How does KamaiPlus know how much cash should be in the drawer?

Expected cash = the opening float + cash received from bills − cash paid out today (expenses, cash refunds and cash paid to suppliers).

What if the counted cash does not match?

The note counter shows the difference as short or extra before you close. Check today's expenses and cash refunds first; the shift can still be closed and the difference is on the slip.
