# Perform cash drops
You should skim excess cash from your cash drawer throughout your shift and perform cash drops to the store safe or another secure location. This reduces the store's risk of theft. When you perform a cash drop, the amount is included in your total sales for the day and will display on your Z report.
{% hint style="info" %}
You must have the **Allowed to perform Drops and Pay Outs** permission to perform cash drops in POS.
{% endhint %}
1. Tap **Operations** | **Cash** | **Cash drop**.
2. Tap in the **Amount** field and enter the total amount that you want to drop, e.g., $1500.
3. (Optional) If your store requires reason codes for cash drops, tap the browse icon next to the **Reason Code** field, tap the appropriate reason code to select it, and tap **OK**.
4. (Optional) Tap in the **Comment** field and enter a comment, e.g., Cash drop $1500 to store safe.
5. Tap **OK**.
6. Tap in the **Cash** field and enter the total amount that you want to drop, e.g., $1500.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.rmhpos.com/readme-1/manage-the-cash-drawer/performing_cash_drops.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.
