Open Teller Till

Overview

The Open Teller Till feature creates and initializes teller cash drawers for daily operations, establishing starting balances and operational parameters for cash handling.

What It Does

Opens new teller tills by recording opening balance, denomination breakdown, assigned teller, and operational limits while validating against branch vault availability and teller permissions.

Business Value

  • Daily Operations: Enables tellers to begin serving customers
  • Accountability: Links cash to specific tellers
  • Cash Control: Establishes starting point for reconciliation
  • Audit Trail: Documents opening balances with timestamps
  • Flexibility: Supports multiple currencies and denominations

Who Uses This Feature

  • Branch Supervisors: Open tills at shift start
  • Head Tellers: Initialize teller stations
  • Operations Managers: Set up till parameters
  • Tellers: Request till opening

Key Capabilities

  • Record opening cash balance with denominations
  • Assign till to specific teller
  • Set operational limits (maximum balance, transaction limits)
  • Support multiple currencies
  • Link to source vault for cash allocation
  • Automatic balance tracking initialization

How to Use

  1. Select vault funding source
  2. Enter till identifier/name
  3. Assign to teller
  4. Input opening cash amount
  5. Record denomination breakdown
  6. Set operational limits
  7. Submit to open till
  8. Verify till status as active

Common Use Cases

  • Shift Start: Open teller till at branch opening
  • New Teller: Initialize till for newly assigned teller
  • Multiple Shifts: Open fresh till for afternoon shift
  • Special Events: Set up temporary teller station
  • Branch Opening: Initialize all teller tills for the day

Important Considerations

  • Vault must have sufficient balance
  • Teller must have active status
  • Physical cash count must match system record
  • Opening balance sets reconciliation baseline
  • Denomination breakdown recommended for audit
  • Cannot open duplicate till for same teller
