Settlement & EOD
End-of-day processing and cash reconciliation.
Overview
The Settlement page tracks end-of-day (EOD) processing across all your stores. EOD settlement is the process of closing out the business day — reconciling cash drawers, finalizing transactions, and syncing daily data to HQ.
What you see
For each store, the Settlement page shows:
- Last settlement date: When the store last completed EOD
- Settlement status: Completed (on time), late (overdue by more than 1 day), or missing (no EOD in 2+ days)
- Transaction count: Number of transactions processed since the last settlement
- Reconciliation status: Whether the cash drawer balances match expected totals
Why settlement matters
Stores that don't run EOD create problems:
- Financial reporting gaps: HQ can't close the day's books without settlement data from all stores
- Cash reconciliation drift: The longer a drawer stays open, the harder it is to trace discrepancies
- Transaction accumulation: Unsettled transactions pile up and create large replication batches that slow sync
Monitoring patterns
Use the settlement calendar view to spot patterns:
- Consistent late settlements: May indicate the store manager isn't following procedures — a training issue
- Sudden settlement gap: Could mean the POS is offline or the settlement process is failing — a technical issue
- Weekend gaps: Expected if the store is closed, but verify against your store hours
