Cash shifts and drawer reconciliation

A cash shift is the open/close cycle of your cash drawer. Opening a shift lets the register take cash; closing it counts the drawer and checks the money against what the system expected. Find it under Cash Shifts in the sidebar.

Open a shift

1. Start the shift

   From Cash Shifts (or the shift bar on the register), open a new shift and enter your starting float — the cash already in the drawer at the start.

2. Ring up cash sales

   With the shift open, Cash and Split payments are enabled at the register. Each cash sale adds to the drawer's expected total.

Record cash movements

Money moves in and out of the drawer for reasons other than sales — a supplier paid in cash, change picked up from the bank, petty cash out. Record these as cash movements (paid-in / paid-out) during the shift so the expected total stays accurate.

Count and close

1. Open the close dialog

   When the shift ends, start Count & close.

2. Count the drawer

   Enter the counted cash by denomination. The dialog tallies it for you.

3. Review the variance

   Randvu compares your counted total against the expected total (starting float + cash sales + paid-in − paid-out) and shows the variance — over, short, or balanced.

4. Close

   Confirm to close the shift. It's now a closed record in your history.

The reconciliation hub

The Cash Shifts page is a reconciliation hub: an open-shift summary at the top and a history table below. Filter shifts by balanced, over, short, or flagged (variance past your threshold) to spot drawers that need a second look, and export the history when you need it for the books.

Where to go next

• Ring up a sale — taking cash and split payments.
• Transactions, refunds, and voids — the sales behind the drawer total.
