# Add a New Count

Adding a new count resets any previous cash drawer balance. The new count will be used as the starting balance in your cash drawer.

As a best practice, add a new count every day or at the beginning of a shift to ensure the cash drawer balance matches the amount in the physical cash drawer.

To add a new count, open the **Cash Drawer** app and select **New Count**.

In the **New Count** details, enter the number of bills and coins in the drawer. Add any additional notes (optional).

**Note: **

Instead of entering the number of bills and coins, you can enter the total cash drawer amount in the **Other** field.

Select **Complete Count** to add the new count.

- **Expected:** The amount that the physical cash drawer should have based on the previous balance, cash payments (including partial cash payments), pay-ins, and pay-outs.

- **Actual:** The New Count amount. This should match the amount in your physical cash drawer. If it does not, make sure all pay-ins and pay-outs were correctly logged.
