The Operator Cash Out report screen can be divided into 3 sections:
- The Operator Cash out.
- The Operator Totals.
- The Transactions Details.
The Operator Cash Out
From this section, the report can be generated based on the following filters:
2. By Operator ID.
3. By type of Transaction: Advance Deposit Transfer (7T), Guest Ledger Balance, Payment, or Revenue.
4. By Category of Payment or Revenue.
5. By Accounting Code.
The Operator Totals
The Operator Total gives the total amount that has been posted by payment category (cash, checks, or credit card) based on the user selected in the Operator Cash Out section above (1).
1. System Total: shows the total amount that was posted in Visual Matrix.
2. Reported: users have to enter here at the end of their shift the total that they have in hand to compare with what has been posted in Visual Matrix.
- For the Cash, the reported will be the amount that is in the draw minus the cash fund that stays in the draw.
- For the Checks, the reported will be the total amount of all checks collected.
- For the Credit Cards, if you are processing through Visual Matrix, the amount will be the one from the System Total field. If you are not processing through Visual Matrix, the amount will come from the end of shift or sub-total tickets generated by your external credit card machine.
3. Over/(Short): will show any discrepancy between the System Total and the Reported.
Each user has to report their own separate total at the end of their shift. The night audit will only check the total reported by each user by choosing ALL in the Operator ID in the Operator Cash Out section (1).
What if someone posts a payment and someone else voids or adjusts it?
What will happen is that user#1 will have a payment on his/her report that has never been taken, and user#2 will have a refund or adjustment that was never really refunded. Each of those reports will offset each other. If this situation occurs, only report exactly what is in the System Total.
The Transaction Details
This section will be a view of the report before it gets printed or exported.
The Operator Cash Out Report
The printed report is divided into 3 sections as follows:
- The Operator Cash Out shows details of each method of payment by accounting code.
- The Operator Cash Out Totals shows the total by accounting code.
- The Totals from the System, Totals Reported and the Delta show any discrepancy between the System Total and the Reported.

3. Amount of the credit or debit posted, amount of the adjustment if not an original posting, Transaction ID of the original posting in case of an adjustment, and Date of the original posting.
If the payment was voided, an X will show. If the payment is a transfer from another room, the original room will show in the column From.
4. ID of the user who posted the payment, the adjustment, or the void and the time it was posted.
5. Total for each accounting code.
