# Cash Summary

> Cash Summary shows the current cash in each payment bin at a point in time during the working day, starting from the last balancing closing amount.

**Cash Summary** shows the current cash in each POS payment bin at a point in time during the working day. It starts from the last balancing closing amount — the **New Float Amount** set when the previous shift was finalized — and then applies all cash-in and cash-out movements from that point forward.

> **Important:** Cash Summary is an intraday view. It is not designed to retrieve historical balances for a prior date. For historical closing amounts, use **POS Balancing Line** from the **POS Entry List** in Business Central.

## How Cash Summary is calculated

The balance shown in Cash Summary is calculated as follows:

**Opening float** (New Float Amount from last balancing) **+ cash in − cash out = current bin balance**

The opening float is the **New Float Amount** recorded when the previous work shift was finalized on the [<ins>POS Counting screen</ins>](/product/retail-pos-processes-counting-ref). Each cash movement during the current shift — sales, refunds, bin transfers — is applied on top of this figure.

## Scope and limitations

| Scenario                                                              | Recommended tool                                                      |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| How much cash is currently in the bin?                                | **Cash Summary**                                                      |
| What was the closing balance at end of a specific past shift?         | **POS Balancing Line** from **POS Entry List**                        |
| Historical closing amounts across multiple POS units or payment bins? | **POS Balancing Line** from **POS Entry List**, or a dedicated report |

Cash Summary does not store historical snapshots. Once a new shift begins and a new float is set, the previous intraday state is no longer accessible through Cash Summary.

## Finding historical closing amounts

If you need the closing balance for a specific date, POS unit, or POS payment bin, open the **POS Entry List** in Business Central and navigate to **POS Balancing Line**. This table records the closing state of each balancing session and is the authoritative source for historical cash data.

If **POS Balancing Line** does not meet your reporting requirements, a dedicated report may need to be created.
