End of day procedure (Z Daily Report)

End of day procedure is the function for closing a series of sales in a point of sales. The End of day procedure is undertaken at a certain point in time. In order for a sale to be included in the End of day procedure, it has to have been part of a Cash register reconciliation.

The End of Day procedure is initiated from the Administration area or automatically after the completion of the Cash register reconciliation if this settings was activate under Options - End of day procedure. Only Super users have access to this function.

As part of this process, the stock levels will be updated in the accounting system.

Following the End of day procedure orders are delivered and invoiced. This means that the End of day procedure cannot contain part-completed sales orders, but all orders need to be completed.

If a manual stock count has been done, the sales orders from that stock update will be deleted from the accounting system and a new sales order will be created, which includes all sales up to time of the current End of day procedure.

To carry out the End of day procedure the system needs to be connected to the Mamut Business Software database.

Note! The End of day procedure (Z Daily Report) contains information about all sales entries registered between two End of Day procedures.
