# drawerLedger

query · in the family [Reading your records](/reference/reading-your-records/)

## What it does

The drawer’s cash movements for one till session — every entry, in order.

The CashEntry ledger of ONE TillSession, NEWEST-FIRST + bounded: 'limit' clamps server-side; 'before' = the prior page's oldest entry id (exclusive — walk backward in time). With the tillSession GET (cached drawerTotals + counted/overShort) this IS the X/Z-report data (rendered artifacts = the reports family). Requires authentication; the session is tenant-scoped server-side.

## What happens

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `tillSessionId` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | yes | No further notes. |
| `limit` | [Int](/types/#scalars) | no | How many records to answer at most; a page may hold fewer. |
| `before` | [ID](/types/#scalars) | no | No further notes. |

## Returns

[CashEntry](/types/CashEntry/) `[CashEntry!]!` — ONE posted cash-drawer ledger fact: the SIGN is the direction (positive = cash INTO the drawer). sysId-LESS (the class); IMMUTABLE — NO update or doom op exists (corrections are NEW compensating entries); posted ONLY by openTillSession (float_in), recordCashEntry (the manual subset), closeTillSession (count_adjust), and the tender writers (cash_sale/cash_refund/change_given) — each in ONE transaction with the drawerTotals cache stamp.
