06. CASH
Welcome to the Cash Module of Core Banking.
The Cash Module in Core Banking intends to automate the workflow pertaining
to all cash-related activities in the Branch.
This module covers aspects relating to:

Opening and Closing of Cash Drawers,

Issue of Cash by Custodian (i.e. Accountant) to Cash Officer,

Issue of Cash to Teller,

Return of Cash by Teller,

Acknowledgement of cash receipt,

Switching of Vault Teller,

Cash Reports and other cash reconciliation matters.

06.01 Terminology
Cash Drawer:
A system Cash Drawer is similar to your wallet. The details of physical cash
received/returned from/to others are entered here.
Cash Drawer in CBS is similar to the physical cash drawer of Cashiers/ Tellers at
a Branch. It is a logical location that maintains Cashier/ Teller-wise Receipts
and Payments, along with details of denominations. There will be one cash
drawer for each Cashier/ Teller, who handles cash. Apart from them, the Cash
Officer as well as joint custodian of cash (called Vault Custodian) will also have
Cash Drawers. The database of Cash Drawers is maintained at the Branch
Server. This enables cash transactions in offline mode.
Reconcile Currency:
Reconciliation of Currency is an event. By clicking on the button Reconcile
Currency, and inputting the denominations on hand, we are confirming to the
system that the pieces mentioned against each denomination are indeed held
by us physically. This can be done any time but this must be done by each
Teller before handing over cash to the Cash Officer, and also before closing the
Cash Drawer by Cash Officer and the Accountant (Vault Custodian).
Users involved in Cash Module:
Vault Custodian User Type 50.
Cash Officer - User Type 60.
Teller - User Type 1 .
Open Cash Drawer
Click on the 6th icon from left in the B@ncsLink Toolbar.

The screen Open/ Close Cash Drawer (Cash Summary) is displayed.

Click on 'Open Cash Drawer'. The status of Cash Drawer changes to Open.
You now see the Currency, Opening Balance, Current Balance and whether
currency is reconciled with the denominations on hand.
You can also open the cash drawer through the following menu:

06.02 Workflow relating to Cash in a typical non-Chest branch:

Beginning of the Day:

The Accountant enquires the opening balance of cash as per Finance One
and verifies that it is equal to the closing balance of cash as recorded from
BGL Account No.98903BBBBBC as at the previous evening.

The Vault Custodian, Cash Officer and Cashiers / Tellers login and open
their Cash drawers.

Vault Custodian transfers Cash to Cash Officer.

Cash Officer verifies and acknowledges receipt of cash.

Cash Officer distributes the Cash to the Cashiers / Tellers who handle Cash
transactions at the Branch. The receiving Teller verifies the Cash and
acknowledges the same.
During the day:

Cashiers/ Tellers perform customer transactions, i.e. Receipts / Payments,

office account transactions and swap denominations, etc.
End of the Day:

Cashiers / Tellers tally the cash, generate cash reports and hand over the
balance of cash/cash kept in the cash box along with the report to Cash
Officer and Cash Officer acknowledges.

All the Cashiers / Tellers reconcile currency and close their respective Cash
Drawers in the system.

Cash Officer prints cash-related reports, tallies the cash and hands over to
Vault Custodian and Vault Custodian verifies and acknowledges in the
system.

Joint custodians are to ensure at close of day that:

The balance of cash as per the Vault Register =
The balance of cash as per Accountants Cash Drawer =
The balance of cash as per Branch Cash Balance Account 98903BBBBBC =
The physical cash in the Vault.

Note: Wherever cash box system is enabled, the cash kept overnight in the
cash box is accounted in BGL98912BBBBBC. In such branches, it is to be ensured
that
The branch closing cash balance is equal to balance in BGL98903BBBBBC plus
BGL98912BBBBBC

Cash Officer reconciles currency and closes his Cash Drawer.

Vault Custodian reconciles the currency and closes his Cash Drawer.

Cash Officer has a special menu:
Cash Administration Close Cash drawer by Cash Officer
The only information required is the Teller ID whose cash drawer is to be

is having zero balance.
To check out who are all the Tellers who have not closed their Cash Drawers,

The above reports are saved in the folderE:\CBBRANCH\SAVED REPORTS in the branch server.
Note: Backdated Cash reports are not available. Therefore it is important for
the Cash Officer to save the day's reports (all the above Reports), print them
daily and file them.
Archival of Cash reports are not done at CDC. Therefore, the Branch has to
take a backup of the saved reports at periodic intervals on to a CD.
Branch Reports Other Tellers Cash Report:
Suppose the Teller has not generated his report, the Cash Officer can use this
menu for generating the Tellers Report in his absence.
06.16 Switching of Vault Teller:
For whatever reason, if the Vault Teller of the Branch is unable to attend
office, and another officer has to take over charge as Custodian, the Vault
Teller should be replaced as the system recognizes a Vault Teller only by his
User Type, that is 50. In the normal circumstances, when the Vault Teller
goes on leave, the Cash Officer or any officer with user type 45 can use this
option.

139

Precautions to be taken while changing Vault Teller:

The branch cash balance should be transferred to the new Vault Teller in
the system.

Any Teller holds VPIS Inventory, it should be returned to the Vault

Teller.

