How do I manage my unit's storefront site cash?

When Scouts record cash sales at a storefront, the cash amount will be listed as due from the site, not as due from the Scout.

At the end of their shift, Scouts have two options to settle the amount due:

1. Cash to Credit: Scouts can use this feature to pay the amount due.
2. Turn in the Cash: Scouts can give the cash to their leader. For storefront sales, this may mean placing the cash in the designated cash box, which will be returned to the leader. Always follow your leader’s specific instructions on handling cash.

As the leader, you have two options to settle the amount due:

1. Cash to Credit: Leaders can use this feature to pay the amount due when using the Closeout Guide.
2. Record the Cash Collected: You can keep track of any cash collected from the storefronts under Storefront Management. 
   1. Go to Manage Storefronts™.
   2. Find the store you'd like to manage cash for.
   3. Click the down arrow beneath the store.
   4. Select 'Manage Cash'.
   5. Select 'Cash Due from Site' to record the cash received.
   6. Click 'Submit'.

Note: prior to your storefront you can input your starting cask by clicking 'Cash Adjustments' and entering the amount. The first adjustment on any storefront becomes the starting cash. 

How to make a correction

In the example above, if you mistakenly enter $105 collected instead of the correct amount of $100, the system does not allow deletions and entering $100 again would add to the total, not replace the incorrect entry.

To correct the mistake, you have two options:

1. Enter -$5 in the 'Cash Due from Site' field 
   • This reduces the amount collected, thus adjusting the overreported amount. 
2. Enter $5 in the 'Cash Adjustments' field
   • A positive cash adjustment is subtracted from the total collected or added to the Cash Due from Site. In our example a +$5 cash adjustment will balance out the error.
   • FYI, a negative cash adjustment is subtracted from the Cash Due from Site.
