Register Movements
This page explains what register movements are and how they affect the open register session.
What Register Movements Are
Section titled “What Register Movements Are”Register movements are the record of physical cash that enters or leaves the register during a session beyond sales.
They are separate from POS sales, tabs, and payment records. Each movement is tied to the open register session and to the team profile that performed the action.
Movement Types
Section titled “Movement Types”| Movement | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Petty Cash Out | Out | Cash taken for an incidental business purchase |
| Petty Cash Return | In | Change returned from a petty cash incident |
| Tip Payout | Out | Server tip collection from the register |
| Customer Refund | Out | Cash refunded to a customer |
| Remove Float | Out | Excess cash removed to reset the register float |
| Add Float | In | Cash added to restore or increase the register float |
How Register Movements Affect End of Day
Section titled “How Register Movements Affect End of Day”Register movements are included in the end-of-day expected cash calculation alongside sales.
Cash taken from the register reduces the expected closing cash. Cash returned or added increases it.
See Acqui POS: End of Day for the full end-of-day breakdown.
