Opening and Closing Register in Prokip

The register in POS helps you track daily cash movements — when you start your shift (opening) and when you end it (closing). This keeps your sales, expenses, and cash flow accurate.

Before You Start

• Make sure you’re logged into Prokip with the correct user account.
• Confirm that you have permission to manage POS registers (admins can assign this).
• Have your opening cash amount ready (the money you start the day with in the till).

Opening the Register

1. Go to POS from the dashboard.
2. If no register is open,  “Open Register.”
3. Enter the Opening Cash Amount (the physical money you have at the start of the shift).
   • Example: If you start the day with ₦20,000 cash in the drawer, type that in.
4. Add Business Location (For Multiple business locations).
5. Click Open Register.

Now you can start recording sales, expenses, and payments.

Closing the Register

At the end of your shift or business day:

1. Go to POS.
2. Click on Close Register.
3. The system will show a summary of transactions for the shift:
   • Sales total
   • Payments received (Cash, Card, Bank Transfer, etc.)
   • Expected closing balance(Cash in hand).
4. Add Notes if needed, e.g. “Closing after evening shift.”
5. Click Close Register.

After Closing

• A register report is saved, showing the Sales during the shift.
• Managers or admins can review this under Reports → Sales → Register.

Best Practices

• Always open and close the register at the start and end of each shift/day.
• Count cash physically and match it with the system balance before closing.
• Use clear notes (e.g. “Evening shift, handled by Mary”) to make reports easier to track.
• If multiple staff use POS, assign separate registers for accountability.
