Cash Management – Float, Withdrawals and Deposits
Record the starting float, deposits and withdrawals so cash movements can be followed during the shift.
Open: POS menu → Växelkassa (cash float). This is available on registers that handle cash and to staff with the required permission.
Three cash movements:
| Choice | Use |
|---|---|
| Växelkassa (float) | Record money in the drawer at the start of the shift |
| Insättning (deposit) | Record additional cash, such as a float top-up |
| Uttag (withdrawal) | Record cash removed during the shift |
Record a movement:
- Select the correct type.
- Enter the amount in kronor.
- Add a useful note, such as “Float from bank”.
- Save and check that the movement appears in the list.
Register the float once per shift. Use Insättning to top it up. After Stäng pass (close shift) or day-end closing, a new shift begins with a new float.
What does Kassasaldo mean?
The balance card in this view sums float + deposits − withdrawals for the current shift. It is not the entire expected cash amount including sales. Use the counting flow below to compare the physical drawer with the expected amount.
Count the drawer:
- Choose Räkna kassa (count cash) for a check during the shift, or Stäng pass when the shift ends.
- Enter the number of notes and coins by denomination.
- Check the counted total and add a note if needed.
- Save. The result shows the counted amount, expected amount and difference.
- If the difference requires approval, a PIN flow appears. Follow the result before continuing.
Räkna kassa records a count without ending the shift. Stäng pass closes the shift; the next shift starts with a new float. Closing a shift does not replace the restaurant's Z report.
Payment methods and cash:
Cash payments and cash refunds affect the physical drawer. Card, Swish, invoices and gift cards do not put notes or coins into it. Loyalty points discount the purchase. Record actual deposits and withdrawals when they happen, including money removed for banking.
Useful routines:
- Count actual cash and investigate differences using the restaurant's procedure.
- Use clear notes for deposits and withdrawals.
- Check the selected register, particularly when several drawers are used.
- Close the day separately through Skapa X/Z (create X/Z) in the POS menu or Bokföring → Dagsavslut (bookkeeping → day-end) in admin.
This feature is part of Vendion POS.
