LESSON 1
Reconciliation
Take one venue and one day. Compare revenue, check count, refunds and discounts using the same tax and period-closing rules.
LESSON 2
Discrepancies
Check the time zone, incomplete updates, duplicates and included channels. Record expected and actual totals; correct the source or agreed configuration.
LESSON 3
Procedure
Assign responsibility for monthly closing and define control totals. Handle payroll and statutory reporting in the systems intended for those tasks.
Practical exercise
The POS has 100 checks; analytics has 90. Where should you start?
Check the answer
Start with period boundaries, the last update time and included checks, not by manually changing the total.
