Recording Bank Deposits in the Cash Drawer

The Problem

You've had a busy day and your cash drawer is overflowing. You need to make a bank deposit, but how do you record it so your drawer balance stays accurate? Without proper tracking, your end-of-day reconciliation becomes a guessing game.

The Solution

BarSight's Cash Transaction module lets you record bank deposits as "Cash Out" transactions. Every withdrawal is tracked with timestamps, notes, and the employee who made it—keeping your drawer balanced and your records audit-ready.

How to Use It

1. Navigate to Logbook → Cash from the main menu
2. Select your cash register (float) from the dropdown if you have multiple
3. Click the + Add Transaction button
4. Select Cash Out as the transaction type
5. Enter the deposit amount (e.g., $500.00)
6. Add a note like "Deposit to TD Bank - daily sales"
7. Click Save

Pro Tip

Make your deposits at consistent times each day and use descriptive notes. This creates a clear paper trail and makes end-of-week reconciliation much faster.
