Till Count

The Till Count page helps you count the cash in your till, compare the amount counted against HirePOS records, and complete your daily till cashup.

HirePOS calculates the expected till balance from the opening balance (till float), payments received and cash expenses. As you enter the quantity of each note and coin, the Counted totals are automatically calculated and compared with the Calculated totals in HirePOS.

Important: Till Count uses the built-in Till account in Setup > Bank Accounts. Payments that need to be included in the till count should be allocated to this account.

Till counts are typically completed at the end of the day.

1. Click the Till Count tile/button from the Home or Reminders screen..

2. Check the Date/Time From and Till Count Date/Time. Use Yesterday or Today when required.

3. If your account uses branches, select the appropriate Branch, then confirm the Staff member completing the count.

4. Enter the quantity of each note and coin in the till. HirePOS automatically calculates the Total Notes, Total Coins, and other counted totals.

5. Check the Opening Balance (Till Float) and update it if required. The value is retained as your till float setting for future counts.

6. Compare the Counted and Calculated columns. These include Cash Received, Cash Expenses, Total Cash in Till, EFTPOS Received, Closing Balance (Inc Float) and Total Till Takings. Any differences are highlighted to help identify discrepancies. 7. If cheque payments are displayed, select the cheques that should be included in the till count.

7. Click Save & Complete when you are ready to finalise the till count.

If the counted closing balance does not match the calculated balance, HirePOS displays the difference before completion. You can recount the till or record the difference as a Till Shortage or Till Overage.

After completing the till count, HirePOS opens the Till Cashup report.

If you are not ready to complete the count, click Continue Later. HirePOS saves the till count as in progress so it can be resumed later.

Select Cash Received, Cash Expenses, Cheques Received, or EFTPOS Received on the Till Count page to review the transactions used in the relevant calculations.

You can also use:

• Daily Takings Report — opens the Daily Takings report for the selected day and branch.

• Recent Till Cashups — displays previous till cashups for the selected branch.

Using Till Count regularly helps you reconcile daily takings, identify cash shortages or overages, and maintain accurate till records.
