About entering cash transactions
Note: Service Receivables features are available only if you purchased the Service Receivables Add-On Module.
In addition to performing service work, some companies sell parts or supplies to customers. For such point-of-sale transactions, it is not necessary to keep records of the customers making the purchases. Because Sage 100 Contractor requires a client number on every service record, use a dummy client to track the sales. Create a client record titled Over-the-Counter Sales.
Important! If a known client makes a purchase for which you will bill later on, do not use the Over-the-counter Sales client. Be sure to use the correct client number.
When a customer makes an over-the-counter purchase, you can enter an invoice and assign it to the Over-the-Counter Sales client. At the end of the day, count out the till and determine the deposit.
In the 3-3-1 Cash Receipts window, you can limit the receipts to the Over-the-Counter Sales client. Your deposit from the till should match the amount displayed in the Deposit Total text box.
Tip: You can use markups and overrides when entering a new cash transaction.
