Penny Rounding on the POS Register and Reporting in Back Office

This article explains how the Cash Rounding (Penny Rounding) feature works on the Franpos Register, how to configure it, and how rounding transactions are reflected in Back Office reporting.


⚠️ Prerequisites

  • Register Version must be V 6.1.4 or higher

    • Tap the “?” icon in the top-left corner of the Register to verify the version.

  • If your Register is on an older version, update it using the instructions in the Register update article




⚠️ Important: Create a “Rounding” Payment Method

Before enabling Cash Rounding, you must:

  1. Log in to Franpos Back Office.

  2. Create a Custom Payment Method labeled:

    Rounding -      This payment method is required when a customer provides less cash than the total transaction amount.
    If you do not have permission to create custom payment methods, please contact your Corporate office for assistance.














Enabling Cash Rounding on the Register

  1. Open Settings on the Franpos Register.

  2. Enable the following toggles:

    • Enable Cash Rounding

    • Cash Round Up (optional – see explanation below)




Below are the steps on how to handle this case in Two Different Scenarios

Info
When the Shopper Provides Less cash than the Actual Transaction amount.

Example:

Transaction Amount: $9.98
Tendered Amount: $9.95

In this scenario, the system will reflect an outstanding balance of $0.03. The employee should select the Rounding payment method to adjust and complete the transaction.

This information is also found under Reports - Close Day  - Drawer Entry





Alert
If your State or Local Regulations Prohibit Rounding Up - Disable Cash Round Up Toggle 







Example:

Transaction Amount: $9.98
Tendered Amount: $10

Since your store does not want to round up to the nearest $0.05, the system prompts to return $0.05 to the shopper.

  • Cash Rounding On: Rounds to the nearest 5 cents instead of 4 cents.

  • Cash Round Up Off: Returns 5 cents instead of 0.









Example 2 

Transaction Amount: $9.96
Tendered Amount: $10

Since your store does not want to round up to the nearest $0.05, the system prompts to return $0.05 to the shopper.
