Cash In / Out

December 21, 2023


Benefits of Cash In/Cash Out:

Painlessly balance registers
16% of retail shrinkage is caused by administrative errors. Erply automatically tracks cash flow to reduce those errors with minimum effort. Whether you’re logging petty cash or moving money from one register to another, all your employee needs to do is enter the amount of cash moved and Erply does the rest.

Improve employee accountability
Discourage theft by requiring employees to enter a reason why cash was removed from the register. If a discrepancy is found in your end of day reports, Erply saved all employee notes so you have an audit trail to follow.
Pro tip: Employee notes are helpful for stores that do not use employee-specific cash drawers.

Ensure every dime and dollar are accounted for
Pull cash in and cash out reports at the POS or in the back office for full transparency of cash movement. Granular reports show how much cash was added or removed from each register, and can be adjusted for any location, range of time, or employee.
