The change fund is your own cash that you put into the till so there is something to give change with. This is not revenue: the money came not from clients but from you, and it never counts towards earnings.
How to add it #
- Open "Money" → "Balances and Collections".
- Next to the till you need (zone or "Goods"), click "Make Change".
- Enter the amount, save.
The change fund is added by the owner only — the employee has no such button.
What happens next #
At the results submission the change fund is subtracted automatically. In the evening the employee counts the whole drawer as usual and enters that amount. The app shows right under the field:
- Owner's change float — how much of that money is yours;
- Cash revenue — how much is left after the subtraction.
The employee does not have to do any mental arithmetic, and the «Difference» will not show a false surplus equal to your change fund.
In the «Day summary» the change fund is a separate line — next to cash and card, but outside revenue. This shows how much of the money in the till is yours and how much was earned.
A cash collection takes the change fund along with the revenue. RentOS has no separate «untouchable» change fund: this is real money in the drawer, and the next cash collection will take it out with everything else. If you need a change fund for tomorrow, leave it in the till and add it again.
How to correct or delete it #
The change fund appears in «Cash movements» — the list under the balances, where cash collections and advances are. Find the entry you need (it has a coin icon), open it and either change the amount or delete it.
The till balances are recalculated at once. The correction stays in the change history.
What to Do If… #
…you need to make change for "Abonements"? That button is intentionally absent — this till only holds amounts actually paid by clients.
…the employee does not know about the change fund? And they do not need to: they simply count the drawer. The app itself will show them how much of that amount is your money.
…you added the change fund to the wrong zone? Delete the entry in «Cash movements» and add it again to the right till — the change fund belongs to a specific till, not to the whole location.
…the till is off by exactly the change fund amount? Check the date: the change fund that is subtracted is the one added after the previous results submission. If you put the money in a week ago and there have been several submissions since, it was already accounted for in the first of them.
