# My Drawer

## Introduction

The **drawer** represents a cashier's current in-hand financial position — the running total of all cash and non-cash instruments they hold at any point during their shift. Every payment received, float transfer, deposit, or withdrawal automatically updates the drawer balance.

## Navigation

Main Menu → Financial Transaction Manager → **Drawer** tab → **My Drawer**

## My Drawer Page

The My Drawer page (`cashier/my_drawer.xhtml`) shows the current balance broken down by payment method.

| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Cash balance | Physical cash currently in drawer |
| Card balance | Card payments collected (to be settled with bank) |
| Cheque/Slip balance | Cheques and bank slips held |
| Voucher balance | Vouchers collected |
| Other methods | Any other payment instruments |

Balances update in real time as transactions are processed.

## My Drawer History

To view a chronological list of all entries that have affected your drawer:
