# Cash Management: Open, Track, and Balance Your Register

> Learn how to open your cash drawer, automatically track cash sales, log manual adjustments, and close your register at end of day.

Cash management in Munchi POS gives you full visibility into the physical cash flowing through your register — from the moment you open the drawer in the morning to the final count at close. Every cash payment is tracked automatically, and you can log manual additions or removals at any time to keep your records accurate.

## Open the Cash Drawer

You must open the cash drawer before you can start accepting cash payments for the day.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Cash Management">
    In your POS, go to the **Cash Management** tab, or select **Record cash** from the POS tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the cash drawer">
    Tap **Open cash drawer**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your starting balance">
    Count the cash currently in your register and enter that amount as your opening balance.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Tap **Confirm** to begin tracking cash for the day.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  You must open the cash drawer before you can take any cash payments. Skipping this step will prevent cash transactions from being recorded correctly.
</Note>

## Automatic Cash Tracking During Sales

Once your drawer is open, you don't need to do anything extra to track cash sales. Every time a customer pays with cash, the POS automatically updates the cash balance to reflect the new expected total in your register. This keeps your records accurate throughout the day without any manual input.

## Manual Adjustments

If you need to add or remove cash from the register outside of a regular sale — for example, to make change or move cash to a safe — you can log that adjustment manually.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Cash Management">
    Open the **Cash Management** section in your POS.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose an action">
    Select **Put cash in** if you are adding cash, or **Take cash out** if you are removing cash.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the amount">
    Type in the amount of cash you are adding or removing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a reason">
    Choose the appropriate reason for the adjustment from the available options.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the adjustment">
    Tap **Confirm**. The POS will immediately update the expected cash total.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Close the Cash Drawer

At the end of your shift or business day, closing the drawer lets you reconcile your expected cash balance against the actual amount in the register.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Cash Management">
    Open the **Cash Management** section in your POS.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Close cash drawer">
    Tap **Close cash drawer** to begin the closing process.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Count your physical cash">
    Manually count all the cash in your register.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the counted amount">
    Input the total you counted into the POS. The system will compare this against the expected balance and flag any discrepancies.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Close the drawer">
    Tap **Close drawer** to finalise the session.
  </Step>
</Steps>
