Daily cash and bank
Daily is the first group in the Banking & cash menu. It holds the five screens for the money that moves every day. They cover till cash waiting to be sorted, expenses paid now, transfers between your accounts, other money in and out, and counting the cash in a drawer. This page only shows you around. It posts nothing to your accounts. Each screen has its own page, linked below.

What it’s for
Section titled “What it’s for”- Start the day’s money work from one place. The menu under the page title has three groups: Daily, Cards and cheques, and Accounts.
- Opening Banking & cash does not land on a Daily screen. It opens Cash and bank accounts, which is in the Accounts group. Choose Daily to reach the screens below.
- Each menu entry shows a short note under its name. The note is a reminder of what the screen is for.
- The other groups are covered on their own pages: Card payouts and Cheques in Cards and cheques, and Cash and bank accounts, Cashbook and Reconciliation in Accounts.
The five screens
Section titled “The five screens”| Screen | What it’s for | The action you start there | Where to read more |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash review | Sort the cash taken from or put into the till. Cash that nobody has sorted yet is Pending review. Once sorted it is Classified. A cancelled movement is Cancelled | Open a movement to say what it was for | Cash review |
| Expenses | Costs you paid at once, from a cash or bank account | Record an expense | Expenses |
| Transfers | Move money between your own cash and bank accounts | New transfer | Transfers |
| Money in or out | Owner money, bank charges, interest, loans, and the starting balance of an account | Record, and on the Opening balance tab, Record opening balance | Money in or out |
| Cash counts | Check the cash in a drawer against what your books expect, and keep the count | Start cash count | Cash counts |
On Cash review, the page says that sorting a movement never moves the cash again. The cash already left or entered the drawer at the till. Sorting only records what it was for.
What gets posted
Section titled “What gets posted”Nothing is posted from this page. Choosing a screen in the menu changes no accounts. What each screen posts when you finish an entry:
| Screen | Posts? |
|---|---|
| Cash review | Posts The amount moves out of Pending POS Cash to the purpose you choose. The drawer’s cash does not move again. See Cash review |
| Expenses | Posts The cost goes up and the cash or bank account goes down. See Expenses |
| Transfers | Posts One account goes down and the other goes up. See Transfers |
| Money in or out | Posts One entry with two lines: the cash or bank account, and a fixed account for the reason you pick. See Money in or out |
| Cash counts | Only a difference A count that matches your books posts nothing. A shortage or an overage posts one entry between the drawer’s cash account and Cash Over and Short. See Cash counts |
Where it shows up
Section titled “Where it shows up”| Place | What changes |
|---|---|
| Menu under the page title | The group you are in is marked, and so is the screen inside it |
| Address of the page | Each screen keeps its own address, so a bookmark opens the same screen again |
| Cashbook | An entry that moves a cash or bank account appears as a movement of that account |
What the app blocks
Section titled “What the app blocks”| Situation | What you see |
|---|---|
| Your role may not see Banking & cash | Banking & cash is not in the left menu |
| A custom role without the right to see transfers | Money in or out is not in the Daily group. The other four screens are listed |
The menu offers Cash review, Expenses, Transfers and Cash counts to everyone who can open Banking & cash. A screen can still refuse an action your role does not allow. Each screen’s own page lists its messages.
Who can do it
Section titled “Who can do it”| Action | Admin | Manager | Cashier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open Banking & cash and choose a Daily screen | Yes | Yes | No |
| See Money in or out in the menu | Yes | Yes | No |
These are the standard roles. Your administrator can give a custom role each action separately in Settings › Users & access. What each role may do on a screen is on that screen’s page.
Fixing a mistake
Section titled “Fixing a mistake”- You cannot find a screen. Check the other two groups in the menu. Card payouts and Cheques are under Cards and cheques. Cashbook and Reconciliation are under Accounts.
- An entry is wrong. Go to the screen where you made it, find the entry, and use its own correction. Each screen’s page says how.
- A missing menu entry. Ask your administrator to check your role in Settings › Users & access.
