Close out the day
When the store is done:- Open End of Day → Close Out Day.
- Walk the closeout: confirm the day’s sales, payments, and totals against what the register says.
- 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.
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.
