To access End ShiftThe End Shift function was designed to provide the ability to group transactions together in "shifts" independent from the date. This allows cash drawer reconciliation and the corresponding reports to match.
Scenario
You just finished balancing your cash drawer for the day's transactions and a customer comes in late to pick up his vehicle. You receive payment for the invoice and it is posted using today's date but it will only be processed during tomorrow's cash balancing. If the reports are run for reconciliation purposes by date they won't match the transactions that occurred for the "shift" as this late transaction would be included. Using the End Shift function allows reports to be run for a particular shift.
The End Shift dialog shows the last posted invoice number and the date and time it was posted on. It also shows the last shift's date and time and the current date and time in which it will end the current shift.
All transactions between these dates and times will be grouped together as a new shift.
End Shift creates a new shift with the criteria shown.
Delete will permanently delete the last shift that was created.
Cancel will close the dialog with no changes made.
Tip: The delete function would be a useful method to include a new transaction into a shift you may have just created. Deleting the shift and recreating it anew would include any new transactions that had been posted since the last End Shift.
