The float allows you to enter and record any amounts paid into
the cash drawer or out of the cash drawer. Should a cashier or salesperson
receive a float to give change to customers, the float should be recorded when
the float is entered in the cash drawer.
You may then continue to process point-of-sale invoices. A soon as you receive and process payment from a customer, TurboCASH will display the change you hand to the customer. When the change is handed to the customer, you need to enter the change handed to the customer.
