Cash Reports ------------ Cash reports are useful for quickly getting information about money that your library has collected from patrons. This can be helpful in a few different scenarios, such as: . Reconciling a cash drawer at the end of the day. . Seeing how popular a specific payment type is (perhaps when evaluating a food-for-fines program). To use the cash reports, . Under the _Administration_ menu, choose _Local Administration_. . Click _Cash reports_. . Select the time period and library you are interested in. This interface defaults to showing payments accepted during the current day. . Click _Submit_. [TIP] ==== You can click on the names of columns to sort the reports. ==== [TIP] ==== You need the _VIEW_TRANSACTION_ permission to view these reports. ==== [NOTE] ==== These payments are divided into two different types: _Desk payments_ -- in which a staff member simply accepted a credit card, check, or cash payment -- and _User payments_ -- in which a staff member had to make a specific decision about whether to accept a payment of goods or work; or forgave or granted credit to a particular patron. ====
