# Set up cash management in Jovvie Point of Sale

Section: Jovvie Point of Sale > Set up

> Turn on till sessions or the cash drawer button for a station, require a PIN for cash actions, and choose the drawer location.

Set up cash management in Jovvie Point of Sale so staff can track the cash in a [till](https://docs.jovvie.com/start-here/glossary/#till) and open the cash drawer from the register. Each [station](https://docs.jovvie.com/start-here/glossary/#station) has its own cash management settings.

## Before you start

- You need to be an administrator or shop manager.
- To open a cash drawer from the register, you need a receipt printer set up for Point of Sale, with the cash drawer connected to it. Use hardware with verified support for your operating system.

## Turn on cash management

1. In your dashboard, go to **POS** > **Stations**.

2. Find the station and click **Edit Station**.

3. Open the **Cart** tab.

4. Go to the **Cash Management** section.

5. Open **Cash Management Mode** and choose one:

   - **Disabled** (the default): cash management is off.
   - **Full Cash Management**: turns on till sessions and the open drawer control.
   - **Open Drawer Only**: gives staff the cash drawer control and nothing else.

6. Click **Save**.

To learn how staff use these features, see [Open the till](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/cash/open-the-till/), [Close the till](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/cash/close-the-till/), [Record paid in, paid out, drops, and adjustments](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/cash/record-cash-events/), and [Open the cash drawer](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/cash/open-the-drawer/).

If staff cannot find the cash management actions, check that **Cash Management / Open Drawer** is shown for the station. See [Show or hide register buttons](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/set-up/register-buttons/).

## Require a PIN for cash actions

You can ask staff for a PIN before certain cash actions.

1. On the **Cart** tab, go to **Cash Management PIN**.

2. Enter a numeric PIN. Share it only with the staff who need it.

3. Open **Cash Management PIN Requirement** and choose one:

   - **Never require PIN** (the default)
   - **Always require PIN**
   - **Require PIN based on conditions**

4. Click **Save**.

The register only asks for a PIN if you have entered one, so always enter a PIN if you want staff to need one.

### Require a PIN for some actions or some users

If you chose **Require PIN based on conditions**, a PIN is required when either of these matches: the action is in **Operations Requiring PIN**, or the user is in **Users Requiring Cash PIN**.

1. Under **Operations Requiring PIN**, choose **Select**.
2. Pick the actions that need a PIN: **Open Till**, **Close Till**, **Void Session**, **Paid In**, **Paid Out**, **Drop**, **Adjustment**, or **Open Drawer**.
3. Under **Users Requiring Cash PIN**, choose **Select**.
4. Pick the users who must enter the PIN.
5. Click **Save**.

If you pick nothing in a list, that list does not require a PIN for anything.

## Choose the cash drawer location

1. On the **Cart** tab, open **Cash Drawer Location**.
2. Select the location of the receipt printer that the cash drawer is connected to.
3. Click **Save**.

The drawer opens when staff use **Open Drawer**. If you leave **None / Disabled** selected, or no printer locations are listed, the drawer does not open from the register.
