  5. Processing Returned Checks • Returned checks/bad checks must be backed out using the same process for posting payments • Menu path for un-posting payments: • CFM Cashier Functions Menu • CLK Cashier Action Screen • Patient: Account #, Register #, or SSN • P Post Payment • T Today’s Date • Type of Payment: Check • Amount of Payment to be reversed using a ( - ) before the amount is entered • A new Invoice and Receipt (I&R) must be generated and sent to the patient.

  6. Dining Hall Collections • Dining Hall Collections / Cash Sale of Meals • Collections must be turned into the MSA Officer at the end of the meal being collected. Evening meals may be turned in the following morning. Weekend meals must be turned in Monday morning (or Tuesday morning following a Monday holiday) • Menu path for posting Dining Hall collections: • CFM Cashier Functions Menu • DHE Dining Hall Collections Entry

  7. Reconciling Dining Hall Collections • Various methods/systems are used throughout DoD MTFs for collecting Dining Hall collections. Two of the most common are: • Tickets sold to customers – All tickets should be turned into the MSA Office to be totaled and compared to the amount collected and turned in by each cashier • Cash Registers – All cash registers must have an “audit” tape that contains the total of sales. “Audit” tapes should be turned into the MSA office and compared to the amount collected and turned in by each cashier —Continued—

  8. Reconciling Dining Hall Collections • When the cashiers bring their collections to the MSA office, they should hand in the cash box, including the initial change • The MSA office should count the money in the cash box in front of each cashier, taking out the amount of the change fund first, the remaining amount should equal the amount collected for the meal • Each cashier must be provided a receipt for the amount collected for the meal. If the cashiers are required to turn in their change fund, they should be provided a separate receipt. • All monies collected, including overages, must be posted in CHCS to Dining Hall collections

  9. Overages and Shortages • Once meal tickets or audit tapes are received and compared with what was actually collected, any overages or shortages should be recorded • A spreadsheet should be maintained to capture any overages or shortages for each meal, by day and cashier • Excessive overages or shortages can be reason for disciplinary action, and possibly removal from cashier duties • Overage/shortage reports should be maintained with the monthly MSA reports
