Shift Management & Cash Till Reconciliation

To maintain cash accountability and prevent discrepancies, Cubix Lite POS requires an active shift before starting sales.

1. Opening a New Shift

1. When starting your workday, the register presents the Open Shift dialog.
2. Enter your Starting Float Cash (Opening Cash Drawer balance) for each currency.
3. Add optional notes (e.g. “Morning Barista Shift”).
4. Click Open Shift. The top header bar turns green displaying the active shift number (e.g. Shift: 1).

2. Cash In & Cash Out (Petty Cash Movements)

During an active shift, you can record intermediate cash adjustments without breaking sale totals:

• Cash In: Adding additional float or cash to the till.
• Cash Out / Petty Cash: Paying for daily expenses, supplier deliveries, or tips out of the till.

3. Closing Shift & Blind Cash Count (Z-Report)

At the end of the shift:

1. Click the Shift badge in the top navigation bar or go to Shift Management.
2. Enter the Actual Counted Cash in your drawer for each denomination or currency.
3. The system compares the physical cash counted against system expected sales and calculates any overage or shortage.
4. Finalize the shift to generate and print the official Z-Report (Shift Summary) with sales breakdowns, payments received, tax, and discount totals.
