Warehouse Float specs
Setup notes and briefing numbers for Warehouse Float.
Float ledger boundaries
These Warehouse Float specs describe the treatment of float balances, movement logs, and deposit support records. They are intended for South African operations that need clear lines between working cash and banked funds.
Warehouse Float specs set out where petty operating cash ends and bankable takings begin. Each setting needs its own reference style, handover point, and supporting record.
Every float movement should carry a source note, amount, date, and custodian name before it touches the cash-up file. A missing first record usually causes the mismatch later, especially when change money is topped up during trading and the banked total no longer mirrors the till reading. These specs focus on retaining proof that explains the gap without guesswork.
Records used at handover
The working set usually includes a float register, a movement log, and a deposit support sheet tied to the banking reference. One page tracks cash issued for operations, another tracks returns to the safe or bank, and the support sheet links totals to proof kept for finance. That split matters when a warehouse handles both dispatch cash needs and routine banking.
Use these specs alongside the linked Guides, Workflows, and Briefings pages before changing who signs off float releases. Check the amount, deposit rail, and reference a second time before any sealed bag leaves the site. Warehouse float queries need the float log page and the matching deposit paperwork.

Warehouse banking conditions in SA
Warehouse sites around Germiston, Elandsfontein, Montague Gardens, and Cornubia often work around dispatch peaks rather than neat office hours. That affects when float can be counted, when vehicles can reach a branch, and whether a night safe or cash collection service is used instead of counter deposits. The specs should therefore note the site window, not just the bank window.
Load-shedding, network outages, and month-end traffic all interfere with proof generation and physical deposit timing. Coastal humidity can affect paper slips and storage if records are left in receiving bays or guardrooms. Inland routes add travel time, so the cut-off for counting and sealing cash must be earlier than the branch cut-off itself.

Briefing details worth capturing
For Warehouse Float specs, note the storage point, access controls, counting surface, and who witnesses reconciliations. Add the current float value, average deposit frequency, and any recurring mismatch such as unlabelled top-ups or mixed change funds. Those details shape the record layout far better than a generic site summary.
File the movement log on the day the cash changes hands, then attach the bank proof once the deposit is completed. When finance reviews the pack, they should be able to trace opening float, additions, withdrawals, and banked funds in one sequence. That keeps warehouse working cash separate from money that has moved onto the banking rail.
