How to run a daily cash-register closeout
A cash closeout is more than a sales total. It should explain how much cash ought to be present and why. Fleto POS separates opening cash, cash payment parts, manual cash-in and cash-out movements, expected close, and the amount physically counted. Transfers and external-terminal payments do not increase the drawer.

Step by step
Count opening cash
Count notes and coins before the first sale and enter that amount when opening the shift. Do not reuse an approximate number from yesterday.
Record expenses immediately
When cash leaves for change, supplies, transport, or a vendor, add a cash-out with a note. Record non-sale deposits as cash-in.
Check mixed payments
For a mixed sale, separate cash from transfer or terminal payment. Only the cash portion belongs in the expected drawer amount.
Count before viewing the answer
At the end of the shift, count the physical drawer first and enter the actual close. Then compare it with the expected amount.
Document the difference
Do not erase sales to hide a discrepancy. Review change, expenses, refunds, and data-entry mistakes; save the closeout and note the cause when known.
