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.
