Open and close the register

Open the register at the start of a shift with the cash float you put in the drawer, and close it at the end with the cash you counted. Both are done in Drawer › Open/Close Register: type the Amount, add a closing note if you need one, and tap OPEN or CLOSE. This creates the cash session that your end-of-day figures are checked against. Closing doesn't print anything, so print the DSR for the day afterwards.

Open the shift with a float, close it with the count.

Steps

  1. Count the float. Before the first sale, count the cash you are putting in the drawer.
  2. Open the register. Open the drawer menu, tap Open/Close Register, type the float in Amount and tap OPEN.
  3. Sell as usual. Cash sales, change and pay outs during the shift are tracked against this session.
  4. Count the drawer at close. At the end of the shift, count all the cash in the drawer.
  5. Close the register. Open Open/Close Register again, type the counted total in Amount, add a closing note (for example to explain a difference or a handover) and tap CLOSE.
  6. Print the day's report. Open Drawer › DSR(Daily Sale Report), choose Today and tap PRINT for your Z report.

Tips

Open the register before the first sale so every cash movement lands in the right session. Count carefully at close, because the counted amount is compared with the cash you should have; the note is where you explain any difference. Record cash taken out for supplies with Cash Pay Out rather than just removing it.

  • Staff need Open / Close Register in the Sales & Transactions group of their role.
  • Closing doesn't print a report; use the DSR.
  • The web back office has a register report for past sessions.
