Cash Out Reporting

Lottery Payout cash out actions reflect on the reporting called Cash Out Details By Employee, which is available on both POS & LBM reporting. Required comment for the reason helps with locating the exact reason (in this case lottery winner) for the cash out action that has been completed. Additionally, it reflects employee name and cash out amount.
