Tap ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c2d22fcd-a44b-4e1e-bf3a-84f0ffba0dbe/Images/Documentation/8c9d79b2-8ef9-44f6-b4f8-829f18482e36.png), and select `Cash Management`. 2. Tap `Non-sale`. - If using integrated cash drawers, the scanner opens, and users must scan the cash drawer where the non-sale transaction will be conducted. Once scanned, the app displays a drop-down list of non-sale transaction types that may be performed. - If using non-integrated cash drawers, the app presents a list of non-sale transaction types. 3. Select a transaction type: - `No-Sale`: Open the drawer without any impact to the recorded cash drawer balance. For example, use this operation to: - Make some change on a note from a visitor who didn't purchase anything. - Correct an error made on the amount given to a customer. - `Add to float`: Add some money to the drawer balance from the cash reserve of the store. - `Add petty cash`: Put unused petty cash back in the drawer. Relates to `Remove petty cash`. - `Transfer in`: Transfer cash from another drawer in the store. - `Adjustment in`: Starts a delayed recording of a transaction to add money to the drawer. For example, when you open the drawer with a key, instead of using Associate App, no transaction is recorded. Use this operation to create the transaction later. - `Remove petty cash`: Take money out for incidental expenses. This operation can be followed by `Add petty cash`. - `Cash pull`: Take excess money out of the drawer, reserved for deposit later. - `Transfer out`: Remove some money from this drawer to add it to another drawer in the store. - `Adjustment out`: Starts a delayed recording of a transaction that originally happened with a manual override (open the drawer with a key). For example, you refunded a customer and you now create an adjustment out. 4. Follow the instructions on the app to complete the operation.
