Notes on Posting Registers
When you defined your Register Codes (see Setting Up Your Registers), you defined a GL Over/Short account where any differences between actual receipts and recorded receipts will post. If Point of Sale is not integrated to General Ledger, a warning message appears when you save the Sales Balance Point of Sale Register window that reminds you the cash over/shorts are not recorded to a General Ledger account.
Cash amounts post at the conversion rates in place at the time you balance the register. These conversion rates might differ from those in place at the time you tendered the transaction, and could also differ from those at the time you post the transactions. If there is a difference between the currency conversion rate at the time you balance the register and the rate at the time of the transaction, a Foreign Exchange Credit is posted with the difference. This amount will post to the account specified as the Exchange Gain/Loss in the Sales Point of Sale Preferences window.
