What Is a Cash Pickup?

A cash pickup records money removed from a register drawer during an open shift. It reduces expected drawer cash without treating the removal as a sale, refund, or expense.

Pickups are especially useful during busy seasons, high-volume days, or any time a drawer holds more cash than store policy allows.

The pickup record identifies the amount and employee and can include a note and receipt, creating accountability for money transferred from the drawer to a safe, manager, or other approved destination.
