Till counting in brasio

Also known as: cash drawer count, cash count, arqueo, reconciliation. Whatever you call it, brasio handles it the same way: you count the physical cash in the drawer, brasio compares it to the system-expected total, and the variance is logged on the Z report at end of shift.

When you count

Three moments during a shift:

1. Apertura · fondo de caja — when you open the till at the start of service. You enter the opening float (the cash already in the drawer).
2. Arqueo intermedio — an optional mid-shift count to verify cash is on track. Does not close the shift.
3. Hacer arqueo · cerrar turno — the end-of-shift count. Brasio generates the Z report and computes the variance (counted minus expected).

In each of those three dialogs you choose how to enter the amount.

How to enter the amount

When you open the drawer at the start of service, run an intermediate arqueo, or close the shift at the end of the night, you can enter the cash in two ways:

• Total directo — type the final number with the keypad. Fast if you've already counted with a calculator.
• Por denominación — count each €500 / €200 / €100 / €50 / €20 / €10 / €5 / €2 / €1 / €0.50 / €0.20 / €0.10 / €0.05 / €0.02 / €0.01 slot and let brasio compute the total. Fewer slips, more auditable.

Both modes are available on the Apertura, Arqueo intermedio and Cierre de caja dialogs. The choice persists in localStorage on the device — set it once and every till session opens the same way.

Switch modes

At the top of any cash dialog there's a segmented toggle:

[ Total directo ] [ Por denominación ]

Tap Por denominación. The keypad disappears and a 15-row table replaces it.

Count

The table has one row per denomination, from €500 down to €0.01. Each row has:

• Denominación — e.g. €20.
• Cantidad — the count of that note/coin (a number input plus + and − steppers).
• Subtotal — cantidad × denominación, auto-computed.

Tap + or − to nudge a count by 1, or tap into the cantidad field and type a number directly. The Total at the bottom of the table updates live as you change any row.

When you're happy with the count, the dialog's confirm button uses that total — there is no separate "save denominations" step. The breakdown itself is also recorded in the drawer movement's metadata, so the Z report can reproduce the count if you ever need to defend an arqueo.

When to use each mode

Total directo is appropriate when:

• A trusted manager has done the count off-screen with a calculator or counting machine and just wants to record the result.
• The drawer is small (e.g. an opening float of €100) and the count is trivial.

Por denominación is appropriate when:

• You want the till to do the maths and avoid a typo on a big number.
• The cash holder wants a printed/auditable breakdown alongside the variance figure.
• The shift had heavy cash trade and the variance needs explanation.

Not working?

• The toggle isn't there: you may be on an older device cache. Reload the till browser tab.
• Total resets to zero after switching modes: the toggle starts fresh in each mode — the counts in Por denominación are not back-filled from a partially-typed total. Decide before you start counting.
• The Total isn't matching what I see physically: check the Cantidad rows for typos — a stray 11 in the €50 row is a €550 difference. The +/− steppers are slower but safer.
