Reconciliation Overview
The Reconciliation function within SapphireOne Inventory Point of Sale (POS) menu displays a list of all POS transactions that have not yet been reconciled on a till by till basis. From the Reconciliation function the user has the ability to reconcile all POS transactions simultaneously.
When Reconciliation function is selected from the POS Menu, SapphireOne will display a list all Tills currently active in SapphireOne. Double click on the selected Till and the Reconciliation screen will be displayed as seen below. POS transactions that have not yet been reconciled will be displayed in the top section of the screen.
Details Area
The Details area of the Reconciliation screen displays a list of POS transactions within the specific till that have not yet been reconciled. In the far right column of the data entry area the user can Tick the transactions they wish to be reconciled.
Selecting the ‘Find’ button accesses the detailed Query function enabling the finding of transactions using specified criteria.
Selecting the ‘Look’ button will cause SapphireOne to display the selected transaction for viewing.
Selecting the ‘Modify’ button will cause SapphireOne to display the Payment tab that is associated with the highlighted transaction. This enables the checking and modifying of both the Payment type and also the Payment amounts without accessing the transaction again.
Dictation and Speech to Text Overview
SapphireOne’s Dictation (MacOS) and Speech to Text (Windows) functionalities revolutionise data entry. These features are available for any data entry field and all inquiry screens within SapphireOne. For instance, when a user makes a call via the SapphireOne Softphone, SapphireOne automatically timestamps the contact and phone number. Post-call, users can dictate notes directly into the CRM contact memo field in relation to the stamp.
This functionality is applicable across all Data Entry screens. As examples, when entering a Vendor Invoice (VI), users can dictate memos directly. Similarly, additional lines can be added to the General Ledger account, with each line having a unique memo field. After an employee interview, users can efficiently dictate notes.
Speech to Text and Dictation are powerful tools that SapphireOne and its clients use daily, significantly saving time.
Totals Area
The Totals area is where the totals that are in the till at the time of reconciliation are totalled from all types of payments. These are credit cards of all types, Eftpos, Vouchers and Cash.
The General Ledger must be set up to hold any amounts entered into the Cash account for Variance data entry field.
Once the ‘Process’ button has been selected SapphireOne will commence the reconciliation procedure. A pop-up will be displayed asking permission to start the reconciliation procedure, and the ‘Yes’ button must be selected to finalise the reconciliation.
The user should be aware that until the very last pop up is displayed and the ‘Yes’ button is selected, SapphireOne will not finalise the reconciliation. Once ‘Yes’ is selected SapphireOne will display the print dialog screen for the operating platform and a receipt will be printed.
The Customers Name, Opening and remaining Outstanding Balances, as well as the current Total Payment being made is displayed on the printed receipt. The user now has the opportunity to check the print out and check for any errors.
