Determining Short/Over Differences

In this process the short/over differences are calculated according to one of three methods indicated in the Short/Over Balancing Customizing:

Copy expected amount and short/over amount from Totals Records POS transactions.
Copy expected amount from Totals Records POS transactions and calculate short/over amount
Calculate expected amount and short/over amount from related sales and financial POS transactions

The short/over and the expected amounts are calculated as follows:

Calculation	Description
Short/Over Amount = Actual Amount - Expected Amount	Actual Amount refers to the amount of tenders physically counted at the register.
Expected Amount = Tender Amount + Pay-In Amount - Pay-Out Amount	Pay-In Amount refers to the amount added to the till. Pay-Out Amount refers to the amount removed from the till. For methods 1 and 2 listed above, Pay-Out Amount = Removal Amount + Bank Amount, where Removal Amount refers to the amount removed from the till and Bank Amount refers to the amount transferred to the bank. For method 3, Tender Amount is calculated from the POS transactions associated to the Totals transaction. Pay-In and Pay-Out amounts are calculated from the Financial transactions associated to the Totals transaction.

Calculation

Description

Short/Over Amount = Actual Amount - Expected Amount

Actual Amount refers to the amount of tenders physically counted at the register.

Expected Amount = Tender Amount + Pay-In Amount - Pay-Out Amount

Pay-In Amount refers to the amount added to the till.

Pay-Out Amount refers to the amount removed from the till.

For methods 1 and 2 listed above, Pay-Out Amount = Removal Amount + Bank Amount, where Removal Amount refers to the amount removed from the till and Bank Amount refers to the amount transferred to the bank.

For method 3, Tender Amount is calculated from the POS transactions associated to the Totals transaction. Pay-In and Pay-Out amounts are calculated from the Financial transactions associated to the Totals transaction.
