POS Accounts Tab

Prev Next

In Beta

This feature is in beta. Contact your CSM to learn more.

The POS Accounts tab provides a centralized workspace for reviewing and managing account mappings imported from POS integrations. It displays Sales Accounts, Payment Type Accounts, Jobs, and Paid-Out Types, and serves as the primary tool for ensuring POS activity is correctly mapped to GL accounts and required fields in Restaurant365. Accurate mapping is essential for posting POS data to the General Ledger and for producing accurate financial and operational reporting.

Unmapped POS accounts appear in the Unmapped view and may cause incomplete or misclassified data during imports.

From this tab, users can:

  • Map POS Accounts

  • View POS Accounts

POS Accounts Table - Columns

Column

Description

Type

The type of POS Account. Options include:

  • Payment Type

  • Sales Account

  • Job Title

  • Paid Out Type

Name

The name of the POS account, as entered in the POS.

GL Account

The GL Account is mapped to the POS Account.

Sales account type

Defines how each sales account is categorized and posted to the general ledger (GL).

Options include:

  • Standard (none): Used for all sales accounts that do not belong to another specific type.

  • Catering deposit: Used for funds received from a customer as a deposit for a catering job. Typically mapped to a Catering Deposits liability account to track unearned revenue. After the event, an invoice is issued that debits Catering Deposits and credits Catering Sales.

  • Catering item: Used for POS items associated with catering events or jobs. These items can be generic or specific and are typically mapped to a Catering Sales revenue account.

  • Tip: Used for tip amounts recorded in the POS. Because these funds are collected on behalf of staff, they are recorded as a liability. Typically mapped to a Tips Payable liability account.

  • Tax: Used for tax amounts recorded on sales tickets in the POS system. Multiple sales accounts can use the Tax type.

  • Cash refund: Used for POS transactions that refund money to customers. Typically mapped to the same GL account as the related Payment type account (for example, an Undeposited Funds asset account or a cash account).

  • House account payment: Used for POS transactions that record receipt of payment from house account customers, such as those who were previously invoiced and later paid at the restaurant.

  • Gift card: Used to map sales activity related to the issuance or redemption of gift cards.

This column is only included in the Sales view.

Payment group

Defines how each payment type account is categorized for reporting and general ledger (GL) posting. The selected payment group determines how transactions are grouped and recorded in R365.

Options include:

  • Cash: Used for POS payment types that record customer cash payments. Typically mapped to a cash account (for example, Checking – Operating) or Undeposited Funds, representing funds collected but not yet deposited.

  • Catering receivable: Used when a catering sale is recorded without full payment, creating a receivable balance. Typically mapped to a Catering Receivables asset account.

  • Credit card – combined: Used to group multiple credit card tenders (for example, Visa, Mastercard, Discover) into a single deposit for simpler bank reconciliation. Typically mapped to the bank account receiving the deposit or to Undeposited Funds.

  • Credit card – individual: Used for credit card tenders that deposit individually (for example, American Express). Typically mapped to the specific daily deposit bank account or Undeposited Funds.

  • Coupon: Groups coupon payment types for reporting. Typically mapped to a Coupons contra-revenue or expense account. Can optionally be mapped directly to Food Sales for net-sales reporting.

  • Comp: Groups comp payment types for reporting. Typically mapped to a Sales Discounts and Comps contra-revenue or expense account. Can optionally be mapped directly to Food Sales for simplified reporting.

  • Discount: Group discount payment types for reporting. Typically mapped to a Sales Discounts and Comps contra-revenue or expense account. Can optionally be mapped directly to Food Sales for net-sales reporting.

  • Gift card: Used for customer payments made with gift cards. Typically mapped to Unredeemed Gift Cards, a liability account. Revenue is deferred until redemption. When redeemed, the liability is reduced and revenue is recorded for the items sold. Multi-location operators should periodically adjust inter-store liabilities if stores are in separate legal entities.

  • Void: Used for voided POS transactions. Typically mapped to Food Sales or a specific GL account (for example, Wine Sales) depending on the voided item. Represents deleted sales retained for audit purposes. Voids do not affect end-of-day journal entries.

  • P.I.A. (Paid in Advance): Used when a customer deposit is applied as payment. Typically mapped to the same liability account used to record the original deposit.

  • House accounts: Used for sales placed on terms. Typically mapped to an Unbilled House Accounts receivable account. Once invoiced, the balance moves from Unbilled House Accounts to Accounts Receivable.

    • Avoid mapping directly to Accounts Receivable, as this causes duplicate postings and inaccurate aging reports.
