Retailers can accept various types of payment in exchange for the products and services that they sell. Although cash is the most common form of payment, retailers can also receive payment in the form of checks, cards, or vouchers. In Retail point of sale (POS), cash, credit card receipts, and other payments are processed through a cash office.
You can do the following by using Cash management in Commerce:
- Create a cash account for the selected payment method for each store.
- Use cash journals to post cash transactions and customer payments that are received at a retail POS.
- Aggregate transactions in a statement line when you post a statement. You can aggregate safe drops, bank drops, voucher transactions, remove tender transactions, float entry transactions, income transactions, expense transactions, customer payments, sales transactions, and return transactions.
All transactions that take place in POS are posted using a ledger journal. You can use cash payment journals, customer payment journals, and general journals to create and post the statements. For more information, go to Create, calculate, and post statements for a retail store.
On the Posted statements page, on the Action Pane, you can do the following:
- Go to Inquiries > Cash payment journal to access the cash payment journals that are related to the statement.
- Go to Inquiries > General journal to access the ledger journals that are related to the statement, other than customer payments and cash payments.

Set up parameters for cash operations
You can set up parameters to create and post cash transactions in Commerce. You can use cash payment journals, customer payment journals, or general journals to post sales transactions and payment transactions in the POS. You can aggregate transactions that have the same properties when you post a statement.
Go to Retail and Commerce > Headquarters setup > Parameters > Commerce parameters. In the left pane, click Posting.
In the Posting area, on the Aggregation FastTab, set Tender remove/float to Yes to aggregate the remove tender transactions or float entry transactions that are associated with a statement line when you post the statement. A remove tender transaction is created when you withdraw cash from the POS cash drawer. A float entry transaction is created when you deposit cash in the POS cash drawer.
Activate the individual parameters listed below to aggregate the transactions that are associated with a statement line when you post the statement:
- Bank drop – Aggregate bank transactions.
- Safe drop – Aggregate safe transactions.
- Income/Expense transactions – Aggregate income transactions or expense transactions.
- Voucher transactions – Aggregate voucher transactions.
- Customer payments – Aggregate customer payments.
- Sales and returns – Aggregate sales and returns transactions.
On the Payments FastTab, select a default journal name for the following options:
- Customer payment journal – This journal is used to post customer payments.
- Cash payment journal – This journal is used to post cash payments.
- General journal – This journal is used to post transactions other than cash payments and customer payments.
