A till that balances to the books

Each till opens one session at a time, receipt numbers are issued by the server so no two terminals collide, the drawer is worked out from what was recorded, and the Z report is frozen on the session when it closes.

Who uses it

  • Cashier
  • Supervisor
  • Store manager
  • Bookkeeper

What it does

  • One open session per till, numbered, in the workspace’s currency and location.
  • Receipt numbers issued by the server in blocks, so no two terminals are given the same number.
  • The expected drawer from every cash tender, change, refund, drop, paid-in and paid-out.
  • X reports while open and a Z report frozen at close: totals by tender, VAT by rate, refunds and voids.
  • Card and mobile payments through the gateways you enable; vouchers and account sales.
  • Sales post to the ledger; stock moves with them.

How it works

  1. Open the till session.
  2. Sell: cash, card, mobile money, voucher or on account.
  3. Count the drawer at close; the Z report is frozen.
  4. Sales and cash post to the books.

The controls that protect it

  • A session closes only by the cashier who opened it or a supervisor or manager.
  • A second count of a closed till is refused; the same count again is the same close.

What it does not do (yet)

  • Point of sale comes with the Commerce add-on.
