Z-out End of Day Cash Reconciliation

We're excited to introduce End of Day Cash Reconciliation – a comprehensive solution for managing your daily till operations directly within Clava via Point of Sale.

What's new:

• Cash Drawer Management: Configure multiple cash drawers for each location in your POS Hardware settings https://app.clava.co.uk/settings/pos-hardware, making it easy to track transactions across different registers and sites.
• Register Selection: When processing cash sales, your staff can now select which cash drawer they're using, ensuring accurate transaction attribution throughout the day.
• Register History: Access a detailed history view for each register, filterable by location and date range, so you can review all transactions for specific shifts or time periods.
• Daily Reconciliation: Perform end-of-day cash counts with an intuitive interface that includes a denomination counter for notes and coins. The system automatically calculates any variances between expected and actual cash.
• Z-Out Reports: Generate comprehensive Z-out reports that show cash deposit amounts, card payment totals, Gift Card purchases and redemptions, and total accounts - everything you need for banking and record-keeping. You can run multiple Z-Outs per day, as we automatically start a new period after each Z-Out.
• Local Currency Support: Cash counting interfaces automatically display the correct denominations for your local currency, whether you're working in pounds, euros, or dollars.
• Permission Controls: Z-out functionality is permission-based, ensuring only authorised managers can perform end-of-day reconciliation.
• Manage Petty Cash: Manage petty cash both in and out direct from POS, simply click on Petty cash to record in and out as well as view a history.
• Smart POS Interface: Checkout is now faster and more intuitive. Our new "Smart Buttons" adapt to your setup in real-time; you’ll only see options for the hardware you actually have connected. Whether you're managing petty cash or processing a quick "no-receipt" sale, the interface stays clean, showing you exactly what you need - and nothing you don't.

This feature streamlines your point of sales and closing procedures and eliminates the need for separate reconciliation systems, giving you accurate financial tracking and peace of mind at the end of each day.
