Float Count Entry/Starting Bank Entry

USA - References to "Float" are substituted with "Starting Bank" - Click here for more information

Tip!

When the Windows "Country or region" setting is set to USA, all references to "Float" will be substituted with "Starting Bank".

Starting Bank and Float perform the same function, with the only difference being the name/descriptor depending on your locality or region.

The location of the Windows "Country or region" setting can vary depending on the version of Windows.

In Windows 11, it can be set by going to Settings > Time & Language > Country or region.

 

 

The Float Count Entry function is used to enter a float into the drawer before any sales takes place.

This ensures the staff are responsible for the totals in the drawer before the shift starts.

If you have not used this function before, you will need to perform an End of Shift to activate the Float Count Entry for the first time.

When the Clerk first logs into the POS Screen, the Float Count Entry will display.

Either enter the total value for the float, or use the denomination values to enter each in correctly.

If the same amount of money is always placed in the Float, a Default Float Entry amount can be set so that it doesn't have to be manually entered each time.

If the Yes/No Option Confirm Float Count Entry is enabled, you can be prompted to confirm the entry.

A receipt will print to the receipt printer which can be placed in the drawer to confirm the staff member counted the drawer properly.

When an End of Shift function is run, POS will reduce what it expects from the Cash Tender to the value of the Float Count.
