Drawer Adjustment Requests and Approvals

Introduction

A drawer adjustment corrects the cashier's drawer balance when there is a discrepancy that cannot be explained by shortage or excess. Unlike shortage/excess recording (which documents a discrepancy), a drawer adjustment directly modifies the drawer balance after supervisory approval, creating a controlled correction path with an audit trail.
