Create the payments and add them to the drivers batch for that day

Finalising and creating the payments adds the payments to that drivers batch for the day (or creates one if one does not exist already.

Open the Payment Batch and then do the Cash Count

Review the payment journals that were created

Perform the first count, have a second person do a second count.

First count.  If missing or extra cash then create a cash discrepancy journal.  Save first count.  Have another person do second count and enter any petty cash they plan to keep on hand.

When ready to go to the bank

Multiple locked batches can be put together into a single bank deposit.  ie.. If multiple drivers hand you a bag of cash for the day then you would count and check each drivers batch, lock it and the put all the bags together into a pool of money to take to the bank.
