Opening a Register Drawer

When should I open or close register drawers?

At least one register drawer should be opened at the start of each business day, and all open drawers should be closed at the end of each business day. This allows you to track the variances on cash drawers used by specific employees, manage the tips awarded to each employee, and record of the amount of cash and checks deposited to the bank.

Tips: To better understand why a drawer wasn't balanced at closing, you can require a closing note when the drawer doesn't balance. After a register is closed, you can view the Last Drawer Close Summary for details on the user, date, and time of the last open and close.

To open a drawer in Drawer Manager

You must open at least one drawer before you can ring up sales and process refunds. If you have not yet set up any drawers, see Adding or Editing a Drawer.

Note: The drawer that you most recently accessed is your default drawer.

  1. Open Drawer Manager:
  • Go to Meevo > Register > Register, or type register into the Convobar. At the top of the Smart Receipt, select Edit beside the drawer name to open Drawer Manager on the right panel.
  • Navigate to Meevo > Register > Drawer Manager, or type drawermanager into the Convobar to open the Drawer Manager.
  1. In the Currently Assigned Drawer field, choose a drawer and select Open Drawer. The Opening screen appears.

Note: The Expected Opening Cash value is determined by the Cash left in drawer value that was entered when the drawer was last closed.

  1. Enter the Actual Opening Cash for this drawer, or select the Cash Calculator to enter the amount.
  2. Enter an Opening Note. For example, if the expected opening cash amount differs from the actual amount, you would add a note confirming this discrepancy.
  3. Select Save. The register main screen appears, where you can select a client and begin a transaction.
