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.

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