In this case the document batch for the computer matches the banking batch for the till. This is the simplest method of using tills but requires that a cash drawer exist for each and every machine that may accept cash. * **Shared** - this method allows a single cash drawer to be shared amongst a number of machines. This has the advantage of less hardware but requires a more disciplined banking procedure. Where this approach is adopted it is necessary to keep a current banking batch running for a till. Banking for that till can only be done when this batch is closed. Closing the batch can be done from any machine using the till and all documents from any machine processed after the close will be recorded against the next banking batch. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://guide.acumensystems.com.au/system-parts/banking/till-banking/tills.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
