Open and close a shift

Point of Sale

Open and close a shift

A shift is one cashier's time on one till. Every sale and cash movement belongs to a shift, so the drawer can be checked at the end.

Open a shift

  1. At /pos, sign in and Choose a register.
  2. Click Open a shift, count the cash in the drawer and enter it as the Opening float.
  3. Click Open shift.

Only one shift can be open on a register at a time.

Cash in and out during the day

Cash movement records money that is not a sale:

  • Pay-in — cash added (for example more change).
  • Pay-out — cash taken out (for example paying a supplier).
  • Drop — cash moved to the safe.

Enter the Amount and a Reason, then Record movement.

Close the shift

  1. Click Close shift.
  2. Count the drawer and enter Counted cash.
  3. Click Close shift.

The Variance shows whether the drawer is over, short or balanced against what was expected: Opening float + Cash sales + Pay-ins − Pay-outs − Drops − Cash refunds.
