Read Payment Tally

Payment Tally is built from the register's saved sales. Expected is what Posnic recorded. Counted is what the cashier verifies. Difference is counted minus expected.

ColumnMeaningOperator work
Payment TypeCash, card, UPI, wallet or other configured payment label.Verify each payment label separately.
ExpectedCalculated total from sales, refunds, opening float and cash movement where applicable.Do not overwrite this by guessing.
CountedAmount physically counted or confirmed from external settlement.Enter the real counted amount.
DifferenceCounted minus expected.Investigate non-zero differences before close.

Count Each Payment Method

  1. Open Manage -> Cash Register while the session is open.
  2. Read the register name and open date.
  3. For Cash, count the physical drawer cash.
  4. For card, QR, UPI, wallet or bank labels, compare with the external terminal/provider report.
  5. Enter Counted amount for each payment type.
  6. Watch Difference after each counted value changes.
  7. Write a Payment Note for any mismatch or unusual event.
  8. Do not close until manager-required checks are complete.

Use Payment Summary

Payment Summary gives the session totals: Payment Received, Refunds and Net Receipts. Use it as the high-level check before the physical count.

  • Payment Received should match the payment methods expected for the session.
  • Refunds should be reviewed against return/refund approvals.
  • Net Receipts should make sense for the shift volume.
  • If totals look wrong, inspect Sales History before closing.
  • External settlement evidence still lives outside Posnic for many payment providers.

Count Denominations

The Denomination card uses note/coin buttons from shop settings or currency defaults. It helps the cashier explain the physical cash total.

  1. Scroll to Denomination.
  2. Click each cash value button for every note or coin counted.
  3. Watch Total update.
  4. Use Save when first entering denomination data.
  5. Use Update Denomination when revising saved denomination data.
  6. Delete denomination only when the count was entered for the wrong session or owner policy allows a reset.
  7. Compare the denomination total with the Cash counted amount.

Close the Register

Close Register finalizes the open session. The repository records closing expected, closing counted, over/short and who closed the register.

  • Close only after sales stop for that drawer.
  • Review Payment Tally, Payment Note, Payment Summary, Denomination, Cash Details and Sales Summary first.
  • Normal users are constrained to their own user/device session.
  • Manager, admin and super admin users can close another cashier's till according to backend role rules.
  • After close, print or save the close evidence according to owner policy.