All the Cash Drawers of Tellers should be closed.

There should be no Cash in the Cash Drawer of the proposed Vault
Teller.
Cash Drawers of Cash Officer and Vault Teller should be closed.
Otherwise, it will give an error Cash Drawer of Cash Officer is still open;
please close the Cash Drawer.
If the proposed Vault Teller is taking over as Vault Teller for the first
time and if he/ she has never opened his/ her Cash Drawer, then ask
him/ her to open it once and close it.
Switching of Vault Teller can be done at any time, but the ideal time is
either at the end of business (i.e. after closing cash and before giving
EOD signal) or at the start of the business.
As soon as all the days transactions are over, cash and securities have
been returned to the outgoing Vault Teller and the keys are handed /
taken over, the Cash Officer should go thro this menu to effect the
change in the system.
Both the outgoing as well as the incoming Vault Tellers should have
closed their Cash Drawers
Both the outgoing as well as the incoming Vault Tellers should have
signed off when the menu option of switching of Vault Teller is run.
The system changes User Type of existing Vault Teller to 1 and that of
incoming Vault Teller to 50.
Officers with User Type of 45 and 60 with Admin power can do switching
of Vault Teller.
Switching of Vault Teller changes only User Type 1 to 50; it does not
change the Capability level and Transaction Group. So, if the branch
wants to increase the Capability level to 7, then they will have to go
through the Menu:
User System Management Changes Change Capability level
The new Vault Teller should login once after this and ensure that his
User Type has been changed to 50, open his Cash Drawer, verify its
contents and ensure that it has been successfully updated. The VPIS
also should be verified.

140

Process of Changing Vault Teller:

This menu is used for changing the Vault Teller of the branch and is available
with the Cash Officer.

In the Field Old Vault Tellers ID, key in the user id (PF index no.) of the Vault
Teller who is handing over.
In the Field New Vault Tellers ID, key in the user ID (PF index no.) of the
officer taking over as Vault Teller.
Now click on Transmit.
When the Cash Officer transmits, the transaction is submitted for authorization
in Group Queue (Refer 14.01).
On authorization by checker, the process of Switching of Vault Teller gets
completed. The system displays a message The Type of existing Vault Teller
has been changed successfully.
Now let the old and new Vault Tellers login to the system and verify that the
changes have taken place correctly.
Note: Pop up message will appear at the time of Switching off Vault
teller transaction to remind the Custodian to generate the report
before switching off
Confirmation of successful switch over of Vault Teller:
User Type of New Vault Teller is changed to 50.
User Type of outgoing Vault Teller is changed to 1.
Cash is transferred to new Vault Teller.
VPIS Inventory kept with the Vault Teller is then transferred to the new
Vault Teller.
Situation of partial or improper switch over of Vault Teller:
If branch uses the Menu:
User System Management Changes Change Capability level or
User System Management Changes Change User Type permanently
Instead of using the correct Menu: Administration Switching of Vault
Teller, partial of improper switch over of VT may occur. The system
would change the User Type, but Cash and VPIS will not be transferred
to the new Vault Teller and the system will not allow the new User to
141

use Cash Vault Transaction Menu. The system may also give an error
message User is not a Vault Teller.
Due to partial switching of Vault Teller, User Type of new Vault Teller
changes to 50 but the User Type of old Vault Teller is not changed to
1 and Cash is not transferred.
In such cases, the branch will have to restore to the original situation
i.e., change the new Vault Tellers Type to 1 and again go for
switching of Vault Teller by the proper Officer (User type 40/ 60 with
User Admin powers).
Sometimes, the present Vault Teller Type shows 50 but while
switching, it gives an error, Old Vault Teller is not a Vault Teller. This
error occurs due to difference in status of Vault Teller at Front-end and
Back-end. At the Front-end (in the branch), it is 50, whereas at the
Back-end (CDC) it is 1. In such cases, use the Menu: User System
Management Changes Change User Type permanently.
If there are 2 users of user type 50, the switching of Vault Teller takes
place partially. In such cases, all users with user type 50 other than
the outgoing Vault Teller should be changed to 1 and the switch should
be done again.
06.17. Change of Cash Officer:
A User Administrator (user type 45 /50) should change the User Type of the
outgoing Cash Officer to 1 and that of the Incoming Cash Officer to 60. These
changes should be done using the menu Change User Type Permanently and
also in the User Type Change (Temporary) under Change Capability level.
Both these options are available under User / System Management menu.
Pre-conditions:

The change of Cash Officer should be done after the completion of days
work.

The outgoing Cash Officer should have handed over the Cash to the
Accountant (Vault Teller) in the system.

All Cash Drawers must be closed.

Both existing Cash Officer and new Cash Officer should be signed off.

Teller with User Admin rights has to log in and change the Cash Officer.
Process of change of Cash Officer:
The Menu access is:

Select Yes from the adjoining Drop Down Box.
Now click on Transmit.
Verification of change:
Now let the new Cash Officer login to the system and verify that his User Type,
Capability Level and Transaction Group reflect the correct position.
If two officers are set up as User Type 60, then there will be problems in
generating the Cash Reports.
Note: When the permanent Cash Officer reports back, repeat the above steps.
06.18 Cash Administration:
