In the overview, under service checkout, it now says checkout open with initial balance and target.

If you cancelled, it will say Enter starting amount. Tap on it to do so. Before your first transaction, a cancellation, a deposit return, or a voucher sale, the checkout will ask: Service checkout required.

If there isn't enough money in the main till

With the cash book, the opening balance must not exceed the available cash in the main till. Otherwise, the system will report Cash book balance too low (Android: Amount exceeds cash balance). Select Start with… to begin with the available amount, or Post deposit if there is indeed more money available.

If you share a cash register with colleagues (service register group), the first person opens it with the initial balance; all others automatically join and see Shared Service Register. If the restaurant requires clocking in at the service register, the register will first ask Clock in now: Clocking in and out.
