Open the cash register

Opening the register is the first operation of the day. No sale or register operation is possible until the register is open.

If Open and close register procedures is checked in preferences (cash register / finance section), the open → sales → close flow is enforced: until the register is open for the day, ticket validation may be blocked.

Procedure

1. Open the safe and take out the float.
2. Count the float.
3. Log in to Activiteez and select the correct register (location) if you manage several.
4. Open the register:
   • Cash register → cash register… menu (right of day selector) → Open register;
   • or Open register shortcut in the sidebar (depending on plan and permissions).
5. Enter counted amounts for cash and cheques (also ANCV-type flows if you use them).
6. Click OK.

Opening records the state of payment methods tracked at the register (cash, cheques, card, etc., per your configured list).

Discrepancy with yesterday’s closing

If the counted amount differs from the amount entered at the previous closing:

1. Recount the float.
2. If the discrepancy remains:
   • check that a register closing was done yesterday — see Close the cash register;
   • check the safe (part of the float may still be there);
   • enter the counted amount twice and record the cause in remarks.
