Cash sessions (shifts)

Control cash custody: the attendant opens a session and the till balance at that moment is recorded as the opening float (never typed by hand); at close the cash is physically counted. The difference between counted and book is posted as a movement and an entry to the cash over/short account in the name of whoever closed it — the balance is never edited by hand to match the box.

Common workflows

  1. 1

    Open a session

    Pick the till and press "Open session".

  2. 2

    Close by count

    Enter the counted amount (or count by denomination) and press "Close". Any variance appears in the cash variance by cashier and period report.

  3. 3

    Handover

    When the attendant changes, choose "hand over to" during closing; the session closes and the receiver's session opens in one step.

Messages you may see — and what to do

  • "The till has an open session"

    Only one open session per box; close it or hand it over first.

  • "Day … is closed for this box"

    A movement dated on a day whose session is closed needs the closed-day permission and is logged, or date it today.

  • "Requires approval"

    A variance above the approval threshold in settings is sent to the approver; re-close with the same count once approved.

  • "Denominations do not equal the counted amount"

    Correct the count.

  • Foreign currency boxes

    Sessions are not available for these at present.
