• INFORMATION: 

• The till should be checked multiple times a day to make sure that it is correct - only finalised at the end of that work day 

• If the amount displayed on the computer and Eftpos machine are different numbers - there is also a tutorial on how to find which one is wrong. 

STEPS: 

• On Client Diary, open the 'Reports' tab on the left hand side of the screen 

• Under the category 'Other', select 'End of Day'

• Select the large green button labeled 'Start End of Day'

• On the Eftpos machine, 'Log In' and select 'Reporting'

• On your phone calculator, minus the 'Surcharge' amount from the bold bottom number 'Total'.

• If there have been no 'Afterpay' payments that day - the number on your calculator should match the 'Eftpos' amount displayed on Client Diary. 

• If clients have payed via Afterpay that day - you will need to add the 'Eftpos' amount to the 'Afterpay' amount displayed on Client Diary; this should match the number you have on your calculator.

• (Eftpos machine 'Total' amount minus the 'Surcharge' amount) = (Client Diary 'Eftpos' amount plus the  'Afterpay' amount)

• If this is correct and the numbers match, the Till is correct :) 

• Write down the figures for the day in the Weekly Finance Report. 

• Write the cash amount on an envelope with the correct date. Put the Cash in the envelope and seal it. Put the envelope and both Eftpos terminals in the safe and lock it.
