The End of Day procedure must be completed every day to ensure financial information in the system is correct and up to date. If the End of Day is not completed the reports will be incorrect and the client history will not be updated, meaning that certain functions of the system will not be useable.
End of Shift can be performed before the end of the day, for example, if you have two different shifts in reception, one starts at 9 and finishes at 3 and one starts at 3 and finishes at 9, at the end of the first shift the End of Shift is performed, this will then account for all monies taken from the first shift and ensure that when the second shift starts that the till is balanced, at the end of the second shift the End of Day will be completed.
Use the following as a guide, it is not the only way to approach an “End Of Day” but it is the method recommended by Premier Software Solutions. Your management team may have also introduced additional procedures that must be completed along with the Premier Software requirement.

“Take Non Arrivals of Course at End of Day” – for future release.
“Add Non Arrivals to Account at End of Day” – if a client does not turn up for a treatment you can allocate any lost revenue to the client account as they are still required to pay.
“Add to Account at %” - this is the amount in % that will be added to client's account.
“End of Count Down Attempts” – you can state how many attempts your staff can try and complete by the end of the day, if this is activated after the last attempt the end of the day will automatically be confirmed regardless of whether being right or wrong.
“Enable End of Shift” – this will need to be enabled if you have split shifts, for example, one member of staff's shift starts at 7.00 am and finishes at 2.00 pm - before this staff member leaves for the day you require them to account for any revenue that they have been responsible for. This will mean the till will be fully reconciled before the 2nd member of staff shift commences.
The first part of reconciling the till is to count everything in the till drawer at the end of the day. You will need to count all of the cash, credit card slips, cheques and redeemed gift vouchers; this procedure is the same regardless of the end of shift or end of day.
You may have split your credit cards and have a button in the till for each card type. This will mean calculating an individual total for each card type specified. You may also have additional payment methods configured to say “Enter Value at End of Shift /End of Day” and these must also be calculated. These payments would already have been configured within “Administrator”.
The simplest way to check the figures is to run the “Bills Analysis with Payment Methods” report. This report lists each receipt put through the till, who was served, the bill value and the payment method used. Any split payments or change given out are also noted.
Figure 3
If there are any discrepancies between the totals showing in the report and the actual totals in the till these can be amended. There is a facility named “Amend Receipts” which can be utilised at any point BEFORE the “End Of Day” has been confirmed.
Figure 4
The till totals need to be entered into “Reception” to complete the “End of Shift”.
Figure 5
Figure 6
This will produce the “End Of Shift Analysis” report which lists every transaction that has gone through the till. On the last page of the report on the left will be the totals which have just been entered (the actual takings); on the right, there will be the totals that have been processed through the Premier Spa system (expected takings). Any differences between your actual and expected takings will be displayed in the centre of the two columns.
If there is no difference between the actual and expected totals “Complete the End of Shift Procedure‟ by clicking on the Green Backwards Arrow the following screen will be shown (Figure 7).

NOTE: if this is only the end of shift DO NOT answer “Yes” to completing the “End of Day”, the answer will be “No”. The following screen will now be shown (Figure 10).

The “End Of Shift / Day Analysis” report cannot be re-created once the “End Of Shift / Day” has been confirmed, however in Enterprise Manager>Reports>Bills>End of Day Review gives you the option to re-print this report at any stage.
Premier Software recommends you always export the document in a “pdf” format to ensure that the information cannot be changed.
Once the report has been printed, exported or both; Close the “End Of Day Analysis” report.
