Objective

Definitively close the active cash box so that no more movements are recorded and a new shift can be opened when required.

Before starting

  • Have performed a recent Cash box closing that reflects the current state.
  • Confirm that there are no pending operations (charges, exits, advances in process).
  • Have CASH_BOX: ADMIN.

Step by step

  1. In the Cash box module, with the active cash box, click Close cash box (red header button).
  2. The system asks for confirmation: "Are you sure you want to close the cash box?".
  3. Confirm the operation.
  4. The system closes the cash box and leaves it in closed status.

Expected result

  • The active cash box is closed.
  • The header returns to show the Open cash box button.
  • The CryoBank, Closings and Invoices tabs are disabled until a new cash box is opened.
  • The system shows a success message.
  • The closed shift's movements remain visible in the movements table, but the cash box no longer accepts more operations.

Operational recommendations

  • Before closing the cash box, perform the closing to leave a formal record of the shift.
  • Closing is the final action of the shift. After closing, subsequent operations require opening a new cash box.

Relation with other modules

  • Cash box (Closings): the last closing of the cash box stands as evidence of the closure.
  • Patients, schedule, CryoBank: no monetary operation can be recorded until a new cash box is opened.
