Tender Reconcile Wizard

The Tender Reconcile Wizard guides you through the end-of-day process of comparing physically counted tenders against Quasar's transaction records, recording any over/short, and transferring final tender totals to a bank deposit or safe. The wizard processes one store at a time and enforces sequential date finalization. Access from Sales › Tender Reconcile.

The wizard consists of six pages that are traversed in a context-sensitive order depending on whether shifts still need reconciling or only finalization remains.

Page 1 — Store Selection

Select the store to reconcile. The wizard defaults to your current store.

Store

Store lookup. The Next button is disabled until a valid store is selected.

On Next, the wizard queries the database for:

• Transactions not yet assigned to a shift ("not rungoff"), grouped by work date and station/employee
• Shifts not yet reconciled, grouped by work date

If nothing needs reconciling for the selected store, an error is shown and you remain on this page.

Page 2 — Date Selection

Select the work date you want to process. The list shows all dates with outstanding work.

Work Dates

List of work dates requiring action with status for each.

ColumnDescription
DateThe work date requiring action.
StatusCurrent state of the date:
Not rungoff — Transactions exist that haven't been assigned to a shift
Not reconciled — Shifts exist that haven't been counted and reconciled
Not finalized — All station/employee shifts are done; only the safe shift remains for finalization
• A date may show a combination (e.g., "Not rungoff, Not reconciled")

When you click Next, the wizard determines where to go:

• If shifts still need reconciling (station/employee shifts remain) → Page 3: Reconcile Shifts
• If only the safe shift remains → Page 6: Finalize Work Date (skips Pages 3–5)

Page 3 — Reconcile Shifts

Lists all unreconciled shifts for the selected date. Select a shift and click Next to enter your tender count for that shift. The column headers adapt based on the store's shift method:

Shifts

ColumnBy StationBy Employee
Shift #Auto-assigned shift number.
Column 2Station #Employee #
Column 3Station NameEmployee Name
Counted?Checkmark if tender counts have already been entered for this shift.

Ringoff Button

Enabled when transactions exist that haven't been assigned to a shift for the selected date. Clicking Ringoff opens a dialog listing stations or employees with un-rungoff transactions:

Ringoff List

Stations or employees with un-rungoff transactions for the selected date.

ColumnDescription
Station # / Employee #Number of the station or employee (adapts to store's shift method).
Station Name / Employee NameName of the station or employee.
# TransactionsCount of posted transactions not yet assigned to a shift.

Select a row and click Ringoff to create a shift for the selected station/employee. Click Cancel to return without ringoff. Safe station/employee entries are excluded — they are handled on the Finalize page.

Page 4 — Count Tenders

Enter the physically counted amount for each tender type in the selected shift.

Tender Counts

List of tender types and the counted amount for each.

ColumnDescription
TenderTender type name (e.g., Cash, Visa, Cheque).
AmountThe physically counted amount for this tender.

Clear Counts

Resets all counted amounts to zero.

Count Tenders

Opens the full Tender Count dialog for detailed counting:

The Tender Count dialog supports three counting modes based on each tender's configuration:

ModeDescription
Single AmountOne money field per tender (e.g., Debit, Visa). Enter the total counted amount directly.
Multiple AmountsEnter multiple amounts per tender (e.g., individual cheques). Each entry is added to a running list with Clear/Remove buttons and a running total.
DenominationCount by bills and coins. Enter a quantity for each denomination (e.g., 3 × $100, 12 × $20). Amounts are auto-calculated (qty × multiplier) with a running total. A Clear button resets all denominations.

Bottom buttons: Clear All resets all tenders, OK saves counts back to the wizard, Cancel discards changes.

Click Next to proceed to the summary where over/short is calculated.

Page 5 — Reconcile Summary

Displays the comparison between system transaction totals, your physical count, and the resulting over/short for each tender. Also shows the calculated bank deposit and safe transfer amounts.

Reconcile Summary

List of tender totals, counts, over/short, bank deposit and safe amounts.

ColumnDescription
TenderTender type name.
TransactionsTotal tender amount from all transactions in the shift (what Quasar expected).
CountedThe amount you physically counted (from Page 4).
Over/ShortDifference: Counted − Transactions. Positive = over, negative = short.
Bank DepositAmount to be deposited to the bank for this tender (for tenders configured for automatic bank deposit).
SafeAmount transferred to the safe for carry-forward into the next work day.

Reconcile Action

Clicking Next executes the reconciliation, which:

• Records any over/short as a Tender Adjustment transaction
• Creates a Tender Transfer out from the station/employee to the safe
• Creates a Tender Transfer in at the safe (or at the configured safe store/forward store)
• Marks the shift as reconciled

If the over/short exceeds the tender's configured limit, a confirmation dialog appears asking whether to proceed or cancel.

After Reconciliation

The wizard automatically navigates based on remaining work:

• More shifts to reconcile → Returns to Page 3: Reconcile Shifts
• Only safe shift remains → Returns to Page 2: Date Selection (select the date again to finalize)
• Date fully complete → Returns to Page 2 or Page 1 if no dates remain

Page 6 — Finalize Work Date

The final step that closes out the work date. This page shows the safe's tender totals and allows an optional physical count before finalizing.

Finalize Work Date

List of safe tender totals, optional counts, bank deposits and carry-forward amounts.

ColumnDescription
TenderTender type name.
SafeTotal tender amount currently in the safe (from transactions and transfers in).
CountedPhysically counted amount (optional — defaults to matching the safe total).
Over/ShortDifference: Counted − Safe.
Bank DepositAmount that will be deposited to the bank (for tenders set to deposit at day-end).
Carry ForwardAmount that will be transferred to the next work day's opening balance.

Clear Counts

Resets the safe count to zero.

Count Tenders

Opens the full Tender Count screen for denomination-based counting of the safe contents.

Finalize Action

Clicking Finalize performs the following:

• Reconciles the safe shift (records over/short via Tender Adjustment)
• Creates a bank deposit for tenders configured to deposit at day-end
• Creates a tender transfer to carry forward remaining tenders into the next work day
• Marks the safe shift as reconciled, closing the work date

Pre-Finalize Validation

Before finalization proceeds, the system verifies:

• All earlier dates for this store must already be finalized
• All other stores that safe-deposit or carry-forward to this store must be finalized for the work date
• If new safe transactions arrived since the last ringoff, the existing safe shift is voided and re-created to include the new transactions

After Finalization

• If more dates need work → Returns to Page 2: Date Selection
• If no dates remain → Returns to Page 1: Store Selection
