Open the drawer
Cash Drawer Open/Close focuses on opening float, cash drops, close session, cash count, and variance review. AWRA POS connects counter activity, branch stock, customer proof, payment capture, drawer control, and shift reporting.
The practical goal is retail accountability. Every sale, return, discount, payment, receipt, drawer movement, and stock promise should be traceable to a counter, cashier, shift, and branch.
In practice, a cashier opens with float, records a cash drop during the shift, counts at close, and explains a small variance for supervisor review.

Retail model
- Retail work should preserve counter, cashier, shift, payment, and stock context.
- Cash movement needs tighter evidence than ordinary transaction notes.
- Returns, discounts, and overrides should be controlled by role and reason.
- End-of-day reporting should support finance handoff without guesswork.
