Close the shift, count the drawer and print the Z report

Quick answerIn MAJA POS tap the Shift tile, optionally print an X report, then tap Close the shift (Z), type how many of each note and coin are in the drawer, check Counted against Should be, and tap Close the shift — the server closes the shift, posts one journal to MAJA Books and the Z report prints.
Where: MAJA POS → Home → Shift → Close the shift (Z)Who: The cashier on the till

Steps

  1. On Home tap the Shift tile. The sheet shows the float, sales and refunds, takings and Cash in the drawer should be.
  2. Optionally tap X report to print the figures so far without closing.
  3. Tap Close the shift (Z).
  4. Count every note and coin in the drawer, float included, and type how many of each (1000 down to 0.25).
  5. Check Counted, Should be and Difference. Add a Note (optional) for the manager.
  6. Tap Close the shift. If the drawer is short or over, confirm — the difference is booked against the cashier.
  7. When the server answers, the Z report prints and a message gives the Z number, the journal and whether the count was exact, short or over.

What MAJA does for you

  • Works out the expected cash from the float, cash sales and refunds, pay-ins, pay-outs and drops.
  • Posts one journal for the shift in MAJA Books: cash in tills, card clearing, sales by each item's sales account, output VAT, rounding, cost of goods, drawer movements, and any short or over.
  • Dates the journal on the business day, or in the first open month if that month is closed or inside a filed VAT return.
  • Shows the shift, its Z number and journal in MAJA Books → MAJA POS → Shifts & Z reports.

Good to know

  • Sales waiting to send go first: "… sale(s) waiting to send — sending now; close again in a moment".
  • A sale the server refused stops the close until it is fixed: see Receipts.
  • Offline, the close is kept on the till and sent with the sales; the Z prints when the server answers. A new shift needs the internet.
  • A training shift posts nothing.
