The “End of Shift” function is used to reconcile all tender types used for the shift period (The period of time since the last end of shift function) that were collected.
It will report the totals and variances between the expected amount totals and the actual counted totals, if they have been entered.
Any variances in the totals will be printed out on the Cash Declaration that prints to either the Windows or Receipt printers.
The report is recorded in the database for referral and can be accessed again if required.
Any terminal that processes a sale of any type and tender will need to perform an End of Shift at the end of the day to balance the totals.
End of Shift does not accumulate all terminals together; therefore each terminal will need to run the procedure individually.
The End of Shift function can be controlled by User and Clerk Permissions.
There are a number of Yes/No Options that can also be selected that can change the way the function behaves.
This function is also used with a Float Count.
This will require the clerks to enter the amount of money in the drawer at the start of their shift.
Later when the End of Shift report is printed, the figures will work out the totals less the float that was entered.
Use of the End of Shift and Float Count functions are not mandatory, but are highly recommended for installations that require accountability and financial stability.
