At the iATS tool context, the ATM cash position sheet is the main report, because it shows the position or balance among the incomes and outcomes of the ATM, in any particular cycle of operation. Usually, for ATMs managed by vault custodian companies as a cash unit, each cycle of operation consists of several days, instead of ATMs managed by branches as a cash unit, each cycle is only one date.
This is the cash position sheet report, in this case for the terminal nbr. 435 and cutoff date 2016-05-04.
This report consists of the several concepts obtained during the operation of the ATM network, which are categorized as incomes ans outcomes. For example, a replenishment is an income, but a debit total taken from the switch TLF is an outcome.
Every concept is obtained from different sources: cash operations on ATM from Electronic Journal, debits total are sumarized from TLF which is supplied by the switch, refunds from Electronic Journal with the status code which show us if the withdrawal was not dispended money.
When there are refunds caused by customer (ex: JAM CAUSED BY CUSTOMER), this situation is solved only by manual way and at the end of cutoff period, the staff must verify cutoff data and if there are enough money on PURGE CASSETTE, and update the refund amount.
In general, one can find that each ATM has a balanced position , incomes = outcomes. But it is possible an unbalanced position, in consequence, one has to create one of these two concepts, a CASH OVERAGE, if income amount is greater than outcome amount, or, at the contrary a CASH SHORTAGE. iATS tool only allows the enregistrement of any of these conceps or items with a trusted role only as a last resort, since the amount of these items will be charged to these cash units.
