Till Management enables Users to view the tills that are currently open as well as enter in actual cash amounts and compare those to their expected cash on hand. These amounts are based on the transactions entered in the POS that are marked as paid in cash. Every 15 minutes, R365 will poll the current till data from the POS so that Managers can count and enter in actual cash for closed tills throughout the day.


To ensure cash amounts are within an allowable variance, Admin Users can set till, deposit, and daily deposit thresholds from the Till Management Settings. Over/short amounts that are outside of the set variance threshold will be displayed in red to alert Users of a potential counting issue. Additional alerts are listed throughout the Till Management page to ensure all entries are accurately entered and all tasks are completed.


Deposit slips that are completed in Till Management will then be updated on its corresponding unapproved Daily Sales form.
