To track tender in Bravo, always perform a Tender Transfer when moving money. Tender can be transferred between the bank, safe, and tills, but not directly from bank to till. The money flow is Bank Account > Store Safe > Till.
The Transfer Tender feature also tracks cash leaving the register for expenses without a transaction, like Meals and Entertainment, using the Cash Disbursement option. More details are in the second half of this article.
Tills must be open to transfer tender. To move tender from the bank to a till, first transfer it to the safe, then to the till.
Instructions
To move money into the Till or out to the Bank, follow these steps:
- From the Bravo Dashboard, click on Transfer Tender in the right panel.
- The Tender Transfer screen will appear.
- Select a Source and Destination.
- Source is where the money comes from, and Destination is where it goes.
For a new store, transfer money from the Bank Account to the Store Safe first, then from the Store Safe to the Till on a second Tender Transfer. The source determines the destination options.
- Enter the transfer amount in the Amount column for Cash and hit Enter.
- The Transfer Amount box will display the entered amount.

- Use the Note box to enter any information or comment about the transfer.
- This information will print on the Transfer Slip and will appear in the Store Register Journal.
- The Current Amount, Transfer Amount and the Balance Amount on the top right of the screen are all based on the Destination.
- Click Save to complete the transfer.
Bravo will transfer the funds and print a transfer slip to your receipts printer.
