FOR STORE SUPERVISORS AND CASHIER LEADS

How the workflow works

  1. 01

    Open the shift

    Record the opening float for the cashier and terminal cash-control period.

  2. 02

    Record drawer activity

    Record cash in and cash out as cash movements with the required context.

  3. 03

    Close and reconcile

    Enter counted cash to record the result and variance. Closing does not correct or erase a variance.

Use this workflow with the right context.

  • Record the opening float; it is not sales revenue.
  • Use a cash movement for cash in or cash out.
  • Compare expected drawer cash with counted cash before closing.

Confirmed capabilities

Cashier shifts

Track the terminal cash-control period from open to close.

Cash movements

Record cash in and cash out separately from sales.

Terms and prerequisites

Does closing a shift fix a variance?

No. Closing records the counted amount and variance; it does not change the cash ledger.

What is the difference between an X and Z reading?

An X reading is in progress. A Z reading is the final, immutable close-shift record.
