X report and closing

The X report checks your drawer during service, without stopping anything. Closing ends the register: you count the drawer, the server compares it with the expected amount (what the drawer should contain), and the closing receipt comes out.

In the drawer (right-hand column), tap the Rapport X (X report) link, next to Grand livre (Ledger).

The Rapport X screen shows the server’s preview, “l’état du tiroir en cours de service, sans clôturer” (the state of the drawer during service, without closing):

  • the header: Caisse (Register), Titulaire (Holder), Ouverte le (Opened on), État au (State at, to the second), Journée de jeu (Gaming day);
  • the théorique du tiroir (expected drawer amount) and its Détail du théorique (Expected amount details: opening float, refills, intakes, withdrawals, manual payments, tablet hand-ins…), cash by payment mode;
  • Pas encore compté dans le théorique (Not yet counted in the expected amount): what is still waiting for a proof (never shown as a zero);
  • À côté du tiroir (Beside the drawer), for information: Crédits sur les machines (Credits on the machines), Offerts (hors chiffre) (Complimentary (not in takings)), Restes d’encaissement à engager (Intake remainders to commit), Créances ouvertes (Open debts), Transferts en cours (Transfers in progress);
  • Rapports X déjà édités (X reports already issued), with Réimprimer (Reprint) on each one.
  1. Read the preview.
  2. Tap Éditer et imprimer le X n° 3 (Issue and print X no. 3). The server numbers it, keeps it and prints it: “Rapport X n° 3 édité” (X report no. 3 issued). Nothing moves in the drawer.

If the answer gets lost, the register checks by itself whether the X report was issued (“Vérification de l’édition…”, Checking the issue…) before offering Renvoyer le rapport X (Resend the X report): the server never issues two.

In the navigation bar, tap Clôture (Closing). The Clôture de la journée (Day closing) screen has four steps: Avant de clôturer (Before closing), Billettage (Cash count), Vérifier (Check), Clôturée (Closed).

  1. Avant de clôturer (Before closing) — before any counting, the register shows what will refuse the closing (“Ce qui bloquera la clôture”, What will block the closing), with a link to the screen where you can settle it. You can count right away; tap Compter le tiroir (Count the drawer).
  2. Billettage (Cash count) — for each coupure (denomination), type the quantité (quantity); the sous-total (subtotal) and the Total compté (Total counted) are worked out. Tap Vérifier le comptage (Check the count).
  3. Vérifier (Check) — four figures: Théorique (Expected), Compté (Counted), Écart (Variance), Essais restants (Attempts left). A sentence says what is going to happen (“Aucun écart. La clôture imprimera le ticket de clôture.”, No variance. Closing will print the closing receipt.). Tap the send button, or Recompter (Count again) to go back to the cash count.
  4. Clôturée (Closed) — “Journée clôturée” (Day closed), the Écart retenu (Variance recorded), then Imprimer le ticket de clôture (Print the closing receipt) and Se déconnecter (Sign out). The closing receipt has already gone to the printer; the button prints a duplicate.
Message What to do
“Tablettes : 265 000 Ar non remis — chaque tablette doit demander sa remise, et vous la confirmer.” (Tablets: 265,000 Ar not handed in — each tablet must request its hand-in, and you must confirm it.) settle your tablets: ceiling brought back to what was used, hand-in confirmed (Tablets)
“1 remise à confirmer (265 000 Ar) — comptez les billets et confirmez avant de clôturer.” (1 hand-in to confirm (265,000 Ar) — count the banknotes and confirm before closing.) Ouvrir les remises (Open hand-ins), count, confirm
“Transfert incertain ouvert (…) — à résoudre par l’exploitation avant la clôture.” (Open uncertain transfer (…) — to be resolved by operations before closing.) operations resolves the transfer (proof of a transfer)
“1 encaissement avec un reste (10 000 Ar) — créditez, remboursez ou laissez en créance avant de clôturer.” (1 intake with a remainder (10,000 Ar) — credit, refund or leave as a debt before closing.) Encaissements en cours (Intakes in progress) (Credit a machine)
“1 encaissement non financé — l’exploitation doit régulariser avant la clôture.” (1 unfunded intake — operations must adjust it before closing.) operations makes the adjustment in the back office (Intakes)

Manual payments still to settle do not block: “Paiements manuels restant à régler — ils resteront ouverts après la clôture.” (Manual payments left to settle — they will stay open after closing.)

The variance, the tolerance and the attempts

Section titled “The variance, the tolerance and the attempts”

The expected amount comes from the server; Voir le détail du théorique (See the expected amount details) gives each of its lines. If it is still waiting for a proof, it is marked Théorique provisoire (Provisional expected amount).

  • No variance, or within the venue’s tolerance: the button says Clôturer la journée (Close the day).
  • Variance outside tolerance: the button says Soumettre ce comptage — essai 1 sur 3 (Submit this count — attempt 1 of 3). Count again if needed; each submission outside tolerance uses up one attempt.
  • No attempts left: the button becomes Valider l’écart et clôturer (Accept the variance and close) — “Plus d’essai. La validation enregistre l’écart sur votre caisse et prévient l’exploitation.” (No attempts left. Accepting records the variance on your register and warns operations.)

The number of attempts is the venue’s “Tentatives de clôture avec écart” (Closing attempts with a variance) setting (3 by default).
