End Retail Period

The End Retail Period is a menu option that is required for 24–hour trading. It is initiated after all the tills have been counted using the Reconcile Register or Reconcile Till menu options. See Reconcile Register/Till. The store safe is counted during this process and the deposits confirmed. The End of Retail Period can be deferred to a later date.

The end of retail period process is needed to close a business date after the business period has closed and till reconciliation has completed. The End Retail Period process closes the books on the business date.

To end a retail period:

1. Select End Retail Period from the Open/Close Options menu.

   The business periods are listed in chronological order by date.

2. Select the business period from a list of reconciled business periods and click OK.

3. The prompt, Do you want to close the following retail period? is displayed.

   Select Yes.

4. The Store Safe Deposit Count Summary and Count Denomination screens follow. Select a tender and enter the amount by denomination.

5. When all amounts have been entered for the required tenders, select Counting Complete. The Confirm Safe Deposit screen confirms the bank deposit amounts.

6. An End Retail Period message is displayed: "Retail period has ended. <date/time> - <date/time>". Select OK to continue.

7. Once the business period is closed, the user is returned to the Xstore Home screen.

Once the end of retail period has been processed, the period cannot be re-opened, and no further action can be performed.
