# Open, run and close a till day

Open the drawer with a counted float, record cash moving in or out outside a sale, open the drawer without a sale when you must, freeze it for the closing count, and close it — the over/short is the shift’s record.

POS estate · a play in 4 steps.

## The steps

1. Open the till with a counted float. — [openTillSession](/reference/till-sessions/openTillSession/)
2. Record cash in or out outside a sale — paid-ins, paid-outs, drops, pickups — with a reason. — [recordCashEntry](/reference/till-and-cash-management/recordCashEntry/)
3. Open the drawer without a sale — counted, stamped, reason required. — [noSale](/reference/gated-floor-actions/noSale/)
4. Freeze the drawer for the closing count, then close it — the over/short against the expected totals is permanent. — [beginCloseTillSession](/reference/till-session/beginCloseTillSession/), [closeTillSession](/reference/till-sessions/closeTillSession/)
