An expected amount
The check uses the expected cash float for the relevant register.

The cashier counts the float.
Monetec checks compliance.
At opening, checking the cash float should not require copying a machine's result and calculating the difference manually. Monetec collects results from integrated counting equipment and automatically compares the cash amount with the expected float.
From counting to checking in one app
1
Count coins and banknotesWith Monetec modules: MoneScan, MoneCup, Connect or manual entry.
2
Retrieve the resultsResults from integrated devices are added directly to the count, without re-entering amounts.
3
Compare with the expected floatMonetec calculates the difference automatically and displays the result.
Automatic check of the total amount
Why check at opening?
Check the float before the first sale
When the central cash office or a manager hands a float to the cashier, the cashier must be able to confirm the amount actually received. A discrepancy found before trading must not be confused with one arising after a day of sales.
A physical count
The cashier actually counts the received cash using Monetec's usual tools.
An instant comparison
Monetec compares the amounts automatically and flags every difference, even one cent.
Operational integration
The machine counts. The software compares.
When equipment isn't connected to the management software, counting results must be entered separately. This means more handling and more opportunities for error.
With Monetec, results from compatible equipment are received in the app. Cashiers don't have to copy those results manually to check their float.
Checking becomes a natural follow-up to counting. Manual entry remains available for cash not processed by connected equipment.
1
The cashier selects “Check my float”
This option is available when an administrator has enabled the check.
2
They perform the count
The counting modules provide the total value of the cash received.
3
They check the difference
Monetec shows the expected amount, counted amount and the difference.
4
They confirm or report an anomaly
A matching float is approved. If there's a difference, the cashier may correct the count or reject the float.
No manual calculation
Three amounts, one clear decision
Illustrative example of a float received and checked with Monetec.
€150.00Expected float
€150.00Cash counted
€0.00Difference
The float matches: the cashier can confirm receipt. If the amount were €149.00, Monetec would show a −€1.00 difference and prevent approval as a matching float.
A procedure suited to the result
Approve a matching float. Investigate a mismatch.
✓ No discrepancy
The cashier confirms that the float matches and names the person declared to have prepared it.
- Check approved and recorded.
- The context of the count is kept for the day.
- Morning-check values are reset to start the normal count.
! A discrepancy is found
The cashier chooses how to resolve the situation before starting work.
- Correct the count: return to the entered quantities without starting over.
- Reject the float: record a preparation incident.
- After rejection, the check values are reset so a new verification can be performed.
Useful traceability
Distinguish who prepared the float from who received it
When confirming the check, the cashier selects the person who prepared the float from the administrators offered in the app.
If rejected, Monetec records the observed amount, discrepancy and the declared identity of the preparer in a separate incident, without automatically assigning responsibility for the discrepancy to the cashier opening the register.
A
Float preparer
Identified from the cashier's declaration during the check.
B
Receiving cashier
Physically counts the float, checks the result and confirms or rejects it.
C
Check history
Records the check and, if rejected, a separate preparation incident.
Administrator control
A check the store can choose to enable
Opening float verification is a feature of the Store Management Pack. An authorized administrator can enable or disable it in the management area.
When enabled, cashiers can choose between float verification and normal counting when opening the register.
The opening check is independent of the end-of-day closing: approving it does not close the register or replace a later count.
What the administrator controls
- Enabling the opening check.
- Managing which administrators may be listed as preparers.
- Keeping a specific record when a float is rejected.
- Keeping opening checks separate from end-of-day counting.
