Cash drawer reconciliation is the process of verifying and balancing the amount of cash, checks, and credit/debit card and other payments received at the close of business or shift change and creates accountability of the day’s (or shift’s) transactions. eLube recommends performing the cash drawer reconciliation every day (or end of shift) of all cash drawers to ensure proper control and monitoring of business funds and reliable accounting records.

The process of opening and selecting the appropriate cash drawer is broken down by the separate eLube software modules while the actual reconciliation process is detailed at the end of the document as it is the same for each module.
