Open the till for the day
👤 For: Whoever logs in first each morning, usually the cashier or store manager
Before the first bill of the day, Simple POS asks you to open the till. This is a quick check that the cash in your drawer matches what was left there at the end of yesterday.
When will I see this?
The Til Open screen appears automatically after the first login of the day on your main counter. Once it's done, nobody else needs to do it again that day. Everyone goes straight to billing.

- Count the cash in your drawer.
- Compare it with the Yesterday Cash amount on screen.
- If they match: make sure Verified is ticked, then tap Save.
- If they don't match: untick Verified. A Remark box appears. Type a short note explaining the difference (for example, "₹200 short, taken for milk and tea"), then tap Save.
That's it! You'll be taken to the Billing screen. 🎉
ℹ️ Note: If Verified is unticked, you must type a remark before you can save. You'll see "Reason Required" until you do.
