Cash Over/Short is calculated within Radar based on data polled from the POS and entered into Manual Data. Radar calculates Cash Over/Short as Actual Deposit minus Theo. Deposit.



Actual Deposit

  • Actual Deposit- pulled from the POS 
    • The nightly deposit entered into the POS at the end of the night or on a following day during cash reconciliation
    • Note: Some POS systems do not provide Actual Deposit data
    • Note: During the Nightly Poll, Radar polls in the last 7 days of Actual Deposits


  • Actual Deposit- entered into Manual Data
    • Deposit entered at any time into the Deposit Entry page of the Manual Data Module
    • Manual Data deposits are frequently used if the POS does not provide Actual Deposit data or if entering Manual Data into Radar is more operationally efficient
