Overview
Batch closing helps the business compare what the counter recorded with what was actually collected. The daily sales report then gives a review of sales activity for a chosen date and counter.
Important: Do not close a batch until the cashier has finished trading for that period and the actual amounts have been counted.
Where To Find It
Path: POS > Batch List, POS > Close Batch, and POS > Daily Sales Report
Use the POS batch screens when closing the trading period for a counter, and use the daily report dialog when a user needs a printed or previewed summary or detail report.
How It Works
The closing amounts screen lets users enter payment-method totals and cash denominations. The daily sales report screen supports date, counter, salesperson, and summary or detail output so management can review the day clearly.
Main Areas
| Area | What It Means | When To Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Closing amounts | Records what was actually collected at the counter by payment method and denomination. | Use it during shift or end-of-day close to confirm physical cash and non-cash totals. |
| Batch records | Shows the POS batch sessions that are open or ready to close. | Use it to select the correct batch before final closing actions are taken. |
| Daily sales report | Prints or previews the sales result for a selected date, counter, and optionally salesperson in summary or detail format. | Use it for cashier review, supervisor sign-off, and daily reconciliation. |
Recommended Workflow
- Finish all active POS transactions for the counter.
- Open the batch closing screen and select the correct batch.
- Enter the actual payment-method amounts and cash denominations.
- Review the figures, then complete the batch close according to your company process.
- Open the Daily Sales Report dialog, select the date and counter, choose Summary or Detail, then preview or print the report.
Best Practice
- Count cash before entering the final closing values.
- Use the same counter and date filters when comparing reports across users.
- Keep a consistent policy on who is allowed to close a batch and who reviews the report afterward.
