Close the day's takings in Octyn: count each shift, carry a short on the attendant's ledger, recover it, deposit it and tie out.

Video **4 min** Updated **14 November 2026** For **Cashier and accountant** Tutorial **25 of 39**

## 01 Cash up each shift

Every closed shift is counted once, person by person, against what the meters say they sold.

1.  Go to **Cash → Collections** and pick the closed shift. Each person's expected figure comes from the meters, less the credit slips already written.
2.  Enter what each of them handed in, by payment mode.
3.  Check the variance — balanced, short or excess — before anything is posted.
4.  Choose **Reconcile & post**. A short is charged to that person's ledger, and the money counted goes into the cash book.

## 02 The attendant's balance

A short does not vanish. It is carried on a personal ledger until it is settled.

1.  Open **Settlement** and pick the person to see what they owe and every entry behind it. The cashier sees the balance; the accountant, manager or owner records the recovery.

## 03 The cash book

Everything that came into and went out of the drawer.

1.  Open **Cash book** to see the day's takings, ready to deposit. Cash-ups come in; deposits go out once the money has gone to the branch.

## 04 Recover the short

On the accountant's screen.

1.  Open their ledger under **Settlement** and choose **Record** to record a recovery. A recovery is money the person pays back.
2.  Enter the amount and choose **Save**. Their balance drops by that amount.

## 05 Deposit the takings

The counterfoil from the branch is the evidence.

1.  Open **Bank deposits**, choose **Record deposit** — one per trip to the branch — and enter the amount and the account it went into.
2.  Choose **Save**. The cash book goes down and the account balance goes up.

## 06 Did the day tie?

Sales, collections, credit and deposits for one outlet-day.

1.  Open **Day reconciliation**. It sets expected against accounted, and lists anything not yet cashed up.
2.  Payment modes — cash, card, UPI, fleet cards — are set under **Payment modes**; the cash-up screen asks for each one. A mode that is not set up cannot be counted, so add a new card terminal or fleet card here first.

**Done.** Takings counted, the short recovered, the money deposited, and the day tied. [Open it in Octyn](https://app.octynerp.com/cash/collections).
