POS Shift Management: How to Identify Cash Drawer Discrepancies

To identify a cash drawer discrepancy at shift closing, calculate the expected balance using the opening float, recorded cash sales, and documented cash payouts or refunds. Count the actual cash and compare it with the expected amount, while reconciling card and other payment methods separately.

If a discrepancy appears, review voids, returns, discounts, expenses, and incorrectly recorded transactions before finalizing the shift.
