Reconcile the money in your drawer with the work recorded during the shift.

WHERE TO FIND IT

POS → Shift / Cash drawer

Step by step

  1. Count opening cash and enter it when starting the shift.

  2. Record cash in and cash out with reasons. Use X report for an interim check.

  3. Before closing, sync pending sales and count all drawer cash. Enter the actual count.

  4. Review the variance, explain any difference and confirm Close shift. Keep the Z report.

Cash in, cash out and supplier payments

  1. Use Cash in / out from the cashier More menu or shift drawer panel. Select the direction, amount and a reason such as float top-up, bank deposit or expense; enter who authorised it.
  2. Choose Expense for genuine petty spending so the operating expense and cash movement are linked. Use Pay supplier for invoice settlement, choose the supplier and allocate the amount to invoices.
  3. Check the shift movement history for duplicate entries. Card-machine and LankaQR takings do not belong in the physical cash count.

X report, Z report and cash variance

  1. Run an X report to inspect the open shift without closing it. Expected cash reflects opening float, cash transactions and recorded drawer movements.
  2. Count actual notes and coins at closing. Enter that count, review over or short variance, choose a cash-mismatch reason and add an explanation. Do not alter sales just to force a zero difference.
  3. Close once the review is complete and keep the Z report. Use Shift history to review cashier sessions and their movements later.
