About Reconciliation under FTx POS
"Reconciliation" is the process of closing out a shift and recording the physical number (amount) of tenders on hand against the tender amounts recorded by the system. This allows for tracking of any discrepancies between system totals and on-hand tenders.
Reconciliation takes place in two phases:
- Shift Reconciliation: This reconciliation is performed by each cashier at the close of their shift. The cashier is an employee of the store.
- Daily Reconciliation: The manager performs this reconciliation at the end of the day (or the beginning of the next day).
About Daily Reconciliation
Once the cashiers perform and finalize the Shift Reconciliation, the store manager or admin will perform the daily reconciliation by adding all the shifts through POS. Once the Daily Reconciliation is performed from the POS and marked as "Reconcile Is Final."
In this KB article, we learn how the store manager can perform the "Daily Reconciliation."
1. Performing Daily Reconciliation from POS
A Store Manager/Admin shall proceed to verify the Daily Recon by verifying all the shifts that occurred in a day.
Daily Reconciliation flow from POS:
-> Cashier marked "Reconciliation Is Final" for own shift reconciliation.
-> Store manager adds all the shifts to "Daily Reconciliation," and is redirected to the Daily Reconciliation listing screen.
