What is Cash drop (safe drop)?

A cash drop, or safe drop, is the removal of surplus cash from the till drawer to a safe during the day, so the drawer never holds more than it needs. Each drop has to be recorded, or the drawer will look short at close.

Bhookly records a safe drop as part of a shift handover, and every other movement of cash in or out of the drawer with a reason, filed as an expense, a stock purchase or neither. The Z report lists the day's cash movements beside the counted and expected cash.
