Cash Out
This page covers the Cash Out workflow in Acqui POS.
Cash Out is not the same as Cash Off.
Starting a Cash Out
Section titled “Starting a Cash Out”Cash Out can be reached from two places:
- From the Tab Summary right rail, choose Cash Out.
- From the full-screen Payment surface, open the overflow menu (three-bar icon, top right of the header) and choose Cash Out. The payment method tiles, tip field, and tendered/change summary are hidden and replaced by a single Cash Out Amount field with an optional notes input.
Cash Out is disabled on the payment screen while partial split-payment legs are still pending, so receipt history is not muddled. Submitting records the cash-out as a line on the tab attributed to the active server.
The same overflow menu exposes Split Tab and Remove Items, which return to the Order workspace in the matching edit mode rather than duplicating those controls on the payment screen.
What Cash Out Means
Section titled “What Cash Out Means”- Cash Out is used when a customer receives cash from a card payment.
- Cash Out can also be used when a customer receives cash but adds it to their tab.
Operational Rules
Section titled “Operational Rules”- On split tab payments, Cash Out only happens when the balance is settled.
- If Cash Out is needed before settlement, add the Cash Out to the tab beforehand or perform a separate Cash Out workflow if supported by the transaction flow.
- Cash Out is excluded from refunds.
- Cash Out is excluded from split tip calculations.
