Open a shift with an opening float

Before you start

• Opening a shift needs the internet once, because the server keeps the shift. After that the till can sell offline.

Steps

1. Sign in with your PIN. On Home, the Shift tile says "no open shift — tap to open".
2. Tap the Shift tile.
3. Count the float in the drawer — the notes and coins you start the day with.
4. Type the amount in Opening float · AED, or build it with the +50, +100, +200 and +500 buttons (clear starts again).
5. Tap Open the shift.
6. The message "Shift open — float AED …" shows and the tile now reads "open since … · float …".

What MAJA does for you

• Records the shift on the server with its business date, the till, the cashier and the float.
• Uses the float in the "Cash in the drawer should be" figure when you close the shift.
• If you tap PAY with no shift open, MAJA opens this sheet first and then continues to the payment.

Good to know

• If the server already has an open shift for this till (for example opened before the device was reset), the till takes it over: "The server already had this till's shift open — the till now works in it".
• Offline you see "Opening a shift needs the internet once — the server keeps the shift. Sign the till's MAJA account in and try again".
• A till paused in MAJA Books (Tills & cashiers → Pause) cannot open a new shift.
• A shift opened in training mode only takes training sales.
