Daily financial operations in Vista

Opening the day

Manager

Before creating POS sessions, a manager must open the day, confirming the amounts contained within the cinema fund.

Creating floats

Manager

If required, a manager assembles the floats (cash and vouchers) to be issued to POS operators.

Issuing floats

Manager

After assigning POS operators to their areas, a manager issues floats to them and creates POS sessions for them to sign in to.

Signing in to a POS session

POS operator

POS operators sign in to their workstations and confirm their opening floats. If the counted value of the float doesn't match the value displayed in POS, the operator doesn't confirm the float and returns it to the manager. The manager must then adjust or delete the float in CashDesk.

Performing POS transactions

POS operator

POS operators perform POS transactions when they make sales. This updates the POS-session payments summary.

Managing cash

Manager

A manager can use CashDesk to:

• Issue float increases to POS operators
• Receive float drops from POS operators
• Make deposits (move amounts to locked bags and dispatch banking)

Performing miscellaneous transactions

Manager

At any time during the day, a manager can enter miscellaneous transactions (for example, petty-cash expenses or cash income from gaming machines).

Completing a POS session

POS operator

When a POS operator completes a POS session, they log off and return their cash drawer to the back office so the cash can be counted, the float returned, and the income banked.

Cash up a POS Session

Manager

A manager uses CashDesk to check the float and enter adjustments and the final count for each POS session. The POS session can then be closed.

Performing an end-of-day cash-up, and closing the day

Manager

At end of the day, a manager uses CashDesk to confirm the fund balances and close the day. No further POS sessions are allowed for that day. The daily posting journal is automatically created.
