Every downstream number (sales journals, labor cost, the P&L) assumes each business day was actually finished. End of Day is where that happens. Two pages in the sidebar: Close Out Day and Closing Reports.

Close out the day

When the store is done:
  1. Open End of Day → Close Out Day.
  2. Walk the closeout: confirm the day’s sales, payments, and totals against what the register says.
  3. Resolve anything flagged before you finish. A mismatch caught tonight is a two-minute fix; the same mismatch found at month-end is an archaeology project.
Do it the same night. A close done at 11pm takes five minutes; a close reconstructed a week later takes an hour.

Review closing reports

Closing Reports holds the reports for past days. Use it to:
  • Confirm a specific day’s numbers when accounting asks.
  • Compare closes across days when something looks off.
  • Verify the close actually happened. Unclosed days are how books drift.

Know-how

  • The business day boundary follows your location’s closeout hour, so a 1 AM check lands on the right day. Late-night store with days splitting wrong? Get the closeout hour fixed in settings.
  • Closes feed the sales journals. An unbalanced journal often traces back to a day that closed with an unresolved flag.
  • Rule of thumb: every business day gets closed before the next one starts. No exceptions, no batching Sundays.
