then be posted immediately, or it can be closed awaiting posting by another employee at a later time. Funds can also be added to or removed from the deposit to reflect any amounts that may were not related to customer payments. Amounts can also be left in the drawer and not deposited.

Delayed Group Deposits are best suited for times when a payment is received, but when actual payment is not deposited or posted until some point in the future. ManageMore allows these payments to be held until such time as they are marked for deposit. This is mainly beneficial for credit card payments, where the funds are deposited into your bank account, days after the payment is processed. This method can also be used for businesses who do not operate in a POS environment. You may optionally add or subtract funds from this deposit as well, depending on whether any funds were removed by your company, or possibly for another reason, such as fees being paid from the deposit amount.

Miscellaneous Deposits are intended to be used when other traditional deposit methods are not relevant to use. It is utilized when funds are coming into the company's bank accounts from a source other than customer payments. You can enter or select the general ledger account that best describes where the monies are coming from and the bank account to which they are going to. Examples of miscellaneous deposits would include interest earned from a bank, or perhaps a vendor refund check.

Q & A - Cash Drawers and Deposits
| Q01. | Do I have to make a cash drawer immediately upon entering the program on my first login of the day? What if I have to take a sale before I do this? |
| A01. | You can create a cash drawer at any point during the day. The program will the total up the amounts you have already collected on transactions since the previously closed cash drawer, and will keep the running total, so that the amount at the end of the day will be correct. |
| Q02. | What should I do if I get a bad check from the bank? |
| A02. | If you use the cash drawer method for the check payment method, then the reversal amount will be subtracted from the amount of checks in the drawer of the employee or location where the reversal took place. If the delayed method is used, simply select it the next time a deposit is done. |
| Q03. | I use the delayed group method of depositing for my credit card payments. How do I account for the credit card fees? |
| A03. | When checking off those payments that have been received by your bank, click on the hyperlink at the bottom of the window. Then enter the GL account number that corresponds to your credit card fees account and enter the total amount of the fees that were withheld by the merchant. |
| Q04. | I don't see my question here. Where else can I get information? |
