The POS till(s) should be reconciled after each trading day (Till reconciliation’s do not need to be performed at the end of the day, the company can start trading the next day and users can backdate the reconciliation if required excluding future dated transactions). This process allows for any variances in payments received to be taken up, and for the POS transactions to be finalised and updated to the various accounting ledgers. Tills can be reconciled individually, or all tills for a specific warehouse, or all tills can be reconciled at once, and a single day is reconciled at one time. users must select the till they wish to reconcile, or ** - All Registers, enter the date they wish to reconcile and then click OK.
Register/Till – Selecting *** - All Registers will display all transactions for all registers to be reconciled together, alternatively users can select individual registers to reconcile individually and one at a time or all tills for a specific warehouse. |

POS Reconciliation Report Example

During the invoice update process, if any invoices being updated were converted from sales orders that had prepayments attached, the on-account amounts associated with these prepayments will be offset against the invoices automatically.
