Cash Handling

What Cash Handling covers

The Cash Handling section is where you count cash, reconcile drawers, and record bank deposits — the daily money trail for the store.

Safe counts

A safe count records how much cash is in the safe. Counting on a consistent schedule — typically open and close — keeps the cash trail tight and makes discrepancies easy to spot early.

Drawer reconciliation

Drawer reconciliation compares the cash in a register against what the system expects based on sales. The difference is the over/under:

• Over (more cash than expected) shows in green.
• Under (less cash than expected) shows in red.

Reconcile each drawer at the end of its shift so any gap is traced while the shift is still fresh.

Bank deposits

Record bank deposits as you make them. When you upload a deposit slip or receipt photo, it is stored securely so the deposit has a verifiable record attached.

Daily flow

1. Open — count the safe and set up drawers.
2. During the day — keep registers within their cash limits.
3. Close — reconcile each drawer, recount the safe, and record the deposit.

Tip: A small, consistent over/under is normal. A sudden jump is the signal to investigate — catch it the same day.
