Register Reconciliation
- After you have CLOSEd the register(s) (ran the Z tape) and have brought the drawer with all the Cash, Checks, Credit Card Charges, AR Charges, Gift Certificates, Return Receipts and whatever other items back to the office, print the Tender/Register Summary
- Count your drawer down to your pre-determined drawer amount.
- Count all your cash and compare to the Tender/Register Summary report.
- Count and run a tape on all your checks and compare against the Tender/Register Summary report.
- Include Travelers Checks as checks.
- Count and run a tape on all your credit card charges and compare against the Tender/Register Summary report.
- You will need to add the various credit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Discover…) together from the Tender/Register Summary report to get the total of all credit card charges
- Count and run a tape on all your AR charges and compare against the Tender/Register Summary report.

Reconcile against Spreadsheet
- From the Tender/Register Summary report, use the TOTAL column when getting numbers for the Departments.
- Remember to add together for the TEXT category:
- NEW TEXTBOOKS
- USED TEXTBOOKS
- TRADEBOOKS
- OPTIONAL TEXTBOOKS
- If there are any FIX or ERROR lines, decide what departments they belong to
- Once you assign these items a class, they will be grouped into the correct departments.
- From the spreadsheet:
- CHGS = ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
- DISC = TRANS DISCS/MKDNS
- Remember to add together for the TEXT category:
- From the Tender/Register Summary report, use the TOTAL column when getting numbers for the Departments.
REF = RETURNS
- Remember to include tax
- TAX = SALES TAX
- DEPARTMENTS = DEPARTMENTS
- Remember to add together the departments that you need to on the Tender/Register Summary
- CASH ON HAND = TOTAL (of Tenders) less ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
- SHORT = cash short, LONG = cash long
- The TTL line on the spreadsheet should match the amount of the REF line.
