How do I perform a cash register closing?

After finishing a business day, you should perform a cash register closing at every register. The cash register closing is done directly in the POS App.

Open the Cash Register Closings entry

Open the app menu and select the Cash Register Closings entry. You'll now see a list of all cash register closings that have already been performed, including date and processed by. The fiskaly notice on the far right tells you whether the cash register closing has been transmitted to fiskaly. If you want to make a cash withdrawal beforehand, you can do this via the Deposits and Withdrawals menu item. You can find more information about this here. Tap on New Cash Register Closing.

Count the cash and enter the amount

Now count all the money in the register - a separate count of the individual bill and coin values is not legally required - and enter the amount in the upper field.

If there is a discrepancy between the counted cash balance and the expected target cash balance, you'll see this in the lower line and can recount the cash balance and correct it if necessary. Any discrepancy will also be shown on the cash register report afterwards.

Close the register

Click on Close Register to perform the cash register closing and create the corresponding cash register report. You can also find all cash register reports in your Shopware Admin. If you made a mistake during the cash register closing, follow the steps described here.

After a register is closed for the first time, the newly entered cash balance is always automatically carried over as the last cash balance for the following day or the following cash register closing. This means that as long as the register is not fully emptied in the evening, the opening cash balance doesn't need to be manually entered again every day.

A retroactive cash register closing is not possible. For more information on what to do if you forgot to perform one, see here.
