Background

A float is used to start the day, cash transactions are done, money may be taken from the till and at the end of the day a check count is completed then the float for the next day removed.

The cash removed is then banked (sometimes at the same time as cash from other days)

Credit card transactions are also linked to the same batch

If a discrepancy is recorded at the end of the day between cash expected and cash counted - a journal is created and added to the batch

End of day may also update your credit card machine provider (if using Tyro)

Repairable parts require counting as part of the POS count

Closing the batch NOT at the end of the day

Tyro allows a batch to be closed every day - but only one batch.
If you close the batch - it immediately opens another one dated the next day.
All transactions done after this time will go into tomorrows batch.

Example

if you do a final cash count and close tyro at 8am Tuesday.
Tyro will open a batch for Wednesday and all transactions for Tuesday and Wednesday will go into the Tyro batch for Wednesday.
An attempt to close the batch on Tuesday evening will fail
1. Tyro will not close another batch for the day
2. Our system will also fail to close the batch when Tyro fails
3. A cash count can be done - but not an end of day cash count
There will not be a requirement for a new batch on Wednesday as one already exists
End of day count on Wednesday will proceed normally
All Tyro transactions are already grouped into Wednesday from Tuesday after Tuesdays batch was closed

When the final cash count is done and Tyro closes the day - the tyro system sends a file (gets attached to the batch) of all the transactions that day. If Tyro has transactions that the batch does not have (there can be multiple reasons for this for example manual transactions )- an alert email is sent to users with the secure feature Secure Features#ReceiveTyroDiscrepancies

When the Store is Closed for the day

When the store is closed for a day - the batch setup for the previous day needs to be moved to the current day - ie the date changed

Count the Recycling Parts (Parts taken from customer phones that are being sent back for recycling) - see /wiki/spaces/FK/pages/32640126. The count is any parts marked as "used part" that have not been added to a transfer.

Counted = sum counted
Expected = cash expected based on cash transactions
Discrepancy = Expected - counted
Starting Float = Cash counted end of previous day
Card payments = card payments based on cc payments
Total 1 = eft payments via ZIP, Layby or POS integrated (ie card payments PLUS Zip or Layby)
Total 2 = All Payment methods after refunds - ie Expected Cash PLUS Card Payments Plus Zip Plus Layby

If there is a discrepancy amount - this will create a discrepancy journal and may be investigated
