How can I give change while using a check tender?

How can I give change on a check tender from my cash drawer? For instance, at a book fair a parent sends a student with a pre-written check that is over the sale total. Right now the workaround is entering the sale as cash and giving change. But it's will not be an accurate reflection in transactions. Thank you!

Hello @usborneintheusa! That's an interesting practice by the parents. 🤔

I always remembered my parents giving me a $20 dollar bill and saying I had to come back with change. Times have changed!

This is kind of tough, because it will make your reports skewed towards cash sales. Currently there is no way to give change for checks since they're supposed to be exact amounts like a credit card purchase. Right now I think processing these as cash is the best work around for these situations.

We have people write checks for $5 and $10 over very frequently to get cash back so that they may leave a tip. Can we please add something for this in the near future it throws off my count at the end of the day when i give them cash back for tips.
