Start from shift sales
Expected settlement should start from shift-wise sales and readings, not from cash count alone.
Separate payment modes
Cash, card, UPI, coupons, credit invoices, and expenses should be separated clearly before calculating handover.
Investigate differences early
Mismatches should be checked against readings, expenses, payment entries, coupon use, and invoice records before the next shift cycle becomes busy.
