I need help about to pull out my Hair.. One of my workers open her cash register and gave a customer 22.00 in cash, she marked it down on his tab. Later he gave my worker his credit card to pay his tab, as she proceed to add up his tab she rang in 22.00 up as a non-tax sale and charged his credit card for the grand total of his tab. Now my problem is she took cash out of reg. by pressing No Sale then Rang Up the 22.00 as a sale, so do I take it off my z-out total or leave it cause when I subtract my credit cards it will equal out? My sheet is set up like this: z-out total-X minus credit card y = z , z plus open drawer count = A then take A and minus it from the total cash and check you have in you register at the end of then night gives you your over or shortage if any. Please help me very soon.

No Hun it's not homework, I own a bar and I am trying to figure out If I need to take that transaction off my z total.. My barmaid rang it in as a sale and she shouldn't of have. So I feel I have to take it off my total sales, not for sure though was my question

Please don't call me hun.

Hopefully someone who is familiar with the way you do your books will come along and answer you.

Can't speak to the way your cash register is set up but surely it has a credit function.

The transaction you are speaking of is a cash out transaction. Does your reconciliation have a place for these so register total less credit cards less cash out = cash in hand.

If the transaction has been rung up as a sale this transaction needs to be reversed, voided in other words and then if you have cash out you can reconcile otherwise you will just have to make a manual adjustment for the difference

So I Void it off my sales and manually take off my cash count and leave it on the credit card transactions. I am sorry she has never did this before and its really throwing me off, either way I work it, she is, for one doing nothing and just leaving it as is she is 29.13 over then voiding out the 22.00 trasnaction she is like 51.13 over very confused, I figure she would have been short not over. I am about to say to heck with it I will just void 22.00 off my total sales and leave that she is 51 some over. I guess it still don't explain that she said she she took 32.00 dollars out (a 22.00 and a 10.00) but she rang up the 22.00 and not the 10.00. Sorry I guess I need to just leave it and move on. Thank you for your help what you answered makes sense to me, I think I am just confused of why the over and not short, but really thank you.

Not trying to preempt your decision but sometimes the way to correct the situation is to start again
