Recording Mid-Session Cash Drops

A Cash Drop records cash added to an active drawer — most often to replenish small bills for making change — so the session's expected balance stays accurate.

1. Recording a Cash Drop

  1. On the POS screen, tap the session menu pill (···).
  2. Tap 💰 Cash Drop.
  3. In the Cash Drop dialog ("Add cash to the drawer"), enter:
    • Amount ($) — required, must be greater than $0.
    • Reason (optional) — free text, e.g. "Change replenishment."
  4. Tap Record.

The drop is logged immediately and reflected in the session's cash math — it adds to the Expected in drawer figure shown in the session menu and in the Close Session / Close My Drawer reconciliation breakdown ("+ Cash drops").

2. Where Drops Show Up Later

  • Session menu (···): the live "Cash in drawer" balance already accounts for any drops recorded so far.
  • Close Session / Close My Drawer: the reconciliation breakdown lists a "+ Cash drops" line (with a count of how many drops were recorded) between "− Cash pulls" and "Expected in drawer."
  • Emailed session report: if you send a session report on close, drops appear the same way in the Cash Drawer section of that email.

In Per Seller cash drawer mode, a drop is recorded against the drawer of whoever records it — it only affects that seller's own expected balance, not the whole team's.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit or delete a cash drop after recording it? No — there's no edit/delete flow. Use the Reason field to document it clearly, since it's a permanent part of that session's cash record.

Should I use a Cash Drop or reopen the session with more opening cash? Use a Cash Drop — opening cash is only set once, when the session (or your individual drawer, in Per Seller mode) is opened. Any cash added afterward should go through a Cash Drop so the reconciliation math stays accurate.
