Abschöpfungen müssen in der Regel bis zu einem bestimmten festgelegten Zeitpunkt durchgeführt werden.
Dabei werden sie in AS@R eingegeben.
Auf der Kassiererabrechnung sollen die Zeiten vermerkt werden, wann eine Abschöpfung vorgenommen wurde.
Die Angabe auf der Abrechnung erleichtert den Bereichsleitern die Überprüfung, ob die Abschöpfungen zum richtigen Zeitpunkt durchgeführt wurden.
Maybe emptying???
Any help much appreciated...TIA Stephen

Skim off the till
The till is skimmed off when a certain amount has been reached in the register, orat specific time intervals (permitting that it is necessary). This is done in order to aviod having too much cash in the store, but still enough on hand to conduct business. I find skim the till here a bit misleading, because it is also a slang expression for stealing money from your employer!

I find skim better than empty, because the register is not technically "emptied".

: Ouch, there is a difference between "skimming off the till" and "skimming the till". One is a felony, the other one is a duty.

: In a way, yes. However, a certain amount of cash must remain in the till at all times to be able to give change. The average amount is about 300 with specific numbers of tens, twenties, coins, etc. Don't know why Stephen doesn't like the term "skim" :-)
