# Cash Reconciliation This guide explains how the Reconcile Drawer modal works in SimpleSpa, how expected cash is calculated, and how to interpret the entries. *** ### 📋 Overview The Cash Drawer Reconciliation feature allows businesses to: * Open and close their cash drawer * Track cash amounts at opening and closing * See how much cash should be on hand based on daily transactions * Identify cash overages or shortages *** ### 🔄 Drawer Entry Types Each drawer action is logged as an entry with the following types: Opening Entry Closing Entry ### How Expected Cash is Calculated The system uses the most recent valid opening to determine what the expected cash should be at closing. Formula: ``` Expected Closing Cash = Opening Amount + Cash Received Today ``` If a closing entry exists after that opening, it will also be displayed for comparison. *** ### 📘 Example Entries Here’s an example set of entries for a day: ``` [ { "type": 0, "cash": "100.00", "date": "09:00", "activity_by": "manager" }, { "type": 1, "cash": "150.00", "date": "15:00", "activity_by": "manager" } ] ``` In this case: * Opening Cash: $100.00 * Cash Received Today: $50.00 * Expected Closing Cash: $150.00 * Actual Closing Cash: $150.00 * ✅ No difference *** ### 🧾 Modal Breakdown When the modal opens, you’ll see: 1. Opening Entry — time, amount, notes, and user 2. Closing Entry *(if exists)* — same details 3. Expected Closing Cash — calculated using today’s transactions 4. Difference — highlights any cash over/short *** ### 🔒 When Is the Drawer Considered Open? The system considers the drawer *open* if: * There is an opening entry * And no closing entry exists *after* it This controls whether the “Close Drawer” tab is enabled. ## Accessing the Reconciliation Modal
