Till Currency Drawers

Till Currency Drawers define which currencies a till can handle and how each drawer is controlled. Drawer setup is used by teller sessions, POS cash handling, float management, cash counts, till closing, and variance review.

Workspace Reference

Workspace	How Users Reach It	What Users Usually Do There
Till Currency Drawers	Administration -> Financial Setup -> Till Currency Drawer	Create drawers, choose currency, set cash limits, and connect cash-control references.
Tills	Administration -> Financial Setup -> Till	Confirm the parent till, assigned user, business unit, and operating limits.
Currency And Denominations	Administration -> Financial Setup	Confirm the drawer currency is active and countable by denomination.
Cash Operations	Teller or POS workspaces where cash handling is enabled	Open, use, count, close, and reconcile drawer balances.

When To Use Drawers

Use a drawer when a till needs to hold cash in a specific currency. A till that handles multiple currencies should have a separate drawer for each supported currency.

Drawer setup is not just display setup. It controls what users can count, return, close, and reconcile during till operations.

Important Fields

Important drawer fields include:

• Till: the till that owns the drawer, unless the drawer is being created from inside a specific till.
• Currency: the currency held in the drawer.
• Cash Control Account: the finance account or ledger reference used for accounting control where required.
• Minimum Cash Limit: the expected lower threshold for cash held in the drawer.
• Maximum Cash Limit: the expected upper threshold for cash held in the drawer.
• Active: whether the drawer is available for active teller/POS use.

Minimum and maximum limits help users and supervisors identify overfunded or underfunded tills.

Downstream Impact

Drawer setup affects:

• Opening float.
• Cash posting.
• Currency availability in teller sessions.
• Drawer balances.
• Return-float actions.
• Till close counts.
• Variance review.
• Cash-on-hand accounting.

If a drawer is missing, users may not be able to open or close a till correctly for that currency.

Batch Creation

When creating drawers, administrators can add more than one drawer before submitting. Use this when setting up several currencies for the same till or when configuring multiple tills during rollout.

Review the entries before submitting to avoid assigning the wrong currency or cash-control reference.

Common Mistakes

• Creating a till without assigning the currencies it actually handles.
• Assigning a drawer to the wrong till.
• Leaving max limits empty where cash policies require limits.
• Using a finance control reference that does not match the drawer’s currency.
• Keeping inactive currencies available on a live till.

Good Practice

Configure till drawers before teller or POS users begin cash operations. Review drawers whenever a new currency is enabled, a till changes branch, or cash handling policy changes.
