Cash register | Settings

Via Settings > Cash register you switch on the cash register, manage your cash registers and determine what the overview of the cash bookings and the Z-report look like. This page is only visible to administrators. Your changes are saved as soon as you leave the page. Do you want to apply them straight away? Then click Activate settings at the bottom right: Robaws saves them and reloads the page. How to work with the cash register is explained in Cash register | General.

Master data

Click Cash register to manage your cash registers. You can also find the same list via Settings > General, at Master data > Others > Cash register. Click Add to create a cash register.

Field	Explanation
Company	(visible if you have several companies) The company of the cash register. You cannot change it afterwards.
Name	The name of the cash register.
Diary code	The code of the cash journal in Exact Online. That is where the cash payments, internal transfers and cash differences go.
General diary code	The code of the general journal in Exact Online. That is where the Bancontact and credit card payments go.
Opening balance	The money in the cash register at the start. It must be equal to the closing balance of the cash journal in Exact Online. After the first closing, this field disappears.

The company of your cash register

Every cash register belongs to one company. So choose it carefully when you create it:

If you work with one company, Robaws fills it in itself.
If your user role has access to exactly one company, Robaws links the cash register to that company.
If you have access to several companies, Robaws first asks which company it should be, with your default company already filled in.

The company determines:

on which orders and invoices you can choose the cash register: only those of the same company;
to which Exact Online administration the closing goes;
who sees the cash register, if you work with company separation on your user roles.

Do you see a company on an older cash register that you did not choose yourself? Then it is on the default company from Settings > General.
