Overview
This glossary defines key terms used throughout the Cash Recycler module in Wirely, ensuring new staff, venue operators, and non-finance roles can confidently understand reporting, float management, and transaction workflows.
Glossary Terms
1. Cash Recycler
A physical device that automates the depositing and dispensing of cash within a venue. Integrated with Wirely for accurate reconciliation.
2. Float
Cash prepared and distributed at the beginning of a trading shift to allow change to be given during operations.
3. Float Top-Up
A dispense of additional cash during a shift to replenish a till or drawer that’s running low.
4. Dispense
Cash removed from the recycler for operational use, such as floats or manual payouts. Also know as Withdraw to some cash recycler companies.
5. Deposit
Cash physically placed into the recycler, typically as part of end-of-shift banking.
6. Mapped Work Unit
A till, float drawer, or operational terminal assigned to a specific department or staff group. Mapping ensures recycler transactions are correctly allocated.
7. Unmapped Transaction

8. Trading Day Attribution

11. Super Admin
Top-level Wirely access, typically used for managing settings, making critical edits, or providing oversight at the group level.
12. Reconciliation
The process of matching recycler transactions with reported figures in tills, banking, and POS to ensure accuracy and accountability.
13. Raw Transaction Table
A detailed Wirely view showing every recorded transaction from the Cash Recycler, including amount, timestamp, work unit, and sync status.
14. Sync Status
Indicates whether a transaction has been successfully pulled from the Cash Recycler into Wirely. Failed or delayed syncs may require support.
15. Edge Case
An unusual situation or exception that falls outside standard process—such as an overnight deposit or unmapped dispense.
