Day close
Menu: Reporting → Day close · Who: owner, branch manager
Closing the day freezes the branch's figures, reconciles the till and locks the date. Do it at the end of every trading day, before the cash leaves the shop.
While the day is open
The page shows the day as it stands for the branch in the top bar:
- Orders, net sales, tax, total sales
- Breakdowns: Payments, Tax collected, Order types
- The Cash drawer panel on the right
The cash drawer
| Field | Who fills it |
|---|---|
| Opening float | You — what the till started with |
| Cash sales | The server |
| Expected in drawer | The server: float + cash sales |
| Counted cash | You — what you actually counted |
| Over / short | The server: counted − expected |
The browser never computes the expected figure. You count, the server compares. If the setting requires a cash count, the day cannot close until you have entered it.
Press Close the day.
After closing
The page becomes the Z report: payments, tax by authority, order types, and the cash drawer with the over/short. Export it as Excel or PDF for your file.
The date is now locked. No sale, void or edit may land on it. A late sale rung after closing is refused with a message naming the day and the branch.
Reopening a day
Press Reopen day, give a reason. The day trades again — the page goes back to the live figures and you can close it a second time. Every reopen is on the record: who, when and why, kept alongside the close.
There is never more than one day-close row per branch per date; a second close updates the same one.
Closed days
The table at the bottom lists every closed day with its orders, sales, expected and counted cash and the over/short. Click any row to read that day's Z report again.
If the drawer does not tie out
- Check Payments — a card sale rung as cash is the usual cause.
- Check whether anything was paid out of the till (that is a cash adjustment, not a sale).
- A small daily variance is normal; a large one on one day is worth chasing while people still remember the day.
