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.
Steps
- On Home tap the Shift tile. The sheet shows the float, sales and refunds, takings and Cash in the drawer should be.
- Optionally tap X report to print the figures so far without closing.
- Tap Close the shift (Z).
- Count every note and coin in the drawer, float included, and type how many of each (1000 down to 0.25).
- Check Counted, Should be and Difference. Add a Note (optional) for the manager.
- Tap Close the shift. If the drawer is short or over, confirm — the difference is booked against the cashier.
- 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.
