Shift Closing Workflow
Count physical cash in the drawer, enter denominations, and verify exact cash variances before closing the shift register.
End-of-Day (EOD) Shift Cash Reconciliation Matrix
| Reconciliation Step | Source Record | Calculation Rule | Acceptance Tolerance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening Float Cash | Supervisor Cash Count | Base Starting Cash Balance | Zero Tolerance ($0.00 exact match). |
| Cash Sales Revenue | POS Closed Invoices | Sum of Tendered Cash Payments | System-calculated immutable total. |
| Cash Drops / Payouts | Mid-Shift Expense Vouchers | Deducted Vault Transfers | Requires signed physical drop receipt. |
| Expected Drawer Balance | System Ledger | Float + Cash Sales - Payouts | Reconciled with physical end-of-shift count. |
| Cash Over / Short Variance | Audit Drawer Log | Actual Physical Count - Expected | Overages credited; shortages posted to variance expense. |
Note: Shift reconciliation logs cashier accountability and highlights cash discrepancies.
