Objective

Close the current shift leaving a signed summary: totals by payment type, cash denominations, differences and observations. The closing is recorded for audit.

Before starting

• Have an open cash box.
• Have CASH_BOX: WRITE.
• Have the cash counted and the cards/transfers reconciled.

Step by step

1. In the Cash box module, in the Movements tab, click Closing (blue header button).
2. The Closing dialog opens with several sections:
   • Totals by payment type (cash, card, transfer, etc.).
   • Cash denominations (counted bills and coins).
   • Difference (calculated automatically between the declared total and the physical count).
   • Cashier observations.
3. Enter the counted denominations. The system calculates the declared total.
4. If there is a difference, enter an observation explaining it.
5. Confirm with Save.

Expected result

• The closing is recorded in the Closings tab with its folio, totals, denominations and observations.
• The cash box remains open for possible later adjustments. To close it definitively, follow Close cash box.
• The system shows a success message.

Pending: add screenshot of caja-corte-01-dialogo.png.

Common errors

Situation	What to do
The difference is very large	Do not close the shift without an observation. Coordinate with administration.
A payment type is missing	Enter it in the closing even if it is zero.
The dialog does not open	Check the connection; the closing requires synchronization with the backend.

Suggested permissions

• CASH_BOX: WRITE.

Operational recommendations

• Perform the closing at the end of the shift, not mid-shift.
• Count the cash in the presence of a supervisor or co-worker.
• Attach the printed report to the closing for physical support.
• If there are recurring differences, review exit concepts and applied charges.

Relation with other modules

• Cash box (Closings): the Closings tab stores the history of closings with all the details.
• Cash box (Close cash box): the cash box closing can be done independently of the definitive close.
• Administration: the closing sheet is available for audit.
