Understanding Teller Control and Balance Procedures
Screen Overview
This screen is used to control teller functions. Fields that can be modified are Cash Over, Cash Short, and the Cash Inventory fields (current date only).
This is also the screen used to activate (open) a teller drawer before teller activity can begin (Activate (F1)), or to close the teller drawer at the end of the day (Close (F2)).
BE CAREFUL: If you close a teller drawer, and then later delete audit keys or make vault transfers related to that drawer, the system may not allow you to reactive the teller drawer for balancing activity. Be sure all balancing activity is complete and any necessary corrections or vault activity are done before closing a teller drawer for the day.
Teller Control: Entering Cash Inventory Figures
At the bottom of this screen are fields used for logging cash drawer inventory. These figures can be updated at any time during the day, as many times as needed.
1.Enter the date into the Cash Inventory as of field and use Enter to see the figures already logged for the day.
-
You may also use this field to see cash inventory figures from a previous day, although previous day figures cannot be modified.
2.You can choose to enter cash inventory two ways:
ÞBy dollar amount: By default, the inventory fields let you enter your drawer inventory using dollar amounts. For example, if you have seven $20 bills in the drawer, you would enter 140.00 (not 7) into the Twenties field.
OR
ÞBy bill quantity: Use Quantity (F11) to toggle the fields so that you can enter bill quantities instead. For example, if you have seven $20 bills in the drawer, you would enter 7 (not 140.00) into the Twenties field. (NOTE: The four Misc fields are always entered as dollar amounts.)
The Quantity/Amount feature is a toggle between the quantity and amount entry methods. In either case, sub-totals are calculated automatically in dollars.
3.To see an updated Total Cash Balance, use Enter.
-
If necessary, use Clear (F4) to clear all figures and start over.
4.To save all figures, use Save Inventory (F5). Be sure to use this before using Audit (F3) or before leaving this screen.
