Opening and closing a cashier shift
Manage shift start float, process sales throughout the day, and reconcile at end of shift.
5 min read
Every POS session runs inside a cashier shift. The shift tracks the opening float, all sales and refunds during the day, and the closing balance. It must be closed before the next cashier can open a new one.
- 1Open the POS from the sidebar under POS → POS Terminal and click Start Shift.
- 2Enter the opening float — the cash in the till at the start of the day.
- 3Process sales throughout the day. The shift accumulates totals automatically.
- 4At end of day, click End Shift from the POS terminal screen.
- 5Count the physical cash in the till and enter it. MSME Link calculates the variance.
- 6Confirm the close. An end-of-day summary is available for the manager under POS → Shift History.
Only one shift can be open at a time per branch. A manager can close a shift on behalf of a cashier from the Shift History page if needed.
