way to capture denominations counted for beginning/ending amounts?

When our cashiers count down the drawer to record beginning and ending amounts we have it set up so that they can enter the quantities for the different denominations when they count cash, to speed up the cash counting portion, and to avoid math errrors when counting.

is there a way that we could capture the information entered as a quantity for each denomination, and save that information to the DB so we can report on it later? i'm not seeing anywhere that this is currently getting saved, is it even possible to save this info?

thanks kevin

It would have to be an add-in - I'm not aware of any that do this. THe built-in calculator just generates a sum of the values and enters that as the Cash value at open/close - it does not store the denomination counts entered.

Thanks Glenn, I'll start looking at that as an option. When you enter opening/closing amounts, where does RMS write the count data, besides the TenderTotals table? To what other table(s) if any?

If I write an add-in for this I want to make sure that in addition to capturing the denomination data I need for cash, it also duplicates what RMS currently does

I don't see what this is doing differently from the built in denomination calculator in RMS. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the reply, but it looks like this just creates a form to input the denominations, then gives you a grand total for the cash field in your openings amounts and as Glenn said I can already accomplish this with RMS's input form. I need to take it a step further and have it actually record the total quantities for each separate denomination to a table in the DB, presumably by batch number.

Any other ideas - Glenn or anyone? Appreciate any help, thanks

You could actually add that feature to this HTML addin. You'd have to create a table, then you can insert into it from the add-in. You'd need to do some error checking and make sure that the batch totals were not already entered. As long as you only touch your newly created table you can't do any real damage though...

What denomination calculator in RMS? is there one? I can't find it in help...

...I have never seen this in any documentation or the expensive training I went through.

When you go into enter opening/closing amount screen, on the bottom left is the button for the denomination calculator. Craig

I know that - the issue is that this denomination-specific information is not stored in the DB after the opening amounts are entered - only a total dollar amount for the cash is saved in the DB

Before that will work, you have to edit the Cash Tender Type to define the denominations. On the Tender Type properties for "Cash" type tenders, there is a "denominations" button - click that, then enter the names and values for your denominations and the calculator on the open/close window will start displaying them.
