Financial Transaction Manager Dashboard

Introduction

The Financial Transaction Manager is the central hub for all cashier and finance operations. It organises tools into tabbed sections so cashiers, supervisors, and finance staff can quickly access the operations relevant to their role. The dashboard view shows the cashier's current shift status, drawer balance, and quick-action buttons.

Navigation

Main Menu → Financial Transaction Manager

Dashboard Overview

When you open the Financial Transaction Manager, the top of the page shows:

Panel Information Shown
Shift Status Whether a shift is currently open, and the shift start time
Drawer Balance Current drawer balance (total and by payment method)
