How Cash Additions, Pickups, and Counts Work Together

Each cash-control action answers a different question:

• Add Cash: Why did the drawer gain physical cash outside normal cash sales?
• Cash Pickup: Why did the drawer lose physical cash before shift close?
• Cash Count: Did the physical cash match the system at this moment?

Every action should be recorded against the correct cash drawer and open shift. At closing, the system can then explain starting cash, cash transactions, additions, pickups, counted cash, and any final variance.
