Manual transaction in ImaCash

The manual transaction allows you to create an operation directly from ImaCash when it does not arrive automatically from the POS/POS or when the establishment needs to record a timely payment or refund. It is a feature that must be used with care, as it can affect cash balance, reporting, and transaction history.

Responsible use

When to use a manual transaction

Use this option only when it is necessary to register an operation from ImaCash.

  • A sale did not arrive from the POS/POS.
  • A timely payment needs to be recorded.
  • The POS/POS is temporarily unavailable.
  • A manager indicates that the operation must be recorded manually.
  • An authorized refund is required.

Access to Manual Transaction

To start the process, press Manual transaction in the main bar of ImaCash.

When clicked, ImaCash first displays a window to select the user who will perform the operation.

Window Select a user.
User

Select user

Choose the correct user before continuing.

The operation will be associated with that user, so it is important not to register manual transactions with an account that does not correspond.

If the user does not appear or you do not have access, consult with a person in charge.

Traceability

Why it matters

The manual transaction affects the cash history, reports and subsequent review of operations. That is why it must be associated with the correct user.

Manual transaction screen

After selecting the user, ImaCash opens the [user] manual transaction window.

Place capture here
Admin Manual Transaction or Vane Manual Transaction window.

Amount: amount you want to register.

Paid: amount that has already been paid or processed.

Rest: pending amount.

Numeric keypad: to enter the quantity.

Concept: field to describe the reason for the operation.

Receipt options: print, do not print or print receipt with copy.

Payment: to record a manual payment.

Refund: to make a return.

Cancel: to exit without completing the operation.

Amount

Enter the amount

Enter the exact amount using the numeric keypad.

Before continuing, check that the amount matches the sale, ticket or indication of the person responsible. An incorrect amount can generate cash differences.

If you make a mistake, use the delete key or the C button to correct.

Concept

Add concept

The Concept field is used to leave a brief explanation of the operation. Use it so that it is easy to understand later why the manual transaction was created.

  • Sale not received from POS.
  • Authorized punctual collection.
  • Refund authorized.
  • Regularization indicated by person responsible.

Avoid generic concepts like “various” or “adjustment” if they don't explain the real reason.

Proof

Choose proof

Before executing the operation, select if you want to print receipt. The appropriate option depends on the establishment's procedure.

  • Print receipt.
  • Do not print receipt.
  • Print receipt + copy.
manual collection

Pay

Use Payment when you want to register a manual collection.

Depending on the current configuration, this action can be executed without asking for additional authentication after the user has been selected.

After clicking Payment, ImaCash can start the payment flow or display the corresponding message depending on the machine status and installed configuration.

Return

Refund

Use Refund when you need to return cash to the customer or record a return.

This action may ask for additional user authentication, because ImaCash treats it as a sensitive operation related to returns or credits.

If you do not have permissions to refund, ImaCash may prevent the operation or request an authorized user.

Operation result

When the operation completes, ImaCash displays a result screen. In the case of a return, you can show:

  • Ordered amount.
  • Amount paid.
  • Returned amount.
  • Cash entered.
  • Cash dispensed.
  • Detail of bills or coins delivered.
  • Accept button.

Review the result before accepting, especially if the operation involved the delivery of cash.

Difference between Payment and Refund

Do not use Refund to correct a sale if you are not clear about the reason or if it is not authorized by the establishment.

Action When to use it
Pay To register a manual charge.
Refund To return cash or register an authorized return.
Permissions

Necessary permissions

Access to Manual Transaction and especially Refund may depend on the user's permissions.

  • Allow or block manual transactions.
  • Request login for returns.
  • Limit maximum returns.
  • Allow returns without login up to a certain amount.
  • Prevent refunds to unauthorized users.

If an action does not appear, is blocked, or requires authentication, it may be due to your security settings.

Facility

What may vary depending on installation

The manual transaction may behave differently depending on:

  • User permissions.
  • Cash machine installed.
  • Integrated POS/POS.
  • Configuration of receipts.
  • Return limits.
  • Active modules.
  • Internal policy of the establishment.

If an option does not appear, it does not necessarily mean that there is an error.

Incidents

Common errors or situations

Before repeating an operation, check if it has already been created or if it appears pending.

  • The Manual Transaction button does not appear.
  • The user does not have sufficient permissions.
  • The amount entered is not valid.

Recommendation

Before confirming

Before clicking Pay or Refund, check:

  • That you selected the correct user.
  • That the operation is not duplicated in the POS/POS.
  • That the amount is correct.
  • That the concept explains the reason.
  • That you chose the proof option correctly.
  • That cash machine is available.
