First, the user must balance the cash drawer. The Final Cash Balance window displays the cash drawer amount. After entering the amounts for each denomination and currency, ReCaps will display the resulting Over / Short amount.

Second, the user must "drop" any excess money from the cash drawer. The excess amount is the amount contained in the drawer over the Starting Cash amount. The "amount to be dropped" displayed is calculated to be the Cash Drawer amount minus the Starting Cash amount.

Third, any item lists, which have accumulated, have to be printed and then cleared. For example, if there are still checks in the drawer that have not been dropped, then they must be printed and cleared (or dropped).

Fourth, the cashier’s final report is prepared. The cashier must print the final report.

Finally, after each step has been completed, the current batch is closed and the Sign Out screen is displayed.

At any point during the close batch process the cashier may "cancel". For example a mistake may be discovered during final cash balancing and corrections are necessary before closing. The cashier can return to the process by again selecting Cashier / Close Batch and then choosing the appropriate step.
