Cash management helps you track the cash float in your register: adding or removing cash for change, safe drops, or drawer counts. This guide explains how to use Cash Management in the Tracksales POS register.

1. Enabling Cash Management

Cash management must be enabled at the organization level:

  1. Go to Settings → Preferences → Sales.
  2. Find Cash Management and enable it.
  3. Save your settings. The Cash Management option will appear in the sales sidebar.

2. Accessing Cash Management

From the sales sidebar (when a register is open), click Cash Management. You must have a register open to use this feature.

3. Adding Cash

Add cash to the drawer when:

  • You need more change for customers.
  • You are starting a shift with additional float.
  • You are replenishing the drawer from a safe or till.

How to add: Enter the amount and select the reason (e.g. "Change fund", "Float replenishment"). The amount is recorded in the audit log and the running cash total is updated.

4. Removing Cash (Safe Drop)

Remove cash when:

  • You are dropping excess cash into the safe.
  • You are closing out part of the float for bank deposit.

How to remove: Enter the amount and reason (e.g. "Safe drop", "Bank deposit"). The system records the removal and updates the cash balance.

5. Cash Audit Log

The Cash Management page shows an audit log of all cash movements:

  • Additions — When cash was added and by whom.
  • Removals — Safe drops and other cash-outs.
  • Initial float — The opening amount when the register was opened.

Use this log for reconciliation and to identify discrepancies.

6. Reconciliation Tips

  • Perform regular safe drops to limit cash in the drawer.
  • Compare the expected cash total (from the log) with the physical count when closing.
  • Investigate any overages or shortages in the audit log.
