How do I manage my cash float?

Open your register each day before collecting cash, enter the opening float, and track every movement from Finance > Register.

Updated on July 3, 2026

Go to Finance > Register to see your register's balance and status. If you accept cash, you need to open it each day before collecting: enter the opening float, and if a discrepancy shows up against the expected balance, give a reason. Every movement (sale, withdrawal, deposit, refund) is then listed and filterable.

Open your register

From Finance > Register, the "Open" button asks for the opening float amount, the cash you place in the drawer before your first cash sale of the day. If an expected amount exists (carried over from the previous day) and it doesn't match what you actually count, pick a discrepancy reason from a short list (counting error, unrecorded transaction...) and add a note if needed. This reason stays tracked in the fiscal audit trail, it doesn't block the opening.

As long as the day's register isn't confirmed, a banner reminds you and may block certain cash payments until you confirm it.

Track movements

The movements list shows every entry and exit from your register: cash sales, withdrawals, deposits, refunds, and the opening float itself. You can filter it by movement type to find what you need quickly.

Record a manual movement

Outside of sales (which feed the register automatically), you can record a manual movement from the action panel, for example a withdrawal to go to the bank or a top-up deposit.

Edge cases

You don't accept cash. If cash payments are disabled for your studio, register opening and counting don't appear: these steps don't concern you.

The balance shown doesn't match what you expected. The current balance reflects the day's float as it evolved with movements, not automatically the previous day's closing carryover: check the previous closing if a doubt remains, see How do I run my daily cash register closing (Z report)?.

You have a discrepancy at the end of the day. It's normal to have a small one sometimes: that's exactly the point of the counting step at closing, where you can recount or accept the discrepancy with a tracked reason.
