End-of-day closing and reports
Three steps at the end of the evening: settle drivers and waiters, count the money, run the Z closing.
1. X report: the interim status
The X report shows the current status without closing anything. You can call it up as often as you like – at a shift change, for example.
2. Finance report: where the balance comes from
The finance report derives the cash balance step by step:
| Deliveries on the road | Money still with the drivers |
| Deliveries settled | Already handed over |
| Cash taken | Received at the main till |
| With waiters | Collected but not yet settled |
| Other bookings | Deposits and withdrawals from the cash book |
| Current balance | What should be in the drawer |
With count money you enter the amount actually counted. The report shows the difference openly instead of hiding it.
3. Z closing
- Open Z closing. Cash due is at the top.
- Enter the counted amount (optional, but recommended).
- Run end-of-day closing.
If orders are still open, the till warns you beforehand. Several closings on the same day are possible; afterwards work can continue as normal.
Under Settings → Till & closing you can set an automatic end-of-day closing at a fixed time – for a delivery business usually at night, when the venue is certainly closed.
4. DSFinV-K export
In the back office under Reports you download the export as a zip file: master data, receipt headers, line items, payment types and VAT per closing. This file is what is requested during a cash inspection – if in doubt, show it to your tax adviser once in advance.
