Float Transfers

Introduction

A float transfer is the formal movement of cash from one cashier's drawer to another. Float transfers are used to top up a cashier who is running low on change, consolidate cash at shift end, or move funds between counters. Each transfer is recorded with denominations and must be formally accepted by the recipient.
