Before the First Sale
If the shop uses a cash drawer, open the register and record starting cash before the first live sale. Selling before opening the drawer weakens the close.
- Enable Cash Register in Settings -> Features when drawer control is required.
- Configure registers under the branch/outlet setup area.
- Record the starting cash amount in the drawer.
- Assign the cashier or shift owner who will explain differences.
Close the Day
- Stop new sales or move them to the next shift according to shop policy.
- Count physical cash in the drawer.
- Open Sales History and review unusual refunds, edits, unpaid sales and large discounts.
- Compare payment method totals with cash, card terminal, QR, wallet or bank transfer records.
- Review Inventory Logs for major corrections during the day.
- Enter closing amount and record any difference explanation.
- Export or save daily reports required by the owner.
- Create or confirm backup after close.
What to Reconcile
| Total | Compare with | If different |
|---|---|---|
| Cash sales | Physical drawer count plus starting cash and cash expenses. | Find missing sale, wrong payment label, refund or counting error. |
| Card or QR labels | External terminal or provider settlement. | Do not assume Posnic label equals bank settlement. |
| Unpaid sales | Customer balances and approval notes. | Follow collection policy or settle payment. |
| Stock movement | Inventory Logs and physical spot checks. | Investigate sale, return, purchase or adjustment reason. |
| Discounts | Sale notes and staff permission. | Confirm the discount was approved. |

- Sales History matches receipt questions and known corrections.
- Cash count is entered and differences are explained.
- External payment evidence is saved separately.
