Create, Edit and Delete Cash Denominations
Cash denominations are branch-specific counting shortcuts. Set up only the notes and coins the shop actually accepts so cashiers can count a drawer quickly and accurately.

Plan the Values First
A denomination is a cash value, not a quantity. For an Indian shop, examples may include 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 according to the notes and coins the drawer actually uses.
- Add each accepted value once; Posnic rejects a duplicate value in the same branch.
- Do not enter the number of notes here. Cashiers enter quantities while counting the register.
- Do not add card, UPI, bank or wallet labels as denominations; those belong under Payment Modes.
- Keep the list practical. The current denomination list returns up to ten configured values for the branch.
- Review values after a currency or cash-handling policy change.
Create a Denomination
- Switch to the branch whose physical drawer you are configuring.
- Open Settings -> Core Settings -> Payments.
- Select Cash Denominations.
- Click New.
- Enter the required numeric Value, such as 100 for a 100-unit note.
- Click Save.
- Return to the denomination table and confirm the value appears once.
- Open or resume a training register and confirm the value is available in the denomination counting area.
Edit or Delete a Value
| Action | Use when | Operational check |
|---|---|---|
| Edit | A denomination was entered incorrectly. | Change it only when staff are not in the middle of counting an open drawer. |
| Delete | The shop no longer accepts or uses that note or coin. | Finish or document any active register count first, then confirm the button disappears. |
| Add | A newly issued or newly accepted value is needed. | Test it in the branch's register count before the next close. |
| Leave unchanged | The value still exists physically even if it is uncommon. | Keeping a valid value is safer than forcing cashiers to combine it under another button. |
Count the Register with Denominations
- Open Manage -> Cash Register and select the active session.
- Count each physical note and coin away from customer interruptions.
- Use the matching denomination buttons or fields to build the counted cash total.
- Compare counted cash with opening float, cash sales, refunds, Cash In and Cash Out.
- Investigate a difference before closing the register; changing denomination setup does not correct missing cash.
- Record the payment note and manager review required by the shop's close policy.
Branch and Permission Rules
- Denominations are stored for the current branch and license, so configure and test every branch that uses a different cash drawer policy.
- Creating, editing or deleting denomination fields requires branch write access in the current interface.
- A denomination value is a counting aid; it does not create money, alter sales or replace the expected-versus-counted reconciliation.
- After any change, ask one cashier to perform a controlled count before relying on the new layout at day close.
