At the end of each day, or shift, you'll probably want to reconcile your till to check that the cash and card payments processed through EPOS match the actual cash and card payments received. This allows you to identify and correct any discrepancies early on.
Total the actual cash and card payments
You will need to know how much you actually took on card and in cash. So you'll need to count the contents of the till, remembering to take into account any cash float you started with, and print a summary reading from your PDQ machine.
It's a good idea to use a daily cash sheet on which you record how much you've taken each day and attach any PDQ summary print outs. Here's an example:
Get a list of the days transactions processed in Brightpearl
To view your transactions list for a particular date, click the Payments link at the bottom of the screen.
Use the links at the top of the transactions list to print, change the date, view cash transactions only or card transactions only.
Hint: View cash or card transactions only to see the overall total (sales less refunds).
You can print this listing to keep along with your cash sheet and PDQ print out for your own records.
Make sure you also read about EPOS and accounting so that you understand what's going on behind the scenes.
